Modernity Overcome

This collection of essays offers a reflection on the concepts that have underpinned the evolution and crisis of modern architecture. Through nine texts, Josep Maria Montaner addresses some of the key constants of the modern movement—such as rationalism, the disruptive attitude, or the will for expressivity—to reveal how the shortcomings of modernity have been overcome, especially in the Nordic countries, Mediterranean Europe, Latin America, and other peripheral contexts.

With this new revised and updated edition, it is confirmed that La modernidad superada has become a key reference work for understanding the modern movement in architecture.
