Following on from the first Modern Architecture Through Case Studies book, this second installment from Peter Blundell Jones and Eamonn Canniffe will be of great value to anyone with an interest in the recent history of architecture.
Once again, new interpretations are presented of some of the most famous architecture of the period. Work by lesser-known architects, whose influence and role have been overlooked by conventional histories of the subject, is also considered. The case study structure allows each example to be examined and used as a springboard to explore different theoretical approaches.
Filled with photographs, plans and architect's drawings, this is a clear and accessible discussion on the post-war years and a second generation of modern architects - subjects that continue to stimulate debate in architecture today.
