This second part continues to analyze the works of exponents of modern architecture. It confronts the words and works of those architects and searches in them resonances and contradictions. Ultimately, what it is searching for is for a way to architecture to establish a better dialogue with contemporary constructions practices. The author show a great erudition and understanding both of the tenets of modern architecture and the practices of construction and detailing. Overall, an important book to read.
