On display case surface: Herbert Bayer, cover design for Sigfried Giedion, Space, Time and Architecture: The Growth of a New Tradition, 1941.(PC) Sigfried Giedion never taught at the Bauhaus but, as founder and Secretary of CIAM, and as one of Moholy-Nagy’s, Breuer’s and Gropius’ closest friends and patrons, he was intimately connected to the Bauhaus and its afterlife. His book Space, Time and Architecture became a central text of Post-War Bauhaus-inspired architectural history and theory. He had extensive contacts with Canadian architects Hazen Sise and Wells Coates when they were in Britain, and with other Canadians during the 1950s and ‘60s, particularly with the Dean of Architecture at the University of Toronto, Eric Arthur, with Blanche Lemco van Ginkel (who had been active in CIAM around 1950) and with architect John C. Parkin, whose buildings Giedion admired when he visited Toronto in 1954. He also corresponded with and met Marshall McLuhan, who was influenced by the ideas put forward in Giedion’s other great success, the book Mechanization Takes Command, a forerunner of McLuhan’s own The Mechanical Bride; 50 Years Bauhaus.
