Summary:
The Technical Schools complex in Groningen was designed in 1922 by the then director of technical education, civil engineer Jan Gerko Wiebenga, in collaboration with the Rotterdam architect Leendert Cornelis van der Vlugt. The original complex comprised a secondary and a junior secondary technical school plus two rows of workshops and laboratories and various outbuildings in between. Wiebenga’s decision to construct the schools in concrete was unusual in that at the time this method of construction was considered suitable only for industrial buildings. The materialization, column structure and window bands all gave the building an unprecedentedly modern appearance. Over the years, the buildings have been radically altered, partially demolished and extended. The Wiebenga complex has recently been renovated, restored and completely adapted to modern educational requirements. Every effort was made to enhance the identity of the original buildings of what is now officially recognized as a modern national monument and the architectural design of the conversion is closely related to the principles of the original concept.

Summary:
Partners in Design, which accompanies an exhibition opening at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in April 2016, chronicles their collaboration, placing it in the larger context of the avant-garde in New York—1930s salons where they mingled with Julien Levy, the gallerist who brought Surrealism to the United States, and Lincoln Kirstein, co-founder of the New York City Ballet; their work to help Bauhaus artists like Josef and Anni Albers escape Nazi Germany—and the dissemination of their ideas across the United States through MoMA’s traveling exhibition program. Illustrated with icons of modernist design, MoMA installation views, and previously unpublished images of the Barr and Johnson apartments—domestic laboratories for modernism, and in Johnson’s case, designed and furnished by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—this fascinating study sheds new light on the introduction and success in North America of a new kind of modernism, thanks to the combined efforts of two uniquely discerning and influential individuals.
