tailieunhanh - Behind the Postmodern Facade: Architectural Change in Late Twentieth-Century America

Born amidst the furious social changes of the mid-1960s, postmodern architecture redefined the purposes of a prestigious profession. In this work, Magali Sarfatti Larson gives a bold and comprehensive account of the social, economic, and ideological shifts that cracked the modernist dogma and reintroduced historical allusion, diversity, and ornament into architectural discourse and practice. She connects the socioeconomic realities of postindustrial America to the specific architects who shape the space around us in an arena where practical constraints - such as the organization of firms, clients, and commissions - determine what can be built | cover cover next page MAtWlJ SaRWCFTI I ARSilH title author publisher isbn10 asin print isbn13 ebook isbn13 language subject publication date lcc ddc subject cover next page file E - 20 CD E0 F8 E8 20 EF F3 E1 EB _42062 files 22 00 36 page_iii previous page page_iii next page Page iii Behind the Postmodern Facade Architectural Change in Late Twentieth-Century America Magali Sarfatti Larson UN I TRS rrY OFC A LIFO R i A IJ R E ss Heritfiry Lữnắữĩĩ previous page page_iii next page file E - 20 CD E0 F8 E8 20 EF F3 E1 EB _42062 files 22 00 37 page_iv previous page page_iv next page Page iv University of California Press Berkeley and Los Angeles California University of California Press Ltd.
