Modernism and the Professional Architecture Journal

While the history of postwar reconstruction has been increasingly well covered for most European countries, research investigating postwar architectural magazines and journals across Europe; their role in the discourse and production of the built environment, and particularly their inter-relationship and differing conceptions of postwar architecture; is relatively undeveloped. Modernism and the professional architecture journal sounds out this territory in a new collection of essays concerning the second phase of the reception and assimilation of modernism in architecture, as it was represented in professional architecture journals during the period of postwar reconstruction (1945-1965).
