註釋

"The twentieth century is the first century of self-conscious, total design at every level of our living and environment. Care and vision in the application of design have come to be demanded in every aspect of modern life - from our kitchens and bathrooms, to our factories and workshops, from our clothes and domestic objects, to the packaging of pocket calculators or the structuring of plastic dining chairs. Twentieth-Century Style and Design is a major survey, lavishly illustrated throughout. It traces the concerns of designers of this century in four chronological sections: the pioneers from 1900 to 1915; ornament versus pure form of the twenties and thirties; austerity and reconstruction in the forties and fifties; and experiment versus continuity in the sixties to the present. Although each section is divided according to the type of design - decorative arts, industrial and domestic design, and architecture and the urban environment - the emphasis is on the all-embracing nature of design in the twentieth century. The authors are all leading authorities actively involved in the promotion of contemporary arts. Combining their knowledge and experience, they have produced a book which is essential reading for those involved with architecture and design and for anyone interested in this increasingly pervasive aspect of today." -- Book Jacket.
