Architects and Engineers: Modes of Cooperation in the Interwar Period, 1919-1939 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783035623253)

In the first decades of the 20th century, civil engineers were widely
seen as a role model for future architects. Their role within the
contemporary architecture movements, however, was hardly discussed. To
this day, even fundamental questions about collaborations, rivalries, or
conflicts between the two sister disciplines still await answers.

This
volume brings together contributions by international scholars on the
cooperation between architects and civil engineers in various countries
in the interwar period. By offering both insights into national
peculiarities and new reflections on the general nature, character, and
significance of such joint efforts, it opens exciting new perspectives
on the modern building culture of Europe and beyond.
