Description

“I certainly would recommend to you to read my own book ‘Scope of Total Architecture’”

Highly influential German architect (1883–1969) who founded and designed the Bauhaus and whose other important buildings include the Harvard Graduate Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Pan Am Building in New York City. Letter to Mrs. Harry Thomson, in part: “I suggest that you may keep in touch with The Museum of Modern Arts in New York. The whole mentality of that Museum mirrors very much my own approach in architecture…The Museum publishes many books on various problems of this field, but I certainly would recommend to you to read my own book ‘Scope of Total Architecture’ in which I touch many of the modern problems, particularly from my experience as an educator at Harvard.” In fine condition, with trivial creasing to edges. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
