This ambitious volume brings together the best scholarship on the subject - as it has been taught, thought, and talked about in academic and architectural circles - yet it also reconfigures the canon for teaching purposes by introducing a thematic approach. <br /> <p>The book covers three major periods - 1750-1830, 1830-1910, and 1910-2000 - with substantial introductions to each section by the editors. Pairing primary documents with well-known historiographical essays, along with some key but underrepresented works, this book will be especially welcomed by those studying architectural history at the undergraduate level.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As the first post-structuralist anthology on modern architecture, this compendium embraces feminist, post-colonial, and other historiographical critiques.
