About this title

Synopsis

First published in 1960, Theory and Design in the First Machine Age has become required reading in numerous courses on the history of modern architecture and is widely regarded as one of the definitive books on the modern movement. It has influenced a generation of students and critics interested in the formation of attitudes, themes, and forms which were characteristic of artists and architects working primarily in Europe between 1900 and 1930 under the compulsion of new technological developments in the first machine age.

From the Back Cover

One of the major keys to any discussion of the current state of architecture is Banham's important book, Theory and Design in the First Machine Age. It is a wonderful and perverse book..
