"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, "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, "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, "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, "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, "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, "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, " 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

Synopsis
"Vernacular Modernism" challenges the common perception of modern architecture as the example of an internationalism which eradicates local traditions and transforms the globe into a faceless urban sprawl. The essays trace the vernacular in some of modernity' s most paradigmatic sites-- both real and imagined. They engage in a search for an idiom that mediates between place and space, the vernacular and the abstract in architecture, from its early phase and Hermann Muthesius via LeCorbusier' s high modernism, to the contemporary movement of a " critical regionalism.", Vernacular Modernism advocates a rethinking of the importance of the vernacular as part of the modernist discourse of place, from art to literature, from architectural to social practice., "Vernacular Modernism" advocates a rethinking of the importance of the vernacular as part of the modernist discourse of place, from art to literature, from architectural to social practice., Vernacular Modernism challenges the common perception of modern architecture as the example of an internationalism which eradicates local traditions and transforms the globe into a faceless urban sprawl.

- _***s (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWhen I'd originally placed this order, I had accidentally put in the wrong shipping address. However, the seller was more than helpful, and the CD arrived!! The packaging was wide open when it arrived, but luckily nothing was damaged. Additionally, there was nothing protective on the CD, so that open package made me feel kind of nervous. Otherwise, absolutely great! The customer service was awesome, and the product was as described.
- r***w (229)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!
- e***r (331)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough I received the incorrect book with my order (that had a title close to what I had ordered), AlibrisBooks apologized, said they could not re-send the book, and refunded my money and told me to keep the book that I had received, and either donate it or give it away, so I gave it to someone. That was very kind on their part to do that, and I would highly recommend them. Mistakes happen I get that.
