Abstract (en)

On Sigfried Giedion's interpretive model of modernism, i.e. his thesis that the concept of space in modernism springs from an allied concept of movement; and his statement that the functionality of architecture was hardly affected by the advent of electric light. Points out Giedion's failure to take into account the movement, or variations in optical impressions, made possible by the flexible manipulation of artificial light.
