Wholesale Modernity Unbound: Architecture Words 7

This book is a series of texts and essays by architects, critics, and scholars that addresses the pervasive image-driven culture of contemporary architectural culture. This book uses direct language, concise editing, and beautiful graphic design to captivate. Author Detlef Mertins’s critical voice is highlighted, renewing our understanding of architectural modernity. Mertins’s essays explore key modernist tropes like transparency, glass architecture, organicism, life and event, sameness and difference. Previously published in various venues, these essays are now assembled for the first time in this volume. (This remainder book doesn't contain a sharpie mark but shows signs of shelfwear.)
