From Bauhaus to Our House

created by BeauRed

A light hearted look at the evolution from the German Bauhaus style of architecture to the International Style skyscrapers that litter the skyline of the modern city written by Tom Wolfe.

By far the funniest book on Architecture i have ever read. Although not a comprehensive history it is quite a handy book if a quick overview is what is needed.
