N1  -  This new account of international modernism explores the complex motivations behind this revolutionary movement and assesses its triumphs and failures-- 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 1890s to the mega structures of the 1960s,-- revealing the often contradictory demands of form,-- function,-- social engagement,-- modernity and tradition.--
