- L'architecture Vivante
L'Architecture Vivante was a French magazine for avantgarde architecture published from 1923 - 1932.
"L’Architecture Vivante"
Jean Badovici edited this magazine for avantgarde architecture between 1923 and 1932. He was an influential critic and mentor of international modern architecture in France and he convinced the publisher Albert Morancé of the importance for such an avantgarde magazine. "L’Architecture Vivante" became immediately an influential mouthpiece of the International style (Bauhaus ,Constructivism ,De Stijl ).Le Corbusier - a friend of Badovici - for instance became one of the architects whose ideals were frequently discussed in this magazine. Badovici cultivated relations to european avantgarde magazines like "Wendingen " (Netherlands ) and "Cahiers d’Art" (France, founded in 1926) of his friendChristian Zervos .Regualary each issue of "L’Architecture Vivante" presented a number of architects and their works but there were also some very few dealing with just one artist (Le Corbusier,
