Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing light wear and a few unobtrusive flaws. The DJ shows only the mildest rubbing; the price is unclipped; mylar-protected. Close to "As New". NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Folio. (12.5 x 9.35 x 1.5 inches). 304 pages. Profusely illustrated in Color and Black & White. Endpaper Timelines. Language: English. Weight: 4 pounds, 9.5 ounces. Hardback with DJ. This is the first book to survey in pictures and descriptive text every significant building completed between 1900 and 1970, encompassing the dramatic and fundamental changes brought about in every branch of architecture by the use of new materials and technology, new ideas and new ways of living. More than 1,000 photographs and drawings make this volume the most complete pictorial reference in existence on the development of contemporary architectural styles.
