Modern Movements in Architecture by Charles Jencks
This introduction to modern architecture, from 1920 to the present, includes a section on late- and post-modernism. The book describes a critical point in the history of modern architecture.
Charles Jencks was the first to demonstrate that Modern architecture in the 1960s and 1970s had undergone a profound mutation into three major approaches - Post-Modernism, Late Modernism and New Modernism. He has shown how our pluralist age has oscillated between these and traditional approaches in his key books: The Language of Post-Modern Architecture (sixth edition, 1991), Architecture Today (third edition, 1994), and The New Moderns (1990), all published by Academy.
