This book provides a comprehensive; critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. The first section provides a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960; and the second; a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors; but also charts a middle course between the aesthetic histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects; and the more ideological histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.

Thoughtful and originalBy Dennis CauchonAs writer Luc Santes introduction says; artist Richard McGuire gives personality to seemingly mundane everyday objects. The artist then puts these objects in a context -- a story; a comparison; etc. -- that is thought provoking; moving; amusing or several things at once.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
