دانلود کتاب Émigré Cultures in Design and Architecture

Émigré Cultures in Design and Architecture considers the lasting contribution made by Central European designers and architects to twentieth-century architecture.
Featuring original writing from leading academics in the field, this edited collection examines how oppositional stances in debates concerning consumption and modernism’s social agendas in Europe prefigured the adoption or rejection of émigrés such as Joseph Binder, Josef Frank and Felix Augenfeld by American culture. The contributors to this cutting-edge volume argue that émigrés and refugees from fascist Europe drew on the particular experiences of their home countries, and networks of émigré and exiled designers in the United States, developing a humanist, progressive and socially inclusive design culture which continues to influence design practice today.
