Using a social approach to explain the formal aspects of early 20th-century architecture, this book demonstrates that the move away from historical styles and towards an engagement with space was predicted in part by a shift in the public for architecture. By the 1910s German archite cts and their patrons addressed the working and lower middle classes in buildings which they hoped would, by being experienced in the same way regardless of social station, help transcend the countries deep polical divisions. Attaching modernist architecture to mass culture and to the kind of spectacle more often...

ISBN: 9780415274937 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Writing Spaces examines and compares discourses of architecture, urbanism and the built environment between 1960 and 2000, a period in which economies and cultures in the world became ever more interdependent; in which technologies revolutionized production and communications and when the social and spatial organization of built environments and cities were massively transformed.

It suggests that research...
