Architecture and Design in Europe and America, 1750-2000 is an unprecedented teaching anthology that surveys the history of European and American architecture and design using both historical and contemporary sources.

* Brings together the best scholarship on the subject, creating a new canon for teaching purposes by introducing a thematic approach.

* Covers three major periods, from 1750-1830, from 1830-1910, and from 1910-2000, with substantial introductions by the editors.

* Pairs primary documents with well-known historiographical essays - along with some key but under-represented works.

"As the first post-structuralist anthology on modern architecture, this compendium embraces feminist, post-colonial, and other historiographical critiques. Its careful selection of primary and secondary sources encourages reflection on the ways architectural history has been constructed." Nancy Stieber, University of Massachusetts Boston
