Exploring the intersection of modernist architecture and scientific management, this book delves into the historical context of early 20th-century industrialization. It highlights how the rationalized machine world, epitomized by figures like Henry Ford and Frederick Winslow Taylor, initially inspired aesthetic beauty in design. However, as the dream of efficiency evolved into a dehumanizing reality, the narrative shifts to reflect on how these principles significantly transformed architectural practice, blending romance and functionality in a new era.
