Tracing CIAM Summer School’s Networks: Continuity, Connections, and Peerships in CIAM’s Experimental Pedagogy.

The CIAM Summer School was a radical pedagogical experience between 1949 and 1957, with the aim of reorganizing architectural education on a global scale and ensuring the continuity of modern principles in the younger generation. The CIAM summer school had its first edition in London (1949) and, after CIAM 8, it moved to Venice with four editions (1952-1953-1954-1956). A final edition in 1957, no longer referenced CIAM, following the theoretical and generational rift with TEAM 10, and used the more neutral “International Seminar of Modern Architecture.” This paper shifts perspectives on the Modern Movement, refocusing the main attention from the most famous and well-known CIAM protagonists and institutional meetings to the lesser-celebrated young participants of the CIAM’s global classrooms and their connections.
