«Maledetti architetti: Dal Bauhaus a casa nostra» is Tom Wolfe's essay on architectural criticism, published by Bompiani in paperback (140 pages).
Tom Wolfe denounces how the International Style, promoted by Gropius and Le Corbusier, imposed an intellectual colonialism that filled cities with towers of glass and steel, without color or curves. The essay links that uniformity to the loss of urban quality of life and criticizes postmodernism for merely deforming the ghosts of the past.
Italian edition published in 1997; original work «From Bauhaus to Our House» (1981), translated by Pier Francesco Paolini.
For readers interested in architectural criticism, urbanism and Tom Wolfe's essays.
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Jr. was an American author and journalist widely known for his association with New Journalism, a style of news writing and journalism developed in the 1960s and 1970s that incorporated literary techniques. Much of Wolfe's work is satirical and centers on the counterculture of the 1960s and issues related to class, social status, and the lifestyles of the economic and intellectual elites of New York City.
