Publisher Synopsis
"Payne has written a fascinating book on the development of modern architecture and architectural modernism...Highly recommended."-Choice * Choice * "Important, timely, and original. This book proposes a major revision of the historiography of Modernism, a rethinking of the way ornament has been theorized, and a theory of the architectural object. . . . This will be one of the most important books about ornament, architectural aesthetics, and Modernism to have been written in the past decade or two."-Caroline van Eck, Leiden University -- Caroline van Eck "Exceptionally intelligent. . . . From Ornament to Object construes 19th- and early-20th-century architecture in a novel, convincing, and eminently fascinating manner, shedding new light on modern architectural thinking and practice along the way."-Mari Hvattum, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design -- Mari Hvattum Read more...
