It articulated the key elements of the International Style, such as volume over mass, regularity over symmetry, and the avoidance of applied decoration. It serves as both a historical document and a guidebook for architects and students. By cataloging the morphological and compositional elements of the new style, it has continued to influence architectural education and practice." ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 240 pages.
