ABSTRACT

For more information including the introduction, a full list of entries and contributors, a generous selection of sample pages and more, visit the
Encyclope dia of 20th Century Architecture website.

Focusing on architecture from all regions of the world, this three-volume set profiles the twentieth century's vast chronicle of architectural achievements, both within and well beyond the theoretical confines of modernism. Unlike existing works, this encyclopedia examines the complexities of rapidly changing global conditions that have dispersed modern architectural types, movements, styles, and building practices across traditional geographic and cultural boundaries.
