The Vision of a New Architecture, Second Edition
Provides a thorough history of the nineteenth century material and goes on to examine the theories on its architectural expression, focussing on determining role of the reinforced concrete frame. This title provides the rational and effective expression of classical principles in modern construction.
Concrete, Peter Collins's first book, is an avowedly polemical and controversial combination of two studies: the origins and evolution of reinforced concrete and the life and work of the seminal French architect, Auguste Perret.
