Moderne architectuur

Een kritische geschiedenis

Kenneth Frampton

This internationally renowned survey, source book and critical history is an treasure trove of visual and documentary material. All the major collective experiments, from constructivism and expressionism to functionalism and International Style, with key figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, are passed in review. Lesser known movements, such as the New Tradition and the New Monumentality, are also covered in this ‘history of ideas’. The book concludes with a critical discussion of the most important contemporary movements, including postmodern architecture.

About the author: Kenneth Frampton (1930) has been a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture and Planning in New York since 1972.

Please note: This is the Dutch edition of this publication.

"Reference works that offer a fascinating narrative that can be read cover to cover are rare. Modern Architecture is just such a book. A critical history by Kenneth Frampton, which is now available in Dutch."

– W.M. Lookman, Het Financiële Dagblad
