In this incisive study of the modern movement a practising American architect argues forcefully that modernism is rooted in outmoded and questionable ninteenth-century principles, moulded by the forces of political and economic development. With examples of modern and traditional vernacular architecture from around the world. Brolin details the sterility and inhospatility of modern buildings. For relief from this he suggests a greater use of our past and present visual resources, and calls for an architecture in which buildings are servants, rather than masters, of their surroundings and their users' lives.
