Advancing a Different Modernism analyzes a long-ignored but
formative aspect of modern architecture and art. By examining
selective buildings by the Catalan architect Lluis Domenech i
Montaner (1850-1923) and by the Slovenian designer Joze Plecnik
(1872-1957), the book reveals the fundamental political and
ideological conservatism that helped shape modernism's history and
purpose. This study thus revises the dominant view of modernism as
a union of progressive forms and progressive politics. Instead,
this innovative volume promotes a nuanced and critical
consideration of how architecture was creatively employed to
advance radically new forms and methods, while simultaneously
consolidating an essentially conservative nationalist self-image.
