>After reading it, From my understanding, the reason that Wolfe is against the idea of Bauhaus and modernism is because the from it too simple and it is the same in design. For example, glass box, flat roof, white colour. I also really like the idea of the future architecture in the texts "no longer depend on the patronage of the nobility ex merchant, the state client. " you have to accept the form with no alteration, special order loud talk from client.
>In the old day, Egypt, Greek and Roman,the architecture is more than a building, house, or public. It is also a hidden message to the people or contain a religious means in to an architecture. Like the pyramid , or Parthenon. The architecture used to be huge and used to be a visual representation of the glory, the achievement, power and also it transfer the culture value. However, they did not really focus on the functional of the architecture. In other words, to minimize the architecture for it function only. On the other hand, Bauhaus style aims to create simple building not a grand scale and elaborate because they are focus on the usage. For instance, the worker housing. American architect bring the style and develop it to be modernism.
> For example : Small House
It is a house designed by Kazuyo sejima. (SAAN). The house located in the middle of Tokyo. The objective of the house is try to maximize the space. The method that use in the construction is stacking in that each floor has different height and weight. The building is modern and focus on the functionality of the building.
