The Victory of the New Building Style

by Walter Behrendt, Detlef Mertins (Introduction), Harry Mallgrave (Translator)

Overview

This book-Behrendt's principle theoretical work in German and the precursor to Modern Building- presents a revisionist concept of style that places equal emphasis on form and function. Now available in English for the first time, this incisive treatise boldly advocates international modernism to the general public.
