Modern Architectural Theory: A Historical Survey, 1673–1968

by Harry Francis Mallgrave

Harry Mallgrave's comprehensive survey of architectural theory, primarily in Europe and the United States, contextualizes architectural discourse within its social and political atmosphere over three centuries of development. He explores the philosophical and conceptual evolution of its ideas, the relation of theory to the practice of building, and, most importantly, the words of the architects themselves as they contentiously shaped their particular niche of Western civilization over time.

Read chapter 13 for project. I wish it would focused more on other regions like Eastern Europe or Asia and not just Western Europe and Japan.
