Martin Kohlrausch's book tells the story of how, a century ago, the countries of Eastern and Central Europe became a testing ground for a new system of views of architectural modernism. The combination of the internationalism of the CIAM organization and the modernizing aspirations of the new states that emerged after 1918 allowed modernist architects to go far beyond their professional field - for which they sometimes had to pay a high price. The study focuses on the biographies of several modernist architects, mainly from Poland: by examining the dynamics of this group, the author shows how they qualified, organized, socialized, and tried to live in the spirit of modernism.
