Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-21 00:00:00 Perry Vine I'm sympathetic to the sentiment of this book --- that modernist architecture's claims to represent the common man's aesthetic went terribly awry --- this book disappointed my hopes that it would be the all-in-one smackdown of modernism. It suffers from being an combination of new material and adaptations of essays taken from multiple sources, so we get a first part that pretty much says all he wants to say and then feels padded by a bunch of talk of specifics limited to public housing in New York City. I was hoping for something deeper and more universal.
