“In the period just before and just after the first world war a new idea of architecture came into being. In an amazingly short time it mastered its necessary techniques and produced buildings which were as completely realized as any in the previous history of architecture…” Alison & Peter Smithson.
The Smithsons presented their collected research as an almost wordless story of the exchange of ideas during the “heroic age of modern architecture” establishing a timeline before the aesthetic and ideological compromises of the 1930s polluted modernism’s pure first strain.
