Book, Art in the machine age, A[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Maxwell Fry is a renowned architect, urban planner and theorist in his field, having carried out projects together with Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier. Art in the Machine Age presents a critical view of contemporary life through the architectural medium, as well as warning about the dangers of disorderly industrial expansion. The author seeks, on the other hand, to show the need for architecture to remain linked to the creative impulse of art, defended in the book as a vital necessity and not a simple derivative. Based on these assumptions, Fry indicates, with clear and concrete examples, the possible path in our technological era towards the formation of an environment suitable for full human development.
