At the same time, the International Style made its irresistible breakthrough under the guiding hands of the Bourgeois brothers, Louis Herman De Koninck, Gaston Brunfaut and others. A text written by historians and architects sheds light on the context of the age. While an illustrated route map and brief biographies of the principal architects and avant-garde journals complete a tourist guide which will prove an essential reference work for anyone seeking to know and appreciate the architecture of the twenties andthirties in Brussels. New book.
