KlappentextAs a reaction to rationalism and functionalist Moderne, the post-modern style developed in the 1970s; the idea was that architecture was to acquire a new identity by employing traditional means. This book analyzes discrepancies in architectural theory and the processes that led to a revaluation in the history of architectural production.
