Como esas diapositivas que tanto admirábamos, de nuestros profesores de historia de la arquitectura, cuando era un simple estudiante (allá por los lejanos años ochenta) y que custodiaban con tanto celo; pero ahora, universalmente disponibles vía internet, en compañía de bien elaboradas fichas informativas.  Cerca de 1.300 imágenes de gran calidad que, ahora, podemos disfrutar en línea, gracias a la USC – University of Southern California.

Architectural Teaching Slide Collection

The Block and Koenig slides are two of the smaller unique collections in the possession of the USC Libraries. They document examples of 20th century California architecture that developed stylistically from the foundations of the International Style as established by the 1932 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, titled Modern Architecture: International Exhibition, and of European pre-World War II Modernism.

The collection consists of about 1300 slides from the Fritz Block collection that document Modern architecture of Southern California (although there are some slides that pertain to Modern architecture of Northern California), and 100 slides from the collection of Pierre Koenig.
