About

The Advanced School of Collective Feeling Synopsis

"Expand your mind and look good doing it with these new boundary-bending works of theoretical exploration by some of the field's premier thinkers." - The Architect's Newspaper
"This jog through the history of physical culture vis-à-vis modern architecture features a series of drawings (beautifully rendered in metallic ink over black paper) and an impressive assortment of archival imagery. Taking the book over the finish line: a collection of somersaulting, weightlifting, and jeté-ing silhouettes that are bound to elicit more than a few smiles."
Architectural Record
The Advanced School of Collective Feeling explores the advent of radical new conceptions of the body-a phenomenon known in the 1920s and '30s as "physical culture"-and their impact on the thinking of some of modern architecture's most influential figures. Using archival photographs, diagrams, and plans, the book reconstructs a constellation of provocative domestic projects by Marcel Breuer, Charlotte Perriand, Richard Neutra, and others. This obscure chapter in the modern movement gestures towards a remarkable synthesis of the individual and the collective, a perspective that holds enormous potential for articulating an architecture of today.
