Frankreich 20. Jahrhundert | France 20th century

A sweeping guide to the grea­test -and latest- ex­am­ples of 20th cen­tury ar­chi­tec­ture in France.

In the 20th cen­tury, France has pro­ved as­to­nis­hingly fer­tile ground for mo­dern ar­chi­tec­ture. The ar­chi­tec­tu­ral ideas of Mo­der­nism and the Avant­garde are firmly roo­ted here and do­mi­nate the French ar­chi­tec­tu­ral land­scape un­like in any other coun­try. Her ar­chi­tects are ac­clai­med throughout the world.

Paris, a centre for in­ter­na­tio­nal ar­chi­tec­ture, rightly forms the focus of this gui­de­book with more than 100 no­ta­ble buil­dings. Howe­ver, this guide book also does jus­tice to the ent­ire coun­try with al­to­ge­ther more than 450 buil­dings from all re­gi­ons. The buil­dings are do­cu­men­ted with pho­to­graphs, drawings and texts, pro­vi­ding a com­pre­hen­sive and por­ta­ble guide.
