The evolution of modern architecture has been inextricably
entangled in issues of politics, nationalism, and the environment,
creating a tension between local context and global development
that is unresolved to this day. In this context, few writers have
exerted as much influence on architectural theory and practice as
Kenneth Frampton. In this illustrated volume, twenty-nine
contributors from around the world amplify and pay tribute to his
writing and thought. Intended for all those concerned with the
built environment, this book offers further evidence of how this
scholar, humanist, and teacher has shaped our understanding of the
working reality of the architect. The premise of Modern
Architecture and the Lifeworld is rooted in Frampton's
understanding of how architecture must engage with both cultural
and constructional imperatives; and it addresses strategies for
grappling with contemporary concerns such as regional identity
amidst urban globalization, and tectonic culture and landform in
the construction of place. Supported by the Graham Foundation for
Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.
