Architecture Today

With the collapse of Modernism in the 1960s, architecture has fragmented and evolved in many different directions, each driven by its own ideologies and theories. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the prominent styles and movements. Free from the jargon that characterizes much architectural criticism, it is essential reading for all those interested in architecture, the visual arts and modern culture.

‘As a beginner’s guide to the trends of the last 25 years, Architecture Today is invaluable. Accessible text and a preponderance of colour pictures go a long way toward doing for architecture what Gombrich did for art.’
