4970X1 First Edition. This is Number Three in Studies in Architecture and Culture Series. Texas A & M University Press, College Station: 1997. 190 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. Explores how major postfunctionalist architecture has addressed themes in postmodern culture, and in so doing argues that it is an architecture that should be viewed as historical - the gestalt of social/cultural phenomena - and not merely the product of various stylistic choices. In presenting a critical position that favors the tectonic over the aesthetic in treating the development of postmodern architecture, Hartoonian undermines the dominant "isms" in architectural discourse. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0890967296 $45.50USD
