About This Item
Cambridge: The Harvard University Press, 1967. Fifth. Hardcover. VG (spine tail crinkled. speckled foxing to textblock edges. dustjacket has edge-wear & scuffs; foxing to flap edges & interior; flap clipped). Grey cloth with black lettering. book lvi, 897 pp. 531 bw ills. glossy white dustjacket w/ multi-color illustration. A nice, bright copy; remains sharp. This book is based on lectures Giedion gave at Harvard 1938-39. It was often used in the training of architects all over the western world. The subtitle refers to Giedion's conviction that the modern movement was the logical outcome of what he saw as a linear historical development. To make his case he gives his version of the history of architecture, and a big portion deals with the industrial era and how new technologies changed architecture and society as a whole. In addition to expounding on architecture's history, he addresses key architects and their notable achievements.
