Klappentext zu „First House “
In 1937, two of the foremost figures in Germany's celebrated school of modern design, the Bauhaus - Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius - fled the political turmoil of their native country and headed for the shores of America. This move was to have a profound effect on American architecture. The émigre architects began their new careers teaching at Harvard, and in this way had a direct impact on those students who were soon to become the most influential American architects of their generation.This book examines the first houses of a selection of the soon-to-be-famous Harvard architecture students of the 1930s to 1950s: Edward Larrabee Barnes, Ulrich Franzen, John Johansen,Philip Johnson, Eliot Noyes, I M Pei, Paul Rudolph. As well as presenting detailed accounts of the houses themselves, First House includes essays and interviews with the figures involved, providing a unique insight into this key moment in architecture - the meeting point between the idealism of European modernism and the pragmatism of American culture.
