Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM)
The Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne started in 1928 as
24 architects signed a declaration. The CIAM was formed as a way of

agreements that would allow architecture to move forward. While the group
was made up of 24 architects, this was not the limit of its influence. The
CIAM was considered as an educated body of architects, and large numbers of
European architects accepted the CIAM as offering guidance.
The first meeting held in 1928 set the basic ideals of the CIAM. Its
focus was mainly on architecture as meeting social and economic needs.
This focus meant that the idea of architecture as art was minimized, with
