Programs and Manifestos on 20th Century Architecture (Programs and Manifestoes on 20th-Century Architecture)
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This anthology gathers the declarations that modern architects issued to explain what they believed building should achieve. Many of the twentieth century's leading designers held strong views on the philosophical and social purposes of their craft, and the movement often began with a written program or manifesto. Arranged chronologically from 1903 to 1963, the documents trace a subjective history of modern architecture, and their contrasts reveal the differing temperaments that shaped very different styles. The selection spans the spectrum from rigid, rule-bound programs to radical calls for an end to conventional form. Contributors come from many countries, and the editor supplies context for each piece. Most texts appear complete, since brevity suits the manifesto form.
