"Many of the great architectural innovators of the 20th century - Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, Greene and Greene, and Robert Venturi among others - have been drawn to the concept of total design, a comprehensive approach where interiors and exteriors are designed together as complete architectural works. That tradition is the subject of this volume, which traces the history of this interdisciplinary concept from its 19th century British adherents, the arts and crafts movement, via De Stijl, the Bauhaus, functionalism and the beginnings of postmodernism, to the new directions taken by contemporary architects."- Dust jacket.
