In the immediate postwar years, a new type of modern architecture
emerges. Beatriz Colomina presents domesticity as a potent new
weapon in a changed architectural battlefield. This architecture
becomes the property of the middle-class consumer bombarded with
images of domestic bliss, a lifestyle campaign launched through
recycled military techniques. The significance of architects like
Charles and Ray Eames lies in their sensitivity to buildings and
images both defining space. Colomina is Director of Princeton
University's Architecture PhD program and acclaimed author of
"Privacy and Publicity" and "Sexuality and Space".
