his book – Behrendt’s principle theoretical work in German and the precursor to Modern Building – presents a revisionist concept of style that places equal emphasis on form and function. Behrendt calls on architects to return to basic geometries and to express the new social and economic realities and boldly advocates international modernism to the general public.
