In the finale of our series on Sigfried Giedion, we discussed the bait-and-switch coda of the book, where Giedion unexpectedly addresses questions of urbanism and town planning, via Haussmanisation, designs for Lyon by Tony Garnier, the Garden City movement, slab block modernism and Manhattan. Follow along with images on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1d8rDIt0mIw We hope you enjoyed this series. We will be back soon with a discussion of William Golding's 'The Spire'!
