The Sources of Modern Architecture and Design by Nikolaus Pevsner
The turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging--Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing--with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations--the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.
Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902–1983) is widely considered one of the most influential writers on the history of architecture in the 20th century. He is best known for his 46-volume series of county-by-county guides, The Buildings of England (1951–74), often simply referred to by his surname.
