A highly original and innovative study that brings critical
social theory to bear on the ideas of architectural and design
education at the Bauhaus ? tracing the spread and influence of
these ideas worldwide.
Developed in post WW1 Germany, the principles of Bauhaus
architecture and design were transferred by some of its leading
figures to architecture schools at Harvard, Chicago and the IIT.
Yet in the postwar era, they also became increasingly influential
in architecture schools in Western and Central Europe, Japan, South
America, Africa and the Middle East. This book provides a critical
examination of the profound social, cultural and spatial
consequences of these developments and the erasure of class, race,
gender and culture which the ?modernisation? of design
embodied.
Written to appeal to an extensive readership, not only in the
fields of architectural and design education, but in architectural
history and in critical pedagogy more generally, it is also for
teachers and students in German art and cultural history and the
many architects worldwide who continue to be fascinated by the
ideas of the Bauhaus.
