The definitive history of modern architecture. Modern Architecture: A Critical History by Kenneth Frampton has been a foundational classic since its first publication in 1980 — and the fifth edition arrives extensively revised, redesigned, and updated for the present moment.

Frampton begins with the cultural developments since 1750 that gave rise to the modern movement, traces the creation of modern architecture itself, and examines the effects of globalization and the rise of the international celebrity architect. New chapters explore the ongoing modernist tradition alongside the urgent contemporary need to build sustainably and design structures resilient to changing climates. A genuinely indispensable volume for students, practitioners, and serious readers alike.

The discipline, defined.
