Abstract (en)

Examines his Cité de Circulation and Maison d'Artiste projects (1920s) as reciprocal components in Van Doesburg's unified vision of urban architecture. Argues that, in these, he achieved an intermediate position between De Stijl's utopian possibilities and the state of dystopic decay he saw around him.
