Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, written following the First World War, considers the relationship between democracy and architecture. The author argues that prior to the war, democracy was a largely unrealized ideal, and building represented a false feudalism. The relentless power and grime of pre-war architecture mirrored the periodâs aggressive individualism and stifled beauty. The author identifies the need for a new architecture born of love, harmony, and worshipâ"one that reflects the emerging values of the democratic spirit. The author surveys the state of architecture in the warâs aftermath, highlighting the collaboration between engineers and designers. He discusses the work of Louis Sullivan, who rejected historical styles in favor of straightforwardness and functionality. The author also examines the housing problem, particularly for industrial workers, and the need for a new kind of community center, as exemplified by the servicemenâs clubhouses built during the war. The author concludes that democracy will ultimately find expression in an architecture of service and beauty, one that encourages community and self-expression. This architecture, he argues, will represent the fulfillment of the democratic ideal, with its focus on brotherhood and spiritual growth.
