Summary:
Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. ''The other Modern movement'' profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work realized between 1922 and 1962. Frampton’s account offers new insights into iconic buildings like Eileen Gray’s E-1027 House in France and Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Antonin Raymond’s Tokyo Golf Club and Alejandro de la Sota’s Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. Foregrounding the ways that these diverse projects employed progressive models, advanced new methods in construction techniques, and displayed a new sociocultural awareness, Frampton shines a light on the rich legacy of the Modern Movement and the enduring potential of the unfinished modernist project.

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.
