Description
White Walls, Designer Dresses: A New Understanding of Modern Architecture. In this thought-provoking history of modern architecture, Mark Wigley challenges conventional wisdom by exploring the role of white walls in shaping the genre. While often seen as a minimalist feature, Wigley argues that the white wall is itself a form of clothing, designed to complement the building's athletic body. By examining the designs and statements of key architects, Wigley reveals how modern architecture was deeply influenced by the logic of clothing reform. This perspective sheds new light on the relationship between fashion and architecture, revealing a complex web of connections that underpins the modern building.
