Twentieth-century architecture : a visual history
Dennis Sharp (Author)
"The introduction sets the scene in a valuable overview that looks back to the engineering achievements of the nineteenth century, to the architect's technical inheritance and the aesthetic problems that have preoccupied architects and theorists of this century. Each decade is prefaced by a short introduction, which evaluates and places in perspective the developments within those years. In addition to the chapters on decades, the book provides a useful and fascinating chronology of buildings erected between 1900 and 1990."--BOOK JACKET
