- Title
EMPIRE EXHIBITION OF SCOTLAND, 1938: IMAGEN Y REPRESENTACIÓN DE UNA EFÍMERA MODERNIDAD.
- Authors
Montes Serrano, Carlos
- Abstract
In 1938 Glasgow was the location for the Empire Exhibition, an event that made little international impact because it was held a bare year before the Second World War, at a time when conflict between the European Great Powers was beginning to seem inevitable. However, within the field of the development of design and of modern architecture in Great Britain, a study of this exposition is of considerable interest, as it shows how Art Deco, with its slender shapes and vitalism in Streamline Moderne style, had gradually been gaining ground over the cold rationalist style brought in from 1933 onwards by a number of the expatriate architects from Germany and other countries.
