description Architecture mirrors society, from excitement to squalor; and as with all great human achievements, it is measured by individual acts. There is a non-illusory selfhood to a building. Rightly seen, it profiles the will, intellect, and creativity of its designer and the aspirations of its sponsor. Masters of Modern Architecture testifies to these truths, illustrating them dramatically while at the same time emphasizing the essential ingredient: the understanding client. . .These strong-willed iconoclasts [Wright, Le Corbusier, van der Rohe, and Gropius] left what was safe and accepted to leap toward visions of what might be. They were men who opposed the tide of public opinion in order to explore the edges of personal and architectural possibility. Following the progress of their lives and accomplishments is an exciting experience.
