Description
by Catherine Bedard (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Léa-Cathérine Szacka (Text by (Art/Photo Books))
Developing the postwar city as seen through the eyes of three women in the field of architecture, from New York to Montreal, Paris and Milan
The book focuses on the impact of women on the postmodern city. To do so, it follows the personal and professional trajectories of three protagonists who, each in their own way, shaped the intellectual and physical environment of their city: Ada Louise Huxtable (1921-2013), through her articles in the New York Times architecture column; Gae Aulenti (1927-2012), with her conversion of Paris' Gare d'Orsay into a museum and the Piazzale Cadorna in Milan; and Phyllis Lambert (born 1927), with her founding of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal in 1979.
Through documentary and archival images, this catalog documents a turning point in architectural history, when modernity returned to the architectural values of the past and the existing built environment. It also takes a more individual and biographical approach, crossing the paths of three women who played a major role in the construction of the city as we know it today.
