Stanford Anderson’s Peter Behrens and a New Architecture for the Twentieth Century traces how the German architect-engineer reshaped industrial design into modern architecture. This 444-page illustrated paperback from MIT Press explores Behrens’s pioneering work with AEG and his influence on Gropius, Mies, and Le Corbusier.

The book is in tidy, smoke-free condition: light cover scuffing, minor inner-cover notation, otherwise crisp pages without dog-ears. A previous owner has inscribed a brief gift note, adding character without author signature.

Ideal for students, architects, or anyone fascinated by twentieth-century design history, the volume pairs scholarly depth with over 300 photographs and plans. Its generous format (222 mm) showcases Behrens’s factories, pavilions, and typographic systems in clear detail.

A well-preserved copy of a respected reference, ready to anchor an architecture or cultural-history shelf.
