Book Reviews of Modern Architecture: A Critical History (Fourth Edition) (World of Art)
Book Review: Frampton - the Bible for the History of Modern Architecture
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the Bible for the History of Modern Architecture. I lived with this book in graduate school during the '80's, and is still relevant, important and has been up-dated to address the last 30 years of Architectural ideology and design.
A must have for students and any professional interested in a critical historical perspective. It is also a great read.

This acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980. For the fourth edition Kenneth Frampton has added a major new section that explores the effects of globalization on architecture in recent years and examines the phenomenon of international celebrity architects who are increasingly active all over the world. The bibliography has been updated and expanded, making this volume more complete and indispensable than ever. 420 illustrationsArchitecture Books
