Blueprint (Paperback)

At the beginning of the turbulent 1920s, Luise Schilling leaves her father's conservative household in Berlin for Weimar's Bauhaus university, with dreams of studying architecture. When she arrives and encounters a fractured social world of mystics and formalists, communists and fascists, the dichotomy between the rigid past and a hopeful future turns out to be a lot more muddled than she thought. A young woman's dispatch from a past culture war that rings all too familiar.
