Beschreibung
A devastating critique of the Modernist Movement: from the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier, through destructive Modernism-inspired urban planning of the post-war years, it questions how increasingly unequal and dysfunctional societies have been affected by self-serving, self-appointed elites hell-bent on creating an alienating, empathy-less Dystopia.
