There’s no master without myth, so it is no surprise that the four most prominent modern architects, the most widely studied at schools, had novel-like lives: moments of genius, crises, stimulating friendships, great women by their sides… Luis Fernández-Galiano discusses all this in the new issue of AV Monographs, which examines the biographies of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto. These life journeys originated in a series of lectures delivered in 2010 at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid, which had a great turnout and have continued to draw considerable attention ever since, thanks to streaming. As with ‘Four Cities’ (AV 259), this success with audiences has encouraged to document the talks in print, maintaining the natural pace and graphic profuseness of slide presentations.
