Features: This book describes the profound changes that have occurred in the field of architecture and urban design over the past century. In the past one hundred and more years, the changes within the architectural field have been so rapid and complex as to be unprecedented. From the design theory of individual buildings to the planning of entire cities; the international style landscapes advocated by architectural masters; nationalist and totalitarian architecture; social engineering projects; urbanization; as well as architecture influenced by movements such as Art Nouveau, Cubism, Constructivism, and Futurism—all these changes, experiments, and fusions are discussed in this rich volume.
