By critically reviewing the main stages of development over time--as well as the intense debates of architectural historians, architects, and contemporary scholars--through the thesis of modernity as tradition, research, and criticism, a concept of contradiction is supported. Further echoed by that of \"architecture tout court,\" enhancing the present environment in its current fragility of views--even more so today with the appearance of a virus capable of undermining our way of living. These are \"contemporary modernisms\" aimed at recovering the essence of a recent past to project it into the present, restoring to architecture that long-neglected role of critical construction and formation of society in an era, ultimately defined as \"of Rembrandt beauty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2979697\"\u003ePatrizia Mello\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oro Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954081901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954081901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ARC\"\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ARC001000\"\u003eCriticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ARC\"\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ARC005070\"\u003eHistory | Modern (Late 19th Century to 1945)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oro Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44540731687149,"sku":"9781954081901","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1d28b2c2-b8fb-466f-bc58-48d4749c8f4e.jpg?v=1701493356","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/twentieth-century-architecture-and-modernity-our-past-our-present-9781954081901","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
