Since its first edition in 1980, Kenneth Frampton's 'Modern Architecture: A Critical History' has become an essential classic in the academic bibliography on the history of modern architecture. In this fifth, extensively revised and updated edition, the author has added a new and comprehensive section that explores in detail the evolution of the Modern Movement in architecture worldwide from the late 20th to the early 21st century. It examines the various ways in which architects not only respond to geographical, climatic, material, and cultural contexts, but also follow distinct lines of approach regarding topography, morphology, sustainability, and civic form.
