Contents: 1.
The significance of this book in terms of an understanding of culture, the avant-garde and the subsequent development of modernist Architecture is hard to overestimate.
The author\'s understanding of global economic and cultural processes is evident in his description of the development of a Style that came to define the nature of Architecture in the twentieth century, which today we call modernism.
The response was an innovative approach to Architecture that put people - their needs and functions - at its center.
After two industrial revolutions, architects were faced with new challenges by society.
Ginzburg defined the new Style in Architecture that signified a break from traditional styles.
