CHOICE Review
The fifth edition of Frampton's Modern Architecture has been substantially expanded since the 2007 edition: 311 pages have been added and the book comprises four parts (rather than three) and 41 chapters (up from 37). Parts 1 and 2 cover Western architectural history from 1750 to the 1960s. In the new edition, the former third part becomes two parts--"Critical Transformations, 1925--90" and "World Architecture and the Modern Movement." The latter includes chapters dedicated to the impact of the modern movement across all of the world's principal geographical regions (Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe), with individual chapters on each country (the Soviet Union is conspicuously absent). Teeming with Frampton's keen critical insights and including 813 illustrations and 22 pages of bibliography, this will be an indispensable resource for the study of modern architecture well into the future. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers. --Jack Quinan, emeritus, independent scholarAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
