Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean
Vernacular Dialogues and Contested Identities

Bringing to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the
vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region, this book considers
architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. The essays here
situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism,
nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism – an alterna-
tive history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the
twentieth century.

Michelangelo Sabatino, Ph.D., is co editor of Modern Architecture and the Mediterra-
nean. He serves as Assistant Professor and Architectural History & Theory Coordina-
tor at the University of Houston Gerald D Hines College of Architecture. Sabatino’s
research and teaching are focused on critical and historical problems in late 19th-
and 20th-century European and North American architecture, urbanism, and design,
with special attention to the competing and often contradictory ways in which the
appropriation of rural and commercial vernaculars has shaped the pursuit of
national, regional, international identity during this period.

Presentation, book signing and reception titled; “Modern Architecture and Mediterranean Vernacular Dialogues and Contested Identities.”
Michaelangelo Sabatino, Ph.D., is co editor.

He serves as Assistant Professor and Architectural History & Theory Coordinator at University of Houston College of Architecture.
