520 _aColin St John Wilson The Other Tradition of Modern Architecture The Uncompleted Project In the revision of theories of modern architecture, the research of Professor Colin St John Wilson into the underlying themes of the influential leaders of modern design in Europe has opened new discourse. In this book Wilson has consolidated such new evidence into a comprehensive argument for 'the other tradition of modernism'. Optimistically, he qualifies the considerable body of work by these pioneers of the modern as 'the incomplete project'. The message is that the canons of the period, once revised and adapted, extend through the work of new generations of architects into the next century. Professor Wilson's book opens new frontiers while abandoning those which have become obsolete in terms of the continuing tradition of the modern, and will be certain to inspire a new generation of architects and students alike.
