Autumn

Polish Avant-Garde Architecture and Architectural Publishing, 1920-1940

15 October 2009 - 25 November 2009

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Venue:

British Architectural Library, RIBA, 66 Portland Place

Description:

A display, from the international collections of the RIBA British Architectural Library, explores Polish Constructivist architecture, a style closely linked with avantgarde movements elsewhere in Europe.

In the 1920s progressive artists and architects advocated modernist architecture, better-designed social housing and a closer relationship between architecture and other arts.

Their publications, distinct for their vigorous, imaginative typography and layout, promulgated new ideas about modern living.
