Hitchcock'sArchitecture: 19th and 20th Centuries.Yet his particular interpretation of problems and issues makes his work peculiarly his own. Very well illustrated...."—Choice"This is the first English translation of a notable history of modern architecture by one of Italy's foremost teacher-architects....
