Résumé:
This classic of prediction, written in 1969, has now been brought up-to-date, the prophecies judged, and the omens extended to 2030. The success rate of Jencks' forecasts and his method of combining expert prediction with structural analysis make this book an important contribution to the art of conjecture. Not only did he predict a series of innovations that have changed the world, such as the Internet, but he identified six main architectural traditions that continuously transform over time. This provides a method of gauging what are likely to be the future movements in architecture, a useful and fascinating tool for speculation.

Résumé:
This book presents over 120 of the key arguments of today's major architectural philosophers. These show that the modern architecture of the early part of this century has mutated into three main traditions: a critical and ecological post-modernism; a high-tech and sculptural late modernism, and deconstructive, subversive new modernism. Here are the seminal texts of James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Colin Rowe, Christopher Alexander, Frank Gehry, Reyner Banham, Bernard Tschumi, Rem Koolhaas and many others who have changed the discourse of architecture. Here also are the anti-modern texts of the traditionalists - Leon Krier, Demetri Porphyrios, Quinlan Terry, Prince Charles and others. Many of these texts are concise, edited versions of influential books. Reprinted in 2003.
