This book focuses on the first edition of Kenneth Frampton' s Modern Architecture: A Critical History, published in 1980. It searches for clues and positions that will provide the reader with an unprecedented insight into the significance of Frampton' s historiography of modern architecture. It explores selected themes in line with Frampton' s many-faceted contribution, certain aspects of which can be noted between the lines of his ongoing criticism of the present-day architecture, which inevitably lead us to a critical understanding of the past, the modernity of architecture' s contemporaneity. The compiled chapters attempt to open a window onto the constellation of themes that allowed Frampton to hold on to his anteroom view of history even amidst the flow of time and flood of temporalities spanning 1980-2020. The book elucidates how Frampton' s critical presentation of the history of modern movement architecture and the book' s classificatory mode (periodization? ) contribute to our understanding of the contemporaneity of architecture today.
Gevork Hartoonian is a professor of the history of architecture at the University of Canberra, Australia.
