Meanwhile, as if owing to lack of understanding or convenient silence, there is void of dark years, of wars, exile and misfortune about which little can be said. However, it was in these dark times, as in so many other revealing moments in the history of culture, that experimental and profoundly invigorating experiences were taking place. Architects and artists voluntarily or forcibly driven to the margins of social importance began to react to a culturally unsustainable situation of which we know very little even today. In Experiments with Life Itself, Francisco Gonzalez de Canales studies a series of unrelated cases from the late 1930s to the late 1950s that he refers to as domestic self-experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive experiments by prestigious architects on their own homes during the dark days of the Second World War\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8.18 x 5.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48095843156227,"sku":"9788492861651","price":37.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/experiments-with-life-itself-radical-domestic-architectures-between-1937-and-1959-paperback","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
