Acknowledgments

This book originated in a lecture course that I gave in Mendrisio, Switzerland, at the Accademia di architettura, Università della Svizzera italiana.

An Italian edition was published as L’altro Movimento Moderno in 2015 by Mendrisio Academy Press, in association with Silvana Editoriale. Tiziano Casartelli supervised the in-house team: Maddalena Ferrara, Elena Triunveri, and Alessandra Castelbarco. Ludovica Molo was responsible for the initial compilation of the lectures. Design was by Andrea Lancellotti.

The English edition was overseen at Yale University Press by Katherine Boller. It was edited by Ashley Simone, who was also responsible for additional picture research along with Bárbara Miglietti, Sarah Rafson, and Raychel Rapazza. Ann Twombly copyedited the text, and Luke Bulman adapted the original layout.

I am indebted to Elise Jaffe and Jeffrey Brown for their generous support, which made this edition possible. I am equally grateful for assistance from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Furthermore, and the Nancy Batson Nisbet Rash Publication Fund.

Lastly, I must thank my wife, Silvia Kolbowski, who has been a constant source of support throughout this endeavor.

Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. The Other Modern Movement profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work realized between 1922 and 1962.

Frampton’s account offers new insights into iconic buildings like Eileen Gray’s E-1027 House in France and Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Antonin Raymond’s Tokyo Golf Club and Alejandro de la Sota’s Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. Foregrounding the ways that these diverse projects employed progressive models, advanced new methods in construction techniques, and displayed a new sociocultural awareness, Frampton shines a light on the rich legacy of the Modern Movement and the enduring potential of the unfinished modernist project.
