This work sets out to describe the aesthetic qualities intrinsic to
the work of such architects as Le Corbusier, Oud, Gropius and Mies
van der Rohe. The authors observed the distinguishing features that
made possible a definition of a new "style": emphasis on volume as
opposed to mass; regularity as opposed to symmetry; and dependence
on the intrinsic elegance of materials as opposed to applied
decoration. First published in 1932 to coincide with an
architectural exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, this reissue
contains a new foreword by Philip Johnson reflecting on the impact
of these principles over 60 years after they were first set forth.
