Here Comes the Sun: Architecture and Public Space in European Culture
Ken Worpole
Here Comes the Sun looks at how social reformers, planners and architects
in the early twentieth century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit,
ordered utopia. While much has been written about architectural modernism, Worpole concentrates
less on buildings and more on the planning of the spaces in-between – the parks,
public squares, open-air museums, promenades, public pools and other public leisure facilities.
Worpole demonstrates how open-air public spaces became sought - after commissions
for many early modernist architects in the early 1900s, resulting in the transformation
of the European cityscape.
