Förlagets beskrivning
Lewis Mumford and American Modernism examines the career and writings of
America's leading critic of architecture. The author of numerous books on the
history of architecture, Mumford focused on the roles that technology and
urbanism have played in modern civilisation. One of the first to write
appreciatively of the achievements of the Chicago school, he was also a fervent
supporter of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose buildings embodied the organic, rather
than technological, basis for modern architecture that Mumford strongly
advocated. Indeed, his writings have proved to be prescient, forming the basis
for architecture and urban planning at a time of transition and redefinition at
the end of the twentieth century. An examination of the career and writings of Lewis Mumford.
