**Includes a loosely laid-in poster for an exhibition under the same title held in Toronto in 1993.**

Modernism Without Dogma is a richly illustrated survey of emerging talents who, instead of worshipping the Bauhaus, build on its bones with humour, sensitivity, and unapologetic originality. Think vibrant public spaces, clever urban hacks, and buildings that feel more like adventures than monuments.

Brimming with postmodern irreverence, low-key surrealism, and a winking nod to tradition, this rare book captures a pivotal moment when Dutch architecture said, "Sure, rules are cute—but we’ve got other ideas."

Out-of-print and tough to track down, this is a must for design hunters, rebel spirits, and anyone suspicious of architectural manifestos with too many capital letters.

Very good condition: Covers slightly discoloured, but internally the book is clean, bright and tightly bound. Neat previous owner’s signature to title page.
