The work of the main architects of the movement such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe is re-examined shedding new light on their roles as acknowledged masters. Alan Colquhoun explores the evolution of the movement from Art Nouveau in the 1890's to the megastructures of the 1960's, revealing the often contradictory demands of form, function, social engagement, modernity and tradition. 410 0$aOxford history of art. 606 $aArchitecture, Modern$y20th century 615 0$aArchitecture, Modern 676 $a724.6 676 $a724.6 700 $aColquhoun$b Alan$f1921-2012.$031002 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967028603321 996 $aModern architecture$93827645 997 $aUNINA
