From the seventeenth century until today, the 'modern' has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit as the means by which the modern was to manifest itself. The essays in this new anthology trace the 'modern' project through its many forms in order to understand contemporary culture in a deeper sense than discussions of 'modernism' and 'post-modernism' usually offer.
