There are numerous reference works on the development of architecture in the twentieth century, but none of them presents the network-like connections and effects of those developments with the
astonishing concision of Architecture in the 20th Century - A Synopsis.
In an overview diagram, the various different movements, together with their associated major figures and structures, are visually situated in their historical and chronological context.
World-historical events, technological developments, important books on architectural theory, and significant trends in twentieth-century art are presented in secondary sections to enable the
user to better understand the relevant phenomena.
An accompanying booklet provides information for further study, including a brief introduction to the origins of modernity and its movements as well as a series of architecture projects that,
taken together, delineate an exemplary "influence history." Rounding out the product is a printed folder that holds the overview diagram and booklet.
