More Description A study of the effect of physical culture on modern domestic architecture.
The 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.
