Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) was one of the most famous architects and designers of the twentieth century. Nearly everyone knows his red-blue chair and the Rietveld Schröder House, but not many people are aware of the full extent of his work. Renowned authors from the Netherlands and abroad describe Rietveld's world, the technology of his time and the interaction between his work and that of contemporaries such as Piet Mondriaan, Theo Van Doesburg, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Due attention is also paid to the relevance of Rietveld's work today. The sum total is a new picture of Rietveld's unique contribution to 20th-century architecture and design.

"Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) is perhaps Holland's best-known architect. His Schröder House in Utrecht from 1924 has achieved iconic status. In fact, Rietveld built around 100 houses, and of these very little is known. Photographer Arjan Bronkhorst (b. 1972), who established his credentials in 2013 with the bestseller Grachtenhuizen/Amsterdam Canal Houses, went in search of these unknown Rietveld houses. He photographed their interiors and residents, travelling as far as the United States. Light and space are what characterise Rietveld's houses. Sobriety is a basic principle in his designs. Only appreciated by a small group of intellectual clients who commissioned Rietveld to design an avant-garde house. Authors Willemijn Zwikstra and Marc van den Eerenbeemt explored the archives and interviewed current residents about living in a Rietveld house. As Rietveld expert Ida van Zijl notes in her introduction: it is high time for a new publication: a book that puts the resident first, just as Rietveld thought a house as a setting for life."--Page 4 de la couverture.

"A Genealogy of Modern Architecture" is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected. Richly illustrated, "A Genealogy of Modern Architecture" is a new standard work in architectural education.
