ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost eVery subject area.
Considering the work of some of the historians and critics who helped to shape Modern architecture, he demonstrates how the field owes as much to its storytellers as to its buildings.
Focusing on a selection of Modern buildings that also symbolize bigger cultural ideas, Sharr discusses what Modern architecture was like, why it was like that, and how it was imagined.
While architects weren't responsible for these innovations, they were among the first to appreciate how they could make the world look and feel different, in connection with imagery from other spheres like Modern art and industrial design.
Adam Sharr shows how the invention of steel and reinforced concrete radically altered possibilities for shaping buildings, transforming what architects were able to imagine, as did new systems for air conditioning and lighting.
This Very Short Introduction explores the technical innovations that opened-up the cultural and intellectual opportunities for Modern architecture to happen.
At certain times and in certain cultures, it stood for the liberation of the future from the past.

Now that Modern architecture has become familiar (sometimes celebrated, sometimes vilified), it's hard to imagine how novel it once seemed.
