First
of all I think this book is very hard to understand. However, in my response, I
think this book is the author perspective toward the modern architecture and
show his passion in modern architecture, seem like a good book for modernism
lovers’. At first Wolf try to give a background of historical event in
architecture on how did modern architecture started. The book gives the idea on
how the modern architect have come in place and also mention a lot of architect
who involved in Modernism.
In the
first chapter he had mention about the system of architecture school named Bauhaus School, in Weimar. The school must produce a
creative ideas and theories of classical architecture. So later Bauhaus came up with one methods and a
way to practice that can be used in school, which is “art and technology”.
After the war in Europe, the architect from Bauhaus school
must migrate to USA. After read this chapter, I just realize that Modern
Architecture came from Europe, I always thought that it came from USA.
Wolf mentions many architect name, but there is one name that
I familiar with the most is Frank Lloyd Wright. He was considering as one of
the most influential architect in history, which I think it’s true. Frank was
one of the very first who design the modern architecture. Most of his work
might look simple plane and flat, but actually there are many meaning toward
it.
In
conclusion, after reading this book I appreciate the modern architecture, it’s
not just a simple concrete wall, flat opening, but actually there is more
things in it rather than its appearance.
