With the collapse of Modernism in the 1960s, architecture has
fragmented and evolved in many different directions, each driven by
its own ideologies and theories. This book sets out a clear and
comprehensive guide to the prominent styles and movements, tracing
the work of the main protagonists of contemporary architecture.
Architecture Today is divided thematically into sixteen
chapters, offering an incisive critique of the predominant trends,
stylistic and regional, of the last twenty-five years. These
include the Los Angeles Avant-Garde and Experimentation in Japan,
as well as the stylistic upheavals of Post-Modernism and
Deconstructivism and the global development of Ecological
Architecture and the Contemporary Vernacular. Biographies of the
architects featured are also included in the book.
Free from the jargon that often characterizes architectural
criticism, Architecture Today is essential reading for all those
interested in architecture, the visual arts and modern culture.
