- This 125,000 word book provides a new, in-depth interpretation of German 20th-century modern architecture and design, tracing modernism’s many manifestations of luxury and revealing the complexities and contradictions inherent to modernism’s promotion and consumption. This extensive, interdisciplinary investigation resulted from twelve years of research and writing, including archival work which excavated little-known primary documents and photographic material, much of which was then published for the first time. The book was supported by major grants from the Society of Architectural Historians/Mellon and the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst and was a finalist for two prizes.
