The Unfinished Modern Project at the End of Modernity cover

British architect, critic, historian and educator Kenneth Frampton is the third recipient of the Soane Medal, which is awarded annually in recognition of architects and critics who have made a major contribution to their field through practice, education, history or theory, and in doing so have furthered and enriched the public understanding of architecture. The lecture was delivered on 11 November 2019 at the Sheikh Zayed Theatre in the New Academic Building of the London School of Economics. This publication contains the transcript of Kenneth Frampton's lecture, which examines masterworks of modern architecture from 1930 to the present in order to theorise an architecture that resists our compulsive commodification of the environment.
