What We're Reading: Ornament is Crime by Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill
Written by The Modern House co-founders Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill, Phaidon’s new title on modernist architecture, ‘Ornament is Crime’, is now available for pre-order ahead of its release date on the 19 June 2017.
The book offers a celebration and thought-provoking reappraisal of modernist architecture, proposing that it no longer needs to be confined by traditional definitions. It examines iconic works by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius alongside some of the best contemporary architects of the twenty-first century, arguing for a continuous progression of the movement from its roots through to the present day.
These development shots, taken in Phaidon’s Light Room, offer a first glimpse of the book in production.
