Description
The Path of Modernismtakes the reader on an unusual journey in modern architecture, between Breslau and Dessau, from the World Cultural Heritage of the Centennial Hall (1913) to that of 1920s Bauhaus. It stops at Grlitz, Dresden-Hellerau, Leipzig and Chemnitz along the way, discussing the history of the architecture and the process of their development.
Many of the great modernist architects are gathered together here, from Hans Poelzig and Henry van de Velde to Heinrich Tessenow, Richard Riemerschmid, Hans Scharoun, Erich Mendelsohn and even Walter Gropius. But the focus is also on the cities themselves; at a very early date, their progressive building councillors thought hard about European urban development about buildings ranging from striking tower blocks to top-quality mass housing .This publication illustrates an important chapter of German architectural history in an original, condensed-format travel guide.
