A New History of Modern Architecture

"I am always keen to read anything written by Colin Davies - he presents everything as if he and the reader are having a cheerful conversation about a subject by which they are both fascinated, and he shares his excitement by narrating history in a sequence of dazzling anecdotes - telling of the meetings, the arguments, the 'eureka-moments' - which were the foundations of Modern Architecture.

The amazingly well-researched illustrations are often a revelation - as are all his words.", Tom Heneghan, Professor of Architecture, Shibaura Institute of Technology, JapanA New History of Modern Architecture (paperback) combines a fascinating, thought-provoking and - above all - readable text with over 800 photographs, plans and sections, this exciting new reading of modern architecture is a must for students and architecture enthusiasts alike.Organised largely as a chronology, chapters necessarily overlap
