Architecture and Liberty.

This article briefly discusses the book "Space, Time and Architecture: The Growth of a New Tradition," by Sigfried Giedion. The rich content and graphic handling make this the best book that has yet appeared in English on the sources of the modern tradition in architecture. There is a tonic tone; the author does not dwell on the many, many things to be done before the reader reach an ultimate "solution" but exhibits vigorous spirits and what has been achieved in the thick of the battle. The material he uncovers, full of significant detail, is more valuable than the sententious parts of the build-up for his own most favored ideas and architects.
