Résumé:

France played a central role in the emergence and development of modernism across a variety of disciplines, with its architects in particular creating some of the most iconic buildings of the twentieth century. Yet few histories have attempted to grapple with the continuities and breaks in France's architecture since 1900, particularly against the broader international background. Jean-Louis Cohen's 'France' is the first book to present a complete narrative of the unfolding of architectural modernity in France, dealing both with the buildings and the political and critical frameworks surrounding them.
