After critiquing--and infuriating--the art world with The Painted
Word, award-winning author Tom Wolfe shared his less than favorable
thoughts about modern architecture in From Bauhaus to Our Haus.
In this examination of the strange saga of twentieth century
architecture, Wolfe takes such European architects as Ludwig Mies van
der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus art school founder Walter Gropius to
task for their glass and steel box designed buildings that have
influenced--and infected--America's cities.
