Description
"The volume's broad geographic scope and inventive exploration of diverse vernacular expressions will convince readers that modernization and modernism were far more open-ended and heterogeneous than previously acknowledged."--H-Net Reviews
"This collection of essays imaginatively and with great insight discusses the various vernaculars within modernist architectural practice, thereby altering our understanding of modernism's relationship to the past, its uses of memory, and its embeddedness in historically and geographically specific contexts." --Andreas Huyssen, Columbia University
