Overview"""Inside Architecture"" is an examination of the role the modernist project has played in late 20th century building, as well as an attempt to reconcile the dilemmas and shortcomings of modern orthodoxy. Since the 1950s, Vittorio Gregotti has constructed a critical position that is probably without peer among practicing architects. Through his experiments with the neo-avant-gardes in 1963, his editorship of ""Casabella"" from 1982 to 1995, and his teaching, practice and writing, Gregotti's voice has influenced almost every recent architectural debate. ""Inside Architecture"", his first major work to be translated into English, balances a series of architectural themes concerning the theoretical debate surrounding modernism and tradition as well as the more practical affairs of the architect."
