Summary:

"Contrairement à ce que suggèrent la plupart des histoires, la Seconde Guerre mondiale à été un moment fondamental dans la modernisation tant théorique que pratique de l'architecture. Architecture en uniforme ouvre de nouvelles perspectives sur l'histoire architecturale de la guerre, rendant compte des épisodes qui se sont succédé entre le bombardement de Guernica en 1937 et celui d'Hiroshima en 1945, et qui ont conduit à la suprématie définitive des langages modernes. Les thèmes parcourus, comme le rôle des villes dans la guerre aérienne, les nouveaux bâtiments des usines, la participation directe de l'architecture à la guerre, les mégaprojets et les développements dans la vie civile après la guerre, révèlent l'ampleur de la contribution des architectes à tous les aspects de la mobilisation totale de ces années douloureuses."--Page 4 of cover.
