Description

Logos pervades every aspect of our lives, including the built environment. The kind of buildings we build depends on who we are and how we define ourselves in relation to Logos. The post World War II building boom that spread Bauhaus architecture throughout the world caused two reactions: one Catholic, the other Jewish. The Logos of Architecture and Its Opponents describes the architecturally surprising but ethnically predictable reactions of Thomas Gordon Smith and Frank Gehry to the tyranny of Bauhaus architecture. Searing cultural analysis by E. Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars magazine and author of Living Machines: Bauhaus Architecture as Sexual Ideology. **
