Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This Book Tells how modernism evolved in the most celebrated design school in America. Tracing developments at Harvard, whose Graduate School of Design was home from 1937 to 1952 of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, it shows that America had initiated its own modern agenda before the arrival of the European modernist ideology.
Book News Annotation:Alofsin (architecture, U. of Texas, Austin) has written a detailed
history of the people and development of ideas at Harvard's Graduate
School of Design (where he was a student in the 1970s). The
foundation of the school by combining schools of architecture,
landscape architecture, and city planning; the presence and influence
at the school of well-known modernists such as Walter Gropius; the
development of modernist theories of design and their implementation;
and the intellectual and administrative trajectories of the school's
leaders and principle thinkers are some of the subjects. The book is
well illustrated with high quality plates.
