Dixon Format: mp3 Length: 19 hrs and 28 mins Release date: 02-04-20 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 26 ratings Genres: Architecture Publisher's Summary: Fiona MacCarthy challenges the image of Gropius as a doctrinaire architectural rationalist, bringing out the visionary philosophy and courage that carried him through a politically hostile age. Pilloried by Tom Wolfe as inventor of the monolithic high-rise, Gropius is better remembered as inventor of a form of art education that influenced schools worldwide. He viewed argument as intrinsic to creativity. Unusually for one in his position, Gropius encouraged women's artistic endeavors and sought equal romantic partners.
