Description

Designing UNESCO: Art, Architecture and International Politics at Mid-Century provides a deep look into the creation of the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization headquarters in Paris. As the first full-length monograph on this subject, this Routledge publication explores the entire process from the initial conception in 1950 through to the official inauguration in 1958. This book examines how the construction and reception of the UNESCO permanent seat connected modernist practices with twentieth-century international politics, art, and architecture. It offers a detailed study of how these different fields met during a transformative era of global history. For students, historians, and professionals interested in the history of international organizations and modernist design, this text serves as a primary resource for understanding the complex history behind one of the world's most significant architectural landmarks.
