Deskripsi
A book review of Robin Schuldenfrei, <i>Luxury and Modernism: Architecture and the Object in Germany 1900−1933</i> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2018). This book challenges the canonical interpretation of two of the most revered institutions in the history of modern architecture—the Werkbund and the Bauhaus—and presents a critical interpretation of the relationship between modern architecture and luxury, which first appeared a generation ago.
