This book is subdivided into two sections of essays by an international group of scholars who adopt a number of different methodological perspectives. The first part discusses architects who lived and worked in Mediterranean countries. It examines how they and their designs addressed and negotiated complex politics of identity as a constituent of a multilateral vision of modernity against the prevailing machine age discourse that informed canonic modernism at the time.
