Written over four decades, Critiquing the Modern in Architecture is
a collection of essays exploring the ideological and metaphysical
core of modern architecture. Author Jaimini Mehta moves
architectural modernism from its primarily Eurocentric definition,
interrogating the subject from the perspective on a non-western
thought-world. Mehta groups his essays under three key themes:
"Rethinking Modernity" explores the ideological underpinnings of
the modernity/modernism binary; "The Idea of Architecture" looks at
a number of issues that constitute the timeless and the invariable
aspects of architecture against which the prevalent modernist
discourse can be critically evaluated; and "On Praxis" looks at
three contemporary architects' work and the Vienna Secessionist
movement between 1890 and 1918 to articulate a critique of the
underpinnings of the modern movement. Providing a new view of the
modern in architecture, this book is critical reading for
architectural theorists and scholars of modernism.
