Reviews
The Taylorized Beauty of the Mechanical is an ambitious work. Mauro Guillen draws from an abundance of sources, both contemporary and recent, to support his hypothesis that there was a connection between the rise of scientific management and the development of modernist architecture... Guillen has written an excellent comparative study that will appeal both to business historians and to architectural and design historians. -- Per H. Hansen, Business History Review Guilln ... offers a unique and bold explanation of the differential development of modern architecture internationally... Guilln's analysis of modern architecture is impressive and inventive. If his answers are not definitive, he certainly asks the right questions and, consequently, greatly advances the sociological study of architecture. -- David Gartman, American Journal of Sociology Mauro F. Guilln contributes to the scholarship on architectural Modernism with an interesting twist with approaching the architectural history literature from a joint managerial and sociological viewpoint... [T]his survey will be of interest to specialists and non-specialists alike. -- Guillaume Evrard, European Legacy
