The influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed more than 50 million people around the globe, changed the course of world history — and architecture was not immune. Design and art historian Theodora Philcox, joins Blueprint to discuss how that pandemic was the death-knell of the dusty Victorian attic, how the post-pandemic world's preoccupation with hygiene informed modernism, the 20th century's dominant architectural style, and what changes may await architecture following our present pandemic (and yes, Le Corbusier's bidet makes a cameo).
