May Thomas Democracy in Europe

Wise, Michael Z., Capital Dilemma. Germany's Search for a New Architecture of Democracy. New York, Princeton Architectural Press 1998.
'Thomas Jefferson may have deemed classical forms to be ideally suited to the expression of American democracy, but in the Federal Republic of Germany these same forms often bring out a response that is almost phobic,' writes Michael Wise in this book on the chronic controversy surrounding postwar German public architecture. A journalist who has covered Central Europe, Wise brings narrative flair and thoroughgoing research to this story of the politics, aesthetics, and historical implications of Germany's decision, following reunification, to move its government seat from Bonn to Berlin (Verlagstext). - Einbd. gering stockfl., ansonsten sehr guter Zustand.
