Modernity and the Classical Tradition – Architectural Essays 1980–1987 (The MIT Press, 1989) is one of the finest examples of Alan Colquhoun’s criticism and theory in rendering contemporary thinking of architecture. The collection examines the controversial concept of classicism in relation to romanticism, history, postmodernism, rationalism, and modernism.
