“Looking Back at Nazi Buildings: Some Reflections on Architecture and Ideology”

In light of recent scholarship on Nazi architecture, Professor Lane will offer reflections on the international reception of her first book, Architecture and Politics in Germany 1918-1945 (originally published in 1968 and reissued in 1985). Raising questions about how to evaluate political content in architecture, she will consider connections between political ideology and the style, function, and memories of buildings.
