Notes: One of the earliest works to articulate the concept of expressionist architecture. Architecture is ‘towers, peaks, vaulting of the masses out of the bowels of the earth’. The author has absorbed the ideas of Scheerbart and the present work was published the same year as Bruno Taut’s ‘Alpine Architektur’
