Figures of architecture and thought : german architecture culture ; 1880 - 1920
The debate over the meaning of modernity was waged with unparallel brilliance by German architects and intellectuals at the close of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. - The key concepts centered about such terms as "home", "dwelling", "project", and "language". Among the protagonists were figures like Peter Behrens, Henry van de Velde, and Hermann Muthesius; Alois Riegl, Georg Simmel, and Georg Lukács; Friedrich Nietzsche, Oswald Spengler and Martin Heidegger. - In four t hematically interwoven chapters - including essays on the German Werkbund and the intellectual background of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe - the author acutely interprets a cultural mileu that gave birth to the modern movement in Germany and Europe. - An anthology of important primary documents - with writings by Hermann Hesse, Heinrich Tessenow, Adolf Behne and others - concludes the book
