Summary:

"In Modern Architecture in Czechoslovakia Karel Teige vividly portrays the background and rise of modern design strategies in that fledgling state as a conflict between historicist forces and constructivist and functionalist alternatives. It remains an incisive account of an exciting but little-known chapter in the history of the modern movement."--Jacket.
