From Bauhaus to Our House Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book made me realize Tom Wolfe knows nothing about architecture or art. "

" Last read this book when I was in Art History. Now that I am in Preservation I wonder if I will look at if differently. "

" Buku yang sangat menarik. Tom Wolfe dengan lihai menceritakan kepada kita tentang transisi dari era klasik, modern hingga postmodern. "

" Came across this book in my grandparents' collection shortly after taking a modern architecture class. Spot on! Loved it! Had me chuckling - and laughing out loud - all the way through. "

" A book that makes zero attempt to avoid bias and, in doing so, is equal parts hilarious and infuriating. Quick, surprisingly engaging read for such a textbook topic. "

" I could read this book over and over. "

" This slim volume tells the history of modern architecture (up to 1981) to mock it as elitist. Entertaining, to a point, but it must be observed that Tom Wolfe, the dandy in the white suit, makes an unlikely (and unpersuasive) champion of the common man's taste. "

" I'm sure this is the wittiest book about 20th Century architecture I will ever read. "

" A brutal smack-down of modernist architecture. Don't let the five stars fool you, I don't agree with much of what Wolfe has to say, but how he says is most agreeable. "

" I love this cynical and historical take on modern architecture. "

" Wolfe hates everything. Here, he sneers at modern architecture, which I am inclined to sneer at myself. "

" Loved it. I wish he'd write a second edition, covering the last thirty years... "

" I had no idea that a book on such an (to-me) obscure subject would shape my life to fundamentally. "

" One of my absolute favorite Tom Wolfe titles! This is a great (and short) read for anyone who loves architecture. It will make you think. "

" So So So funny and informative! Not hard to keep track of schools/movements with Wolfe. Concise and witty as hell. "

" I think I was better able to appreciate Wolfe's wit and his criticism of modern architecture now than I would have been way back when I was a student. "

" who knew a book about early 20th century architecture could be so funny and searing? "

" Thank you Tom Wolfe for perfectly pinpointing everything wrong with modern architecture. This book helped put in perspective all my anger and frustration with my architecture lecture classes. See you in hell Eisenman. "

" I had some great laugh-out-loud moments, but Wolfe was way too disparaging toward the International Style and Bauhaus for me to believe that he was being objective. Still, a fun read, and I learned a lot about architecture! "
