ArchitectureWeek Description In the first edition of this classic work, Charles Jencks demonstrated that modern architecture in the 1960s and 70s had undergone a mutation into three major approaches — post-modernism, late modernism and new modernism, with oscillations between these and traditional approaches. This new edition brings his thinking up to date with additional material that suggests the direction theory is taking into the 21st century. Amazon Customer Average Rating:  Some Related Books...
