Review: Great customer service
Review: Ridiculously good - This is the best survey/textbook level treatment of any subject that I have ever seen. Curtis strikes a great balance between writing a good general survey and having a strong point of view. It makes me hope for a new edition just to have the author’s take on more recent developments. The truly global coverage, the choice of illustrations, the connections drawn across works and eras, it’s just ridiculously good and far better than anything else available. Curtis has more than encyclopedic knowledge; he “gets” architecture. He doesn’t seem able to write anything pedestrian or uninteresting. Buy this if you’re interested at all in architecture or buy it for someone who is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and Well-Written
*by R***S on April 29, 2011*

This book is incredible. It is the most definitive statement on Modern Architecture out there. It seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of modernist construction and aesthetic without oversimplifying or categorizing the work of individual artist/architects and specific locales into sweeping, generalizable trends. It fully succeeds. Curtis is balanced and nuanced in his critical analysis of the buildings presented. His dense prose is intelligent and insightful. The photographs are beautifully composed and complement the text. I highly recommend this book.
