This book charts the history of modernism and its resurgence as an influential force that is cutting across disciplines to affect the international design world and the built environment. It captures the new mood of today's modernism in a series of thought-provoking essays that cover the fertile ground between architecture, fashion, and politics, while also embracing a broad cross-section of influential architects, from Le Corbusier to Rem Koolhaas.

<p>"Her life's journey begins with the new century in a small Siberian village. Polina expects a life of happiness when the village matchmaker provides her with a handsome young Cossack as her husband, but with the Revolution encroaching, peace is short-lived. During a snowstorm, Polina, her husband and young child cross a frozen river patrolled by the Red Army to the relative safety of Manchuria. After returning to the Russian border, her husband is killed in front of her during a massacre by the Red Army.... Polina settles into a life of peace but China is invaded, and all is lost. Polina's journey begins again."--Dust jacket.</p>
