Caroline Maniaque-Benton

French Encounters with the American Counterculture 1960-1980 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It is normally asserted that French architects looked to North America for technical lessons in the development of modern architecture in the 1960s but that the French cultural environment was generally hostile to American ideas. This book includes interviews with French architects who visited the United States in the 1960s and1970s and then assumed influential positions in the press and education in France. Some of these architects found a liberating force in non-mainstream America and its radical groups of architectural drop-outs.
