Books like The CIAM discourse on urbanism, 1928-1960 by Eric Paul Mumford


The CIAM (Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne), founded in Switzerland in 1928 by avant‑garde architects, sought to promote modernism and internationalism in urban design. Architectural historian Eric Mumford traces the organization’s discourse, showing how CIAM’s early doctrines of the “Functional City” adapted to changing member circumstances and political climates. After World War II, the group pursued a more socially engaged architecture, and its younger faction, Team 10, pushed for radical revisions of CIAM’s mission in the 1950s, ultimately leading to the organization’s dissolution in 1959.
