Biography

The founding of CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) in 1928 has been cited as the beginning of the "academic" phase of modern architecture. The organization and its membership were extraordinarily influential in the development of contemporary architectural and urban planning theory. Through its congresses and publications, CIAM served as an international forum for progressive theoreticians and practitioners in design.
