[C]ompelling overall... Alofsin's study decidedly raises the bar.

Book Description
A history of modernism in the teaching of architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning at Harvard. This book tells how modernism evolved in the most celebrated design school in America. Tracing developments at Harvard, whose Graduate School of Design was home from 1937 to 1952 of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, it shows that America had initiated its own modern agenda before the arrival of the European modernist ideology. 20 color and 250 black-and-white illustrations.
