Reviews
"Anyone interested in the...question of what consituted "modern" in the first half of the 20th century, should read this book.", Alofsin does a fine job of introducing readers in the postmodern era to the social and political roots of [the] genre., Anyone interested in the...question of what consituted modern in the first half of the 20th century, should read this book., [C]ompelling overall. First-hand, up-close, and in-depth examinations of the early American architecture, landscape, and city-planning schools as the complex entities they were during the first half of the twentieth century in America are sadly lacking. Alofsin's study decidedly raises the bar. Full of precise details, his prose is smooth, and the book is amply and informatively illustrated., Anthony Alofsin's excellent history of design education at Harvard portrays GSD culture with depth and detail.

Synopsis
This remarkable volume tells the unique history of modernism as reflected in the teaching of architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. Tracing developments at the GSD, which was home from 1937 to 1952 of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Anthony Alofsin reveals that America had initiated its own modern agenda before the arrival of the European modernist ideology. Filled with archival photographs and plans that have never been published before, this book will be of great interest to students and professionals in the fields of art, architecture, and design, as well as to architectural historians., A history of modernism in the teaching of architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning at Harvard.
