 The Jewish contribution to modern architecture, 1830-1930 Architectural Review, The - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Fredric Bedoire's thesis is that the prosperous Jewish families of the major European and American cities made a decisive contribution to the development of modern architecture in the mid-late nineteenth century as clients, developers and architects.
In Vienna, Jews promoted and developed the Ringstrasse, and built their own palazzos there; in Budapest, where at the turn of the century 70 of the city's 110 architects were Jewish, they developed a distinct architectural style, allied to their identification with Hungarian nationalism.
Roger Tanner's translation from Swedish is a little heavy, and I would question some of Bedoire's facts: Guimard was surely not Jewish, although his wife was; and the Einstein Tower was (to Mendelsohn's regret) not built of concrete, but of plastered brick.
