Onder het motto less is more ontwierp de Duits-Amerikaanse architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) vooral gebouwen en meubels die gekenmerkt worden door eenvoudige, heldere vormen en het veelvuldige gebruik van glas, staal en beton. Van der Rohe stond onder invloed van de strakke, modernistische kunststroming Bauhaus, wat onder meer af te lezen valt van zijn intussen klassiek geworden Barcelonastoel en het Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois. Als bezieler van de Internationale Stijl was Van der Rohe ook de geestelijke vader van de 'standaardwolkenkrabber', zoals de Seagram Building in New York, in feite niet veel meer dan een blokvormig, met glas opgevuld, stalen raamwerk. Als zodanig heeft Van der Rohe een onmetelijke invloed gehad op de skyline van zowat elke wereldstad.

Reinhold Martin and Claire Zimmerman bring together essays from an array of scholars exploring the troubled relationship between architecture and antidemocratic politics. Comprising detailed case studies throughout the world spanning from the early nineteenth century to the present, Architecture against Democracy analyzes crucial occasions when the built environment has been harnessed as an instrument of authoritarian power. Alongside chapters focusing on paradigmatic episodes from twentieth-century German and Italian fascism, the contributors examine historic and contemporary events and subjects that are organized thematically, including the founding of the Smithsonian Institution, Ellis Island infrastructure, the aftermath of the Paris Commune, Cold War West Germany and Iraq, Frank Lloyd Wright’s domestic architecture, and Istanbul’s Taksim Square. Through the range and depth of these accounts, Architecture against Democracy presents a selective overview of antidemocratic processes as they unfold in the built environment throughout Western modernity, offering an architectural history of the recent “nationalist international.” As new forms of nationalism and authoritarian rule proliferate across the globe, this timely collection offers fresh understandings of the role of architecture in the opposition to democracy.
