| Series I. Correspondence, 1934-1958
2.0 boxes, 4 folders
|
| This series presents the correspondence of the Belgian section of CIAM, as principally carried out and preserved by its secretary,
Paul Fitschy of the Liège-based group L'Equerre. The series details the foundation of the Belgian section; Belgian section
meetings and business (the minutes themselves are filed in Series III. Documents); work, debate and travel for CIAM congress
preparation and attendance as well as for CIRPAC and CIAM council meetings; associated architectural or city planning exhibitions
and events; government support for CIAM works; and the preparation, editing and marketing of various CIAM publications.
|
| Fitschy's prolific pen documents the work of and changes to the Belgian section through its several decades of activity, as
well as his often heroic efforts to ensure member participation and the completion of CIAM business amidst a general insufficiency
of energy and funds. Communications with central CIAM officials (principally Sigfried Giedion of Zürich, CIAM secretary-general,
and Cornelis van Eesteren of Amsterdam, CIAM president from 1930 to 1947) are preserved, as is occasional correspondence documenting
contacts with a wide range of significant modern European architects and city planners. Among the episodes revealed in the
correspondence are the Belgian section's reorganization into three separate divisions (Liège, Antwerp, Brussels); the circumstances
surrounding Victor Bourgeois's sudden resignation from CIAM; efforts to assist in the professional formation of younger architects;
and Fitschy's ultimate resignation as Belgian section secretary. Also covered is Huib Hoste's hotly contested exclusion from
the Belgian section, based on suspicion that he expressed pro-Nazi or collaborationist views during the German occupation
of Belgium. Although many letters are copies, several bear the signatures of notable architects, including Le Corbusier and
Sigfried Giedion.
