Description

Here Comes the Sun looks at how social reformers, planners and architectsin the early twentieth century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit,ordered utopia. While much has been written about architectural modernism, Worpole concentratesless on buildings and more on the planning of the spaces in-between – the parks,public squares, open-air museums, promenades, public pools and other public leisure facilities.Worpole demonstrates how open-air public spaces became sought - after commissionsfor many early modernist architects in the early 1900s, resulting in the transformationof the European cityscape.
