书籍介绍
Explains what revivalism, rationalism, eclecticism, and functionalism meant to those who practiced them, explores the influence of the other arts and sciences on architectual theory, and analyzes notions that are commonly used in discussions about modern architecture.

for every reason this is a seminal work, for its erudition, its logical way of statement, its fair judgement(the author explicitly promotes stractural rationalist and functionalism, as well as the attention to the environment, but this doesn't inhibit his insight), and especially for its inspiration for the coming theorists
