Modern Architecture: A Critical History. Liquor License For Sale In Hackensack Nj Fire.

Prefaced by a synoptic note, with a highly concentrated exposition of the history of modern architecture, and building on his reading of Arendt’s The Human Condition, the book seeks the meaning of architecture in the tectonic — the way it is built — in more than just the spaces it affords and the images that it projects. Frampton shares the history of his ideas on tectonics and the fragility of the modern project in today’s neoliberal climate. About Kenneth Frampton Kenneth Frampton is the Ware Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University and a leading voice in the history of modernist architecture. In the 1970s, he was instrumental in the development of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York and a co-founding editor of its magazine Oppositions. His essay ‘Towards a Critical Regionalism’ of 1983 was seminal in defining architectural thought throughout the 1980s, and his Modern Architecture: A Critical History (1980; revised 1985, and 2007) and Studies in Tectonic Culture ( ) are cornerstones of his work.
