Abstract
German visionary architects such as Scharoun, Finsterlin, Luckhardt, Taut planned their Wagnerian dreams with glass palaces in the Alps, as did Italians such as Sant' Elia and Chiattone. Then, Bauhaus and the functionalist faith - Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, le Corbusier, and the worldwide spread of the glass-box international style, with their concomitant social programs and delusions. The great myth of the architect as social legislator culminated in the town plans of le Corbusier, the speculations of Buckminster Fuller and came to an end in the strange wasteland of Brasilia. Join Robert Hughes as he presents the concepts of modern architecture, Chicago style, city planning, modernist architects, and the Bauhaus school of design, as well as architects Scharoun, Finsterlin, Luckhardt, Taut, Sant' Elia, Chiattone, and Mies van der Rohe. This series is Robert Hughes' history of Modern Art from Cubism to Pop and the Avant-Garde.
