About This Item
Kraków: Międzynarodowe Centrum Kultury, 2018 4to (26.5 cm), 288 pp. Publisher's printed boards. The catalog of an exhibition held in International Cultural Centre, Krakow 09.11.2018-10.02.2019. From the blurb: "How did architecture and urban planning help realize socio-political goals in newly emerged states of Central Europe after the First World War? Where were old monuments and mausoleums demolished and where were new ones erected to strengthen young national identities? Is interwar architectural modernism specific exclusively for large urban centres? What kind of initiatives were undertaken by independent Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and the Baltic countries to provide their citizens good living conditions? This publication offers a multidimensional discussion of the relationship between architecture and politics after the First World War. It features comprehensive essays on new political geography of Central-Eastern Europe after the Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920), Central European modernist architecture, and new housing policy in the region.
More detailed analyses are dedicated, among others, to modernist village of Lisków in Greater Poland, the interwar architecture of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and the Baltic countries, as well as the transformation and modernization of Kaunas – the temporary capital of Lithuania from 1919 to 1939."
