Modern

"The term "modern" can be used to describe places as diverse as Fallingwater, the Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece of 1936 and John Pawson's Calvin Klein store of the early nineties. Modernism encompasses many different styles, designed over a number of years--so what exactly is modern? Author Jonathan Glancey answers this question by, first, exploring every facet of the modern--from architecture to furniture to home design. In a Who's Who of modern design style, he then lists all of its greatest practitioners chronologically. From the Nouveau style of Gaudi to the classicism of Michael Graves, of the sub-styles that fall under the umbrella of "modern" are finally demystified. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
