For years one of Germany's foremost cultural organizations, the
Werkbund included in its membership such pioneers of the modern
movement as Henry van de Velde, Hermann Muthesius, Walter Gropius,
and Mies van der Rohe. Joan Campbell traces its history from its
founding in 1907 to 1934, when it was absorbed into the bureaucracy
of the National Socialist State. The Werkbund set out to prove that
organized effort could revitalize the applied arts and
architecture. In addition to acting as an agent of reform, it
provided a forum for the debate of such broad concerns as the need
to restore joy and dignity to work in modem industry. Originally
published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
