Does it make sense to cite Behrens as a possible model, today? What can we learn from him? Through the analysis of past and recent interpretations of his work in all its aspects, from Pevsner to Richards, from Giedion and Hitchcock to Meyer, from Gregotti to Cohen, Anderson, Frank and Malcovati, this essay aims at focusing on Behrens’ relationship with issues like Modernity, Form, Shape and suggests that the lesson of a multidisciplinary approach to “giving shape” is the most useful one in an age, like ours, of group work and collective action.

Abstract
Does it make sense to cite Behrens as a possible model, today? What can we learn from him? Through the analysis of past and recent interpretations of his work in all its aspects, from Pevsner to Richards, from Giedion and Hitchcock to Meyer, from Gregotti to Cohen, Anderson, Frank and Malcovati, this essay aims at focusing on Behrens’ relationship with issues like Modernity, Form, Shape and suggests that the lesson of a multidisciplinary approach to “giving shape” is the most useful one in an age, like ours, of group work and collective action.File in questo prodotto:
