CIAM 4, Athens<\/strong>. 1933<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Also included are two pictures clipped from an unknown source depicting the \u201cPatris\u201d [?] and two delegates talking on board. Related background material can be found in CIAM: Dokumente<\/em>, edited by Martin Steinmann (Basel, 1979), pp. [113]\u2013[171], as well as Sigfried Giedion\u2019s \u201cCIAM at Sea,\u201d Architect\u2019s Year Book<\/em>, vol. 3 (1949), pp. 36\u201339. Additional context is provided by Can Our Cities Survive<\/em> (1942), which, although a collective product of CIAM\u2019s congresses, has a particular relationship to the theme of the 4th Congress. The collection includes typescript proceedings, as well as both draft and final versions (1939) of the Charte d\u2019Ath\u00e8nes<\/em>, along with material connected to the exhibit and publication produced by the congress, La Ville Fonctionelle<\/em>. The typescripts are annotated in the hand of J. L. Sert, and the exhibit material includes sketches and legends in colored pencil by him. Also included is an annotated variant typescript titled Charte de l\u2019Urbanisme<\/em>, gifted by James Herold in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
