Lu.  a, Londonb: Routledgec, 2011.  axi,292p.c: 24cm.  b3464  aThis set of essays brings together studies that challenge interpretations of the development of modernist architecture in Third World countries during the Cold War. The topics look at modernism’s part in the transnational development of building technologies and the construction of national and cultural identity. Architectural modernism is far more than another instance of Western expansionist aspirations; it has been developed in cross-cultural spaces and variously localized into nation-building programs and social welfare projects.

The first volume to address countries right across the developing world, this book has a key place in the historiography of modern architecture, dealing with non-Western traditions.  amodernist architecture  aCold War  aArchitectural modernism  aDuanfang Lu
