Modern Architecture and an International Sensibility: A Curious
Cross-Atlantic Constellation presents an alternative history of
internationalism and modernism, with a focus on the role of
architecture and spatial practices. Beginning at the tail-end of the
peace movements— the turn of the twentieth century— and ending
with the Nuremberg trials, the book highlights the part played by
individual agency, social reform and architecture in moulding a
working everyday definition of what it meant to be international
during this time. By viewing internationalism through the lens of the
individual and the body, both as initiator and subject, it is
repositioned as an integral part of everyday life, rather than simply
understood to be concerned with geopolitical relations between nations
and their institutions. The book furthers a research methodology that
is multidisciplinary and transnational. It will therefore be of
interest to researchers and students of architecture and international
history.
