Experiments with Life Itself: Radical Domestic Architectures Between 1937 and 19

Description: Experiments with Life Itself by Francisco Gonzalez de Canales Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Five experiments made by prestigious architects on their own homes during the dark days of the Second World War. Publisher Description Every book relating the history of modern architecture features a large number of pages dedicated to avant-garde designs and the formation of the modern movement in the interwar years, and a similar number devoted to reconstruction and expansion after the Second World War. Meanwhile, as if owing to lack of understanding or convenient silence, there is void of dark years, of wars, exile and misfortune about which little can be said. However, it was in these dark times, as in so many other revealing moments in the history of culture, that experimental and profoundly invigorating experiences were taking place. Architects and artists voluntarily or forcibly driven to the margins of social importance began to react to a culturally unsustainable situation of which we know very little even today. In Experiments with Life ItselfA", Francisco Gonzalez de Canales studies a series of unrelated cases from the late 1930s to the late 1950s that he refers to as domestic self-experimentation. Author Biography Francisco González de Canales studied architecture in Seville, Barcelona and at Harvard University. An active critic of contemporary architecture, he is presently the coordinator of curatorial practices/cultural products for the Architectural Association (AACP), London Details ISBN 8492861657 ISBN-13 9788492861651 Title Experiments with Life Itself Author Francisco Gonzalez de Canales Format Paperback Year 2013 Pages 152 Publisher ActarD Inc GE_Item_ID:50837024; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
