Description
Befreites Wohnen by Sigfried Giedion is a seminal work of modernist architecture that explores the vision for an international architectural modernism. First published in 1929, this influential manifesto argues for "the cheap house, the open house, the house that makes our lives easier" and offers a critical examination of the industrialization of construction processes.
As both author and designer, Giedion brings his argumentative power to life through illuminating visual comparisons. This photobook is accompanied by comprehensive annotations and a scholarly essay, providing a nuanced understanding of its context and significance.
A landmark publication in the history of modernist architecture, Befreites Wohnen introduces this critical text to English-language readers for the first time, offering a unique insight into the ideas that shaped the development of modern housing.
