Résumé:

"Born in the 1920s, critic Ada Louise Huxtable and architects Gae Aulenti and Phyllis Lambert were among the most influential figures in architecture and design during the postwar boom. Pioneers in what was then a largely male-dominated field, and key players in the transition from modernism to postmodernism, they set out to conquer the public spaces they designed and built. through first-hand accounts, essays, sketches and archival images. This volume sheds light on their emblematic achievements - the from the interior design of the Musée d'Orsay to the commissioning of the Seagram Building, not to mention prescriptive columns in teh New York Times - and interweaves their extraordinary biographies to rethink the crucial role of women in the history of the 20th century. -- Back cover.
