Just Published - Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean
January 4th, 2010 — Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean: Vernacular Dialogues and Contested Identities brings to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region. The book considers architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. Edited by University of Miami School of Architecture Professor Jean-François Lejuene and University of Houston Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture Assistant Professor Michelangelo Sabatino, the essays situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism, nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism – an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century.
