Bactra Review    The Psychology of Everyday Things

---

It pains me to report the following sentence, on p. 235: ``The full assessment of the emptiness of the architectural revolution is provided most efficiently by Tom Wolfe (1981), in his From Bauhaus to Our House'', as the latter book is almost enough to make one look kindly on Brasilia. He does, however, also recommend Peter Blake's infinitely superior Form Follows Fiasco (look for a review coming to a web page near here soon).
