From Bauhaus to Our House
by Tom Wolfe
hardcover in good used condition
"In From Bauhaus to Our House, Tom Wolfe delivers a sharp, witty critique of twentieth-century modern architecture—especially the International Style and the influence of the Bauhaus school. He argues that after WWII, many wealthy Americans, institutions, and architects adopted minimalist, glass-and-steel “boxes” and many austere, theory-driven designs that are alienating, unornamented, and out of touch with what people actually want or find beautiful. Wolfe contrasts this modernist aesthetic with the exuberance, ornament, texture, color and varied traditions of pre-modern architecture—asserting that modernism’s ideology (prizing “function,” abstraction, and anti-ornament) often overrides human comfort, warmth, and cultural identity."
