The late Peter Blake, an architect, once served as head of the architecture and design department of the Museum of Modern Art, editor in chief of Architectural Forum, and chairman of the department of architecture at Catholic University.
No Place Like Utopia has a deep theme: how modern architecture, born and raised between the wars and after with a strong sense of social and political idealism, gradually fell back in the 1960s into its ancient role as an elitist pursuit dedicated to flattering the rich and powerful.
