In this synthetic overview, Harry Mallgrave examines architectural discourse within its social and political context. He explores the philosophical and conceptual evolution of its ideas, discusses the relation of theory to the practice of building, and, most importantly, considers the words of the architects themselves, as they contentiously shaped Western architecture. He also examines the compelling currents of French rationalist and British empiricist thought, radical reformation of the theory during the Enlightenment, the intellectual ambitions and historicist debates of the nineteenth century, and the distinctive varieties of modern theory in the twentieth century up to the profound social upheaval of the 1960s. Modern Architectural Theory challenges many assumptions about architectural modernism and uncovers many new dimensions of the debates about modernism. 606 $aArchitecture$xPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture, Modern 615 0$aArchitecture$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture, Modern. 676 $a720/.1 700 $aMallgrave$b Harry Francis$0521588 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784426103321 996 $aModern architectural theory$93695260 997 $aUNINA
