Modern Architecture (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807603345)

From Louis Sullivan's first successful attempts to give steel construction its own form and expression, to city planning, contemporary megastructures, public housing, and the Mobile Home, Vincent Scully examines the significant aspects of modern architecture.

Khan, and Robert Venturi. 190 b/w illustrations.
