MISSION STATEMENT

摘要

I have no complaint with Murray Fraser's review of the content of my book, The Globalisation of Modern Architecture (RIBAJ, December 2012/January 2013). But I do have an issue with what he said about my motives.rnNotwithstanding the fact that in the first two pages of the preface I explain exactly why I wrote the book, Fraser suggests that, in reality, this book is part of a 'mission to discredit architectural modernism'boosted by an interest in the symbolism of facades. It seems that this point is so important that it takes up about half the review.
