Synopsis
In Modern Architecture, prominent historian Vincent Scully, traces the major developments in 20th Century architecture. With sharp insight, Scully examines architecture's evolution, historical context, and its meaning in modern life.

Khan, and Robert Venturi. 190 b/w illustrations."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

From the Back Cover
This revised edition of the important work published in 1961 offers an opportunity to focus on the major new developments in architecture in the last twelve years, and in the light of those events, to revise and enlarge the view of modern architectural history as a whole which the original text presented. Unlike the earlier edition, the revision devotes considerable attention to city planning.
