Towards New Architecture focuses on the principles, methodologies, approaches, and styles employed in architecture. The book first elaborates on the relationship of an engineer's aesthetic and architecture, reminders to architects, regulating lines, mass production houses, and the choice between architecture and industrial revolution. The text then takes a look at mass, surface, and plan and the interconnection of these three entities. The book notes that mass and surface, which are determined by the plan, are the prime elements by which architecture manifests itself. The text takes a look at the lesson of Rome and the illusion of plans, as well as ancient Rome, Byzantine Rome, the period of Michael Angelo, architectural elements of the interior, arrangement, and transgression. The book is a fine reference for architects and historians interested in pursuing further research in architecture.
