Befreites Wohnen

Sigfried Giedion's brief but powerful manifesto, Freed Living, is an early expression of the theory of modern life. Giedion, a spokesman for the architectural avant-garde and a strong advocate of 'subsistence residence', summarizes las m important ideas of modern architecture through numerous illustrations. In an introductory text, Giedion analyzes, among other things, industrialization and its influence on public housing in the early twentieth century.
