Gothic style and contemporary architecture worldwide

Although largely overlooked
in studies of architectural history, church architecture in a Gothic idiom outlived
its 19th century momentum to persist worldwide throughout the 20th century and into
the new millennium.

Global Gothic presents a first systematic worldwide understanding of
"Gothic" in contemporary architecture, both as a distinct variation and
as a competitor to recognized modern styles. The book’s chapters critically discuss
Gothic’s various manifestations over the past century, describing and
illustrating approaches from Gothic Revival living traditions in the former
British Empire and original Gothic appropriation in Latin America to competitions
of European builders in former Asian and African colonies. The focus is also on
the special appropriations in North America, China and Japan, as well as
contemporary solutions that tend to be transnational in style.

With contributions
from renowned architecture experts from around the world, Global Gothic provides
an overview of this cultural phenomenon and presents a wealth of stunning
material, much of it little known. Richly illustrated in full color, it offers
an important contribution to colonial and postcolonial global art history and a
seldom acknowledged perspective on art history in general.
