Modern Architecture: A Critical History

In Modern Architecture: A Critical History, Kenneth Frampton presents a dense and detailed survey of modern architecture. Frampton divides his book into three parts; the history behind modern architecture, a critical history of modern architecture from 1836-1967, and a critical assessment and extension into the present day. The majority of the book focuses on the critical history of modern architecture from 1836-1967. In this section, Frampton explores modern architecture around the globe. He divides this section, and the other two as well, into short chapters that introduce and explore particular architects or movements.
