An updated edition of this classic study of the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.

The late 19th century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, leading to the emergence of two contrasting styles: the Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Nikolaus Pevsner brings clarity to this period of dynamic change by tracing the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.

With a new foreword by distinguished architectural historian Kenneth Frampton, The Sources of Modern Architecture and Design has been updated with colour illustrations throughout.
