Summary:

"The architecture of Expressionism heralded the onset of the Roaring Twenties. Unlike the architecture that arose from the Bauhaus in the same era, the Expressionist architectural sense grasps for complexity, vertical enhancement and dramatization. The surviving buildings of the Expressionist utopia are fascinating in their search for forms and their skillful use of light, colour and material. Fragments of Metropolis documents with contemporary colour photography and drawings all 135 surviving buildings in Berlin and its vicinity, arguably the movement's most important centre. A detailed index and maps complete this reference work.":-- Book display.
