It contains a wealth of new information on the construction of modern architecture at a variety of scales from minute details to general principles. There are over 500 illustrations  including 130 original photographs and 230 original axonometric drawings  arranged to explain the technical  aesthetic  and historical aspects of the building form. Most of the modern movements in architecture have identified some paradigm of good construction  arguing that buildings should be built like Gothic cathedrals  like airplanes  like automobiles  like ships  or like primitive dwellings. Ford examines the degree to which these models were followed  either in spirit or in form  and reveals much about both the theories and techniques of modern architecture  including the extent to which the current constructional theories of High Tech and Deconstruction are dependent on the traditional modernist paradigms  as well as the ways in which all of these theories differ from the realities of modern building. Individual chapters treat the work of Eliel and Eero Saarinen  Eric Gunnar Asplund  Richard Neutra  Alvar Aalto  Le Corbusier  and Louis Kahn  as well as the Case Study  High Tech  Postmodern  and Deconstructivist architects. Among the individual buildings documented are Eliel Saarinens Cranbrook School  Asplunds Woodland Cemetery  Fullers Dymaxion house  the Venturi house  the Eames and other Case Study houses  the concrete buildings of Le Corbusier  Aaltos Saynatsalo Town Hall  and Kahns Exeter Library and Salk Institutewith many details published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974283161653,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262562022","price":316.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262562027.jpg?v=1770652199","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-details-of-modern-architecture-volume-2-1928-to-1988","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
