The Architecture of Modernism in Transylvania, the Architecture of Modernism in Korunk

Summary/Abstract: Since its launch in 1926, the cultural review Korunk has devoted sustained attention to the shaping of the built environment. Architecture, in line with the intellectual history of modernism, constitutes an integral and inalienable part of culture. It is among the most important indicators of social progress, as it not only meets practical needs but also provides insight into the symbolic and abstract ideas and aspirations of a community. This introductory essay traces architectural writings in Korunk from its inception until 1970. It concludes that the major contributions of the 1920s ran parallel to the emergence of modern architectural theory. The generation of architects who matured in the spirit of Bauhaus, Neue Sachlichkeit, respectively Swiss, Italian, and Central European rationalism and avant-garde remained active until the early 1970s – and their traces can be found throughout the pages of Korunk.
