William J. R. Curtis Livres

    21 mars 1948

    William J. R. Curtis est un historien de l'architecture dont les écrits se sont concentrés sur l'architecture du XXe siècle. Son travail est particulièrement reconnu pour son engagement à élargir le 'canon' traditionnel afin d'englober un éventail plus large d'architectes à l'échelle mondiale, offrant ainsi une compréhension plus inclusive de l'histoire de l'architecture. L'approche de Curtis met l'accent sur une perspective mondiale et les dialogues internationaux qui ont façonné le design moderne. Ses recherches approfondies et son analyse critique contribuent de manière significative à une appréciation plus profonde des mouvements architecturaux contemporains.
