Summary:
In the years of reconstruction and economic boom that followed the Second World War, the domestic sphere encountered new expectations regarding social behaviour, modes of living, and forms of dwelling. This book brings together an international group of scholars from architecture, design, urban planning, and interior design to reappraise mid-twentieth century modern life, offering a timely reassessment of culture and the economic and political effects on civilian life. This collection contains essays that examine the material of art, objects, and spaces in the context of practices of dwelling over the long span of the postwar period. It asks what role material objects, interior spaces, and architecture played in quelling or fanning the anxieties of modernism’s ordinary denizens, and how this role informs their legacy today.

Summary:
This publication explores the influence of Heidegger's concept of dwelling in disputing major imperatives of modern architecture. It is a book on both the history of architecture and the history of ideas. Focused on the substential differences of the philosopher's first-person approach to Le Corbusier's positivism, it goes on to draw on the views of the "other modern". Of Heidegger's ideas, it pinpoints those that appealed to architects who questioned the post-war modern architecture's record, and demonstrate the scope of appropriation of his theory on dwelling; an appropriation, nevertheless, subject to limitations - for better or worse. Last but not least, it traces Heiddegger's thoughts into the current debate on architecture generated by modern-day architects and thinkers such as Aaron Betsky and Rem Koolhaas.
