An intriguing and exciting book that captures the very essence of its theme: the reinvention of the “room”. Focusing on the revolution in room design during the 20th century, this book reveals the influence of Modernism in introducing rooms without a center. Rooms were opened up; corners were broken down and walls moved apart to allow for another principle: an order for Movement. Movement is not anything new in architecture, but Modernism’s approach is starkly original because movement is generated primarily by the absence of any clear boundaries to rooms, as opposed to being generated by rooms organized into new relationships with one another. Nearly 20 essays by various authors explore the multi-faceted implications of this shift in room design, thus comprising a truly dynamic book that is most informative.
