Taking the book over the finish line: a collection of somersaulting, weightlifting, and jet?-ing silhouettes that are bound to elicit more than a few smiles.\" -?Architectural RecordThe Advanced School of Collective Feeling explores the advent of radical new conceptions of the body-a phenomenon known in the 1920s and '30s as \"physical culture\"-and their impact on the thinking of some of modern architecture's most influential figures. Using archival photographs, diagrams, and plans, the book reconstructs a constellation of provocative domestic projects by Marcel Breuer, Charlotte Perriand, Richard Neutra, and others. This obscure chapter in the modern movement gestures towards a remarkable synthesis of the individual and the collective, a perspective that holds enormous potential for articulating an architecture of today.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309669364085,"sku":"9783038601074","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783038601074.jpg?v=1762812799","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783038601074","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
