The UK government has committed to reducing the nation’s carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. Buildings currently use almost half of the UK’s generated energy and they are now the focus of an unprecedented drive to cut energy use in our homes, offices, schools, libraries – in fact in almost every building, public or private.
"The Path of Modernism" takes the reader on an unusual journey in modern architecture, between Breslau and Dessau, from the World Cultural Heritage of the Centennial Hall (1913) to that of 1920s Bauhaus. It stops at Gorlitz, Dresden-Hellerau, Leipzig and Chemnitz along the way, discussing the history of the architecture and the process of their development. Many of the great modernist architects are gathered together here, from Hans Poelzig and Henry van de Velde to Heinrich Tessenow, Richard Riemerschmid, Hans Scharoun, Erich Mendelsohn and even Walter Gropius.
