About this Item

xv, 298 pages: illustrations; 26 cm. "Demonstrating a concern with on-going modernism, Masheck's essays guide the reader through the anti-modernist polemics of the 1970s and 1980s." ?Publisher. // Contents: Bentham's Panopticon: an architectural perpetration. Politics of style: Dublin Pro-Cathedral in the Greek Revival. An American utopian schoolhouse design. Note on Sullivan and the rarefaction of bodily beauty. De Chirico's pathos of lost antiquity. Textual life of the living machine. Reflections in onyx on Mies van der Rohe. Post tenebras lux: speculations on Ronchamp. Kahn: the anxious classicist. Crystalline form, Worringer, and the minimalism of Tony Smith. Form behind concept: the Bechers' imaging of industrial architecture. Classical sass: notes on soft postmodernism. Tired tropes: cathedral versus bicycle shed: "duck" versus "decorated shed." Fine with very faint wear to corners.
