Modern Architecture Since 1900 William J. R. Curtis This book is now well established as the standard work on 20th century architectur
Much has been written over the years, including Sigfried Giedion's seminal work, Space Time and Architecture, which sought to give Modern Architecture its proper perspective. Mr. Curtis seems greatly beholden to Giedion, especially in his interpretations of Le Corbusier, which comprise a sizeable chunk of this volu Mr. Curtis downplays the polemics and focuses more on the individual contributions of an incredibly broad range of architects from the early 19th century to the present Wonderful chapters encapsulate the various movements such as his piece on the Revolutionary Architecture of Russia, and how these ideas filtered through the various European architectural movements. He also covers the diaspora of Russian avant-garde architects, in subsequent chapters, to Germany, England, Israel and the United States and the tremendous impact they had in these countries. However, the main focus is the way in which Modern architecture was constantly being reshaped into a regional architecture, highlighting such major figures as Alvar Aalto, Luis Barrigan, and Oscar Niemeyer, all of whom owed some debt to Le Corbusier. This is a very even-handed account, perhaps too even-handed at times. It is a most valuable resource for anyone interesting in Modern architecture and the many forms and variations that it has taken over the 20th century.31999-03-12A good book ! A good price for a book that all architecture students should have.101998-07-30Exhausting rather than exhaustiveThis is the 3rd edition of this book, and Curtis has certainly expanded his knowledge, to encompass areas of the world not covered in previous editions. In all fairness this is a useful primer for undergraduate students (though one is fearful that they will cling to Curtis's stereotypes), and the book is worth buying just for the chapters on Le Corbusier alone - Curtis being without doubt a major authority on Le Corbusier.

Modern Architecture became linked to a certain genre of building and thus over time wasn't really 'modern' anymore. Thus Modern Houses (or Modernist Houses) suggests a certain style, not simply a 'contemporary' or 'current' construction.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there was no concerted movement aimed at creating a new style of building appropriate for the modern world, but rather various strands of thought and practice in different places. In England, for example, several architects of the time designed country houses that drew on vernacular tradition and made their impact through solid dignity of form and material, virtually eschewing all ornament.
Origins Some historians see the evolution of Modern architecture as a social matter, closely tied to the project of Modernity and thus the Enlightenment . The Modern style developed, in their opinion, as a result of social and political revolutions.
