The Sources of Modern Architecture and Design
Nikolaus Pevsner
|
| 'There is no more readable, more copiously illustrated survey of the period from the Crystal Palace to the Bauhaus' | | - The Sunday Telegraph |
| 'No one but Dr Pevsner could have packed so much information into so compact a work or illustrated it more effectively' | | – The Times Literary Supplement |
The turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging - Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing - with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations - the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.
