In light of the multitude of meanings this term can have the present volume shows a broad spectrum of Modernism with its technical and constructive as well as formal and aesthetic innovations in the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century, marked by the great names of architecture, from Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe to Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid.
