Description
Advancing a Different Modernism analyzes a long-ignored but formative aspect of modern architecture and art.
By examining selective buildings by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner (1850-1923) and by the Slovenian designer Jože Plecnik (1872-1957), the book reveals the fundamental political and ideological conservatism that helped shape modernism’s history and purpose.
This study thus revises the dominant view of modernism as a union of progressive forms and progressive politics.
Instead, this innovative volume promotes a nuanced and critical consideration of how architecture was creatively employed to advance radically new forms and methods, while simultaneously consolidating an essentially conservative nationalist self-image.
