Modernity and Early Cultures : Reconsidering non western references for modern architecture in a cross-cultural perspective Paperback / softback
Edited by Anna Minta, Bernd Nicolai
Part of the Neue Berner Schriften Zur Kunst series
Paperback / softback
Description
At the beginning of the 20th century, the discovery of early cultures exerted a formative influence on modern architecture.
Discussions on early civilizations in the Middle East, South-East Asia, and the pre-Columbian cultures of North and South America as well as new perceptions of archaism and primitivism revolutionized the production of art and architecture. In this anthology, European and North and South American scholars from various fields address art and architectural theory to show the avant-garde’s historical relation to archaeology and its influence on the development of Modernism.
Contributors include Can Bilsel (San Diego), Luis E.
Carranza (Rhode Island), Johannes Cramer (Berlin), Christian Freigang (Frankfurt), Maria P.
Gindhart (Atlanta), Jorge F. Liernur (Buenos Aires), Anna Minta (Bern), and Bernd Nicolai (Bern).
