ISBN 9780262024228. This scholarly volume investigates the relationship between Cubism and the development of modern architecture in the early twentieth century. Edited by Eve Blau and Nancy J. Troy, the book challenges established interpretations of Cubism's influence on architectural theory and practice. Through essays, visual documentation and historical analysis, it explores how Cubist ideas about space, form, fragmentation and multiple viewpoints intersected with the work of architects and designers. The publication examines the exchange between avant-garde painting, architectural design and the broader cultural context of modernism. It also considers the role of exhibitions, publications and artistic networks in shaping the reception of Cubism in architecture. Richly illustrated, the book provides a substantial contribution to the historiography of modern architecture and the visual arts. (AI-generated content description)
