"The Painted Word" is also fantastic, if you liked "From Bauhaus to Our House". Similar approach.

Yes, that is a great book as well.

I think "From Bauhause to Our House" is more important because we can survive a period of terrible art: most people will simply ignore it and when it is over you can throw most of it into the dumpster easily enough.

Unfortunately we are not free to ignore the work of architects, and correcting their mistakes will take us centuries.
