Ornament is Crime: Modernist Architecture

Ornament Is Crime is a celebration and
a thought-provoking reappraisal of modernist
architecture. The book proposes that
modernism need no longer be confined
by traditional definitions, and can be seen in
both the iconic works of the modernist canon
by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter
Gropius, as well as in the work of some of the
best contemporary architects of the twenty-first
century. This book is a visual manifesto and
a celebration of the most important architectural
movement in modern history.
