shaper of modernity, deftly charting its rise and multiple
appearances through the avant-garde, architecture and
cinema.”—Simon von Wolkenstein, Architectural Theory Review
“With elegant prose and excellent illustrations, Stierli reconciles
erudition and clarity to explain the confluence of architecture,
photography, film, and the visual arts in the crucible of
modernity”— Luis Fernández-Galiano, Arquitectura Viva

recast in its very essence through lucid discussions of significant
relationships like Mies van der Rohe and Dada, and Eisenstein and
Constructivism.”—Jean-Louis Cohen, Institute of Fine Arts, New York
University
"Montage and the Metropolis is a substantial achievement. The
author provides an elegant and compelling history of architectural
montage in modernism, with a provocative extension to the
postmodern.”—Claire Zimmerman, author of Photographic Architecture
in the Twentieth Century
“Montage and the Metropolis is a landmark contribution to our
understanding of how modern architecture emerged in dialogue with
film, photography, and the visual arts.”—Edward Dimendberg, author
of Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Architecture after Images
