The Failure of Modern Architecture

The Failure of Modern Architecture by Brent C. Brolin (Studio Vista 1976) is a polemical analysis of the crisis of modernist architectural design.

Time has not been kind to twentieth-century architecture. In this incisive study of the modern movement a practising American architect argues forcefully that modernism is rooted in outmoded and questionable nineteenth-century principles, moulded by the forces of political and economic development.
