Description: "The revolution in modes of travel during the twentieth century has transformed not only the way we move through the world, but how we perceive it. Architects's Journeys brings together contemporary architects, historians, and theorists to consider the role that travel has played in the evolution of architectural practice during the last century. Looking beyond the model of enlightened tourism founded by the legacy of the grand tour, the book's contributors investigate travel as a form of displacement anticipating the emergence of the figure of the global architect in the late twentieth century."--Page 4 of cover.
Notes: "This book emerged out of the workshop 'Architects' journeys' held on November 13th, 2009, at GSAPP, Columbia Univerity as a preliminary event for the 7th   International Congress 'The History of Modern Spanish Architecture', which took place at the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra in May 2010"--T.p. verso.
