By examining selective buildings by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner (1850-1923) and by the Slovenian designer Joze Plecnik (1872-1957), the book reveals the fundamental political and ideological conservatism that helped shape modernism's history and purpose. This study thus revises the dominant view of modernism as a union of progressive forms and progressive politics. Instead, this innovative volume promotes a nuanced and critical consideration of how architecture was creatively employed to advance radically new forms and methods, while simultaneously consolidating an essentially conservative nationalist self-image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51186653626591,"sku":"9781032178882","price":56.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/h4UTGRGWCM9781032178882.webp?v=1786391526"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/s-a-mansbach.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
