Twentieth-Century Architecture: The Middle Years 1940 - 1945, John Jacobus, 1966

About
Twentieth-Century Architecture: The Middle Years 1940–1945 (1966) by John Jacobus provides a focused examination of architecture during the critical period of World War II. The book analyzes how global conflict, technological innovation, and social upheaval influenced design, construction, and urban planning. Jacobus highlights key architects and movements navigating constraints of materials, labor, and political context, illustrating the tension between modernist ideals and practical necessity. Featuring detailed illustrations, photographs, and critical commentary, the work documents both prominent projects and lesser-known experiments, revealing how the war years shaped the trajectory of mid-century architecture and laid the groundwork for postwar innovation and reconstruction.
