An updated edition of this classic title on the origins of 20th-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts
See InsideThe turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, leading to the emergence of two contrasting styles: Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Nikolaus Pevsner brings clarity to this period of dynamic change by tracing the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.
Featuring a new foreword by the distinguished architectural historian Kenneth Frampton, this classic title has now been updated with colour illustrations throughout.
'No one but Pevsner could have packed so much information into so compact a work or illustrated it more effectively'
