Author Jaimini Mehta moves architectural modernism from its primarily Eurocentric definition, interrogating the subject from the perspective on a non-western thought-world. Mehta groups his essays under three key themes: \"Rethinking Modernity\" explores the ideological underpinnings of the modernity\/modernism binary; \"The Idea of Architecture\" looks at a number of issues that constitute the timeless and the invariable aspects of architecture against which the prevalent modernist discourse can be critically evaluated; and \"On Praxis\" looks at three contemporary architects' work and the Vienna Secessionist movement between 1890 and 1918 to articulate a critique of the underpinnings of the modern movement. Providing a new view of the modern in architecture, this book is critical reading for architectural theorists and scholars of modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600561561838,"sku":"9781138690806","price":75.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/critiquing-the-modern-in-architecture-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
