Description: "In Alpine Architecture, Bruno Taut projected the utopia of a conversion of the world, which would begin with an architectural reworking of the Alps, continue with building on and under the earth's crust, and extend even to the stars. This work of Expressionist architecture is published here for the first time with a detailed scholarly commentary. An illustrated essay and reproductions of the large-format original drawings combine to bring Taut's vision to life."--BOOK JACKET.
