Local manifestations of modernism emerged that sought to \u003cbr\u003ereconcile universal aspirations with specific social conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis\u003cbr\u003e volume critically examines this architectural and ideological heritage \u003cbr\u003eand argues for the preservation and redevelopment of these particular \u003cbr\u003earchitectures, which are at risk of disappearing amid the rapid \u003cbr\u003eurbanization of today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arch+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3035624534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783035624533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.65h x 9.21w x 0.55d","brand":"Arch+","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046876901631,"sku":"9783035624533","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_363de3c0-710f-4be2-b7e0-e251b7acb6ff.jpg?v=1684986998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contested-modernities-arch-9783035624533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
