Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Fascinating profiles of the leading architects of the 1930s during a crucial period in the evolution of modernismArchitect, designer, and architectural critic, George Nelson (19081986) was a young and impressionable architect when he wrote a series of articles in 1935 and 1936 that eloquently introduced astonishing buildings and fascinating personalities from across the Atlantic to wider American audiences. Building a New Europe presents this important collection of writings together for the first time. The subjects of Nelsons essays include figures both major (Mies van Der Rohe and Le Corbusier) and minor (HelwegMoeller and Ivar Tengbom). All of these architects would soon be affected by World War IIthey would be put out of work or seek new careers abroad. Nelsons essays spark fascinating questions about the canon of modernism: how would circumstances in the prewar years cause some architects to rise and others to fall? Accompanied by a comprehensive introduction and a wide selection of archival photographs, many never before published, this unique study is a significant contribution to the history of modern architecture.Published in association with the Yale University School of Architecture
