The Advanced School of Collective Feeling
Inhabiting Modern Physical Culture 1926-38
- Brings to light again a little-known movement within the physical culture-driven architectural avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s
- Highlights the mark the concept has left on modern domestic aesthetic as we know it and demonstrates its significance also for contemporary architecture and design
- Features previously unpublished archival photographs, diagrams, and redrawn plans
The Advanced School of Collective Feeling explores the advent of radical new conceptions of the body—a phenomenon known in the 1920s and ’30s as “physical culture”—and their impact on the thinking of some of modern architecture’s most influential figures. Using archival photographs, diagrams, and plans, the book reconstructs a constellation of provocative domestic projects by Marcel Breuer, Charlotte Perriand, Richard Neutra, and others. This obscure chapter in the modern movement gestures towards a remarkable synthesis of the individual and the collective, a perspective that holds enormous potential for articulating an architecture of today.
