The original formulation we owe to German architect Hermann Muthesius who coined it circa 1916 when he was chairman of the Deutscher Werkbund. See Cecchetti, M., & Baker, S. (2011). For sensitive skin: On the transformation of architecture into design. Annali D’Italianistica (29), 237–252. http://www.jstor.org/stable/24016425. Rogers supposedly re-introduced the concept at the 1953 Congrès internationaux d’architecture moderne (CIAM) in Aix-en-Provence, France, that marked the definitive rejection of the “modified Functionalism” of the Charter of Athens and its understanding of the city through the categories of dwelling, work, recreation, and transportation. See Frampton, K. (1980). Modern architecture. Thames & Hudson, p. 269 onwards.
