What is Modernity and Tradition: Contemporary Architecture in Pakistan (The Jubilee Series) about?
<p>This book explores contemporary issues of development and design relevant to cultures in transition. It challenges criteria for "progress" as measured in terms of material quantities, and argues that any assessment of the modernity paradigm as a strategy for development must take into account its collateral damage: the traumatized lives of countless individuals, impoverishment of whole communities, and a threatened global ecosystem.</p>
