Description for Re-Framing Identities: Architecture´s Turn to History, 1970-1990
Paperback. As a reaction to rationalism and functionalist Moderne, the post-modern style developed in the 1970s; the idea was that architecture was to acquire a new identity by employing traditional means. This book analyzes discrepancies in architectural theory and the processes that led to a revaluation in the history of architectural production. Editor(s): Moravanszky, Akos; Lange, Torsten; Hopfengartner, Judith; Kegler, Karl. Num Pages: 336 pages, 145 colour illustrations, 145 farb. Abb. BIC Classification: 1D; 3JJP; AMX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 168 x 248 x 23. Weight in Grams: 822.
