**Description:**

Modern architecture has become increasingly complex, making its study challenging due to shifting trends and a multitude of design styles. In this book, Geoffrey Baker presents a methodology for design analysis that unveils the underlying organization of buildings.

**Part One** explores the nature and role of architecture through a comprehensive discussion encompassing geometry to symbolism. **Part Two** demonstrates the analytical methodology by examining cities and works by renowned modern architects such as Aalto, Meier, and Stirling.

This second revised edition includes a new chapter exploring the connection between contemporary perspectives on science, art, and philosophy, and their impact on architecture.
