Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in Modern Architecture The works of art are divided into chapters according to materials, but this somewhat arbitrary catalog device is merely a convenience in groupmg the illustrations, and there are many overlapping cases where entire build ings should be considered as an entity. Using materials as a basis for grouping the examples does not mean that materials are considered the most important factor in architectural art. The examples might just as well have been separated according to building types; or they might have been separated according to building elements such as interior and exterior walls, columns, doorways, windows, ceilings, oors, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
