Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines modern architecture's lack of progress compared to other contemporary artistic mediums. The author traces how the architectural revival of antiquarianism has led to a lack of innovation and expression regarding modern needs and styles. Exploring the contrast between current European and American architecture, the author criticizes the dominance of the French Beaux-Arts style, arguing that an over-reliance on classical forms stifles creativity. Nineteenth-century literary and artistic developments are explored to demonstrate how other disciplines successfully departed from traditional forms and found new modes of expression. The book concludes by examining how the imposition of Beaux-Arts training on American architects created a generation of designers unable to transcend historical styles and embrace genuinely modern architectural expression.
