Abstract

Abstract: Were ideas of beauty denied by modern architects, only to re‐emerge recently? Alan Powers, teacher of architectural history at the London School of Architecture, University of Westminster and New York University in London, looks at notions of beauty and its synonyms during the halcyon days of 20th‐century Modernism.
