Book Description:
In this book of the world's greatest architects explores the original aims and principles of modern architecture. Where the postmodern critique is often a retreat into the past, Colin St. John Wilson argues that a renewal of the humanist basis of modern architecture is the only sound approach to the future. The essays explore the philosophical and ethical basis of architecture, 'the other tradition of modernism,' the work of Aalto, Scharoun, Lewerentz, Asplund, and Rietveld, the rise and decline of postmodernism, and a case study of Waterhouse's Law Courts, the most complex of all urban projects.
