Summary: From the back of the book - " This book fills a long- felt need by providing a sound readable and balanced overall view of the history of modern architecture. Dr. Curtis examines the origins of the modern tradition in the late nineteenth-century, and sets its development in a broad context that includes changing social and technical conditions. Within this framework he emphasizes the variety of personal and regional strands within modern architecture. In developing his central theme of the growth of a modern tradition the author adopts an integrated approach that blends the practical, aesthetic and social dimensions - yet the stress is on the formal and symbolic aspects of the art."
