This catalogue of the Palladio and His Legacy exhibition, centred on original drawings and books by the most significant and influential architect in the western world, Andrea Palladio (1508-80), examines his personal development and architecture, his influence on others achieved through his I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura, the subsequent dissemination of his teachings through translations and pattern books in Britain and America, and the influence of Palladianism on architecture in the New World. The promulgation of Palladian principles resulted in new and original interpretations that took firm hold in America, influencing both grand formal buildings and smaller utilitarian structures. The drawings are supported by numerous architectural models. Three large examples--the Pantheon, Villa Rotunda, and Jefferson's unrealized design for the White House--programmatically illustrate the journey from Rome to America. Smaller models along with rare architectural texts and pattern books, through which Palladio's ideas were primarily transmitted, reinforce the themes of the book.

At the beginning of the 20th century, social order seemed to be disintegrating. Architects in Sweden and Germany reacted to this trend by means of "social engineering". Into the 1960s they attempted to overcome the negative consequences of modernization with the very scientific and technical means that created the situation in the first place. They ordered "space" in order to turn society back into "community". Kuchenbuch shows through the examples of German and Swedish architectural discourse that social engineering may be described as transnational formation. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts schien die soziale Ordnung zu zerfallen. Darauf reagierten Architekten in Schweden und Deutschland mittels Social Engineering: Bis in die 1960er Jahre hinein versuchten sie, die negativen Folgen der Modernisierung mit den wissenschaftlichen und technischen Verfahren zu überwinden, die diese selbst bereitstellte. Sie ordneten den Raum, um die zerfallende Gesellschaft wieder in eine Gemeinschaft zu verwandeln - im "Dritten Reich", im schwedischen "Volks-Heim" und darüber hinaus. David Kuchenbuch zeigt am Beispiel deutscher und schwedischer Architekturdiskurse im 20. Jahrhundert, dass sich das "Social Engineering" in der Moderne als transnationale Formation beschreiben lässt.
