This topical examination of a key moment in modern architecture pointedly and critically evaluates the role of the neo-avant - garde in today's world. International in scope and exhaustive in detail, the book explores important exponents of "visionary" and "utopian" architecture in the closing juncture of the modernist era, coinciding with the cultural upheavals and social transformations of the 1960s and 1970s.
