Everyone knows what modern architecture looks like but few understand how this revolutionary new form of building emerged little more than a century ago or what its aesthetic social even spiritual aspirations were Through illuminating studies of the leading men and women who forever changed our built environment veteran architecture critic Martin Filler offers fresh insights into this unprecedented cultural transformation From Louis Sullivan father of the skyscraper to Frank Gehry magician of postmillennial museum Filler emphasizes how their force of personality has had a decisive effect on everything from how we inhabit our homes to how we shape our citiesWhy was the sudden shift in architectural fashion that wrecked the career of the Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh not enough to destroy the indomitable spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright who rose from adversity to become Americas greatest architect Why was Philip Johnson dean of American architecture during the 1980s so haunted by the superior talent of this lessfortunate contemporary Louis Kahn that he could barely utter his name even at the peak of his own success How did Ludwig Mies van der Rohes dictum Less is more give way to Robert Venturis Less is a boreSurveying such current urban design sagas as the reconstruction of Ground Zero and the reunification of Berlin Filler also trains his sharp eye on some of the biggest names in architecture today puncturing more than one overinflated reputation while identifying the true masters who are now building for the ages
