Victor Bourgeois 1897-1962 : Modernity, Tradition & Neutrality
nai010, 2021. 1.. Hardcover, 469 pages, ENG, 285 x 245 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w.
This book is the first monograph on Victor Bourgeois, the main pioneer of the international Modern Movement in Belgium. Victor Bourgeois (1897-1962) was the main pioneer of the international Modern Movement in Belgium. He helped build the famous Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart (1927) and between 1928 and 1930 played a crucial role in the CIAM, the most influential platform for modern architecture and urban planning of the twentieth century. The book is the first study of the built and written oeuvre of Victor Bourgeois. Bourgeois' subtle work and sharp theoretical insights make him an undeservedly forgotten architect and urban planner. Architectural historian and curator Iwan Strauven charts the entire oeuvre, both in a 'catalogue raisonné' and in an 'intellectual biography'. The book is not only Bourgeois' first all-encompassing monograph, it also makes a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the architectural history of the twentieth century.
