From Bauhaus to Our House By Tom Wolfe 1981 1st Ed/1st Print FSG W/ DJ

Description: TOM WOLFE Nonfiction | Book | Adult | Published in 1981 Tom Wolfe’s 1981 book-length essay, From Bauhaus to Our House, is a trenchant critique of 20th-century architecture’s “glass-box” aesthetic. Laying the blame for America’s bland modern buildings at the door of Europe’s architectural “compounds,” Wolfe lambasts the follies of Germany’s Bauhaus movement and regrets its mid-century migration to America. He argues that the austere International Style of architecture was ill-suited to post-war America, where the booming economy encouraged indulgent consumption and lavish lifestyles.
