In this first episode of a new series on Sigfried Giedion's 1941 book 'Space, Time and Architecture', we discussed the approach to architectural history and urbanism in the first part of this totemic publication which shaped modernist architectural culture. Giedion was a Jewish historian from a family of Swiss industrialists, born in Prague who studied under Heinrich Wölfflin in Munich. He was a founding member of the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne or "CIAM" who left Europe for America in the 1930s like many other Jewish émigrés. The lectures he gave at Harvard in the late 1930s were published as 'Space, Time and Architecture', one of the most influential works of architectural history and theory of the 20th century.
