Description
Appears unread. No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked cream cloth boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with very minor creasing to upper edge and spine foot. 551pp. A devastating critique of the Moderm Movement in architecture by one of our most eminent architectural historians - from the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier, through destructive Modernism-inspired urban planning of the post-war years. The author questions how increasingly unequal and dysfunctional societies have been affected by self-serving, self-appointed elites hell-bent on creating an alienating empathy-less Dystopia.
