Book excerpt: "Nauman argues that contrary to the technological and teleological interpretations presented by the polemicists of "international style" modernism, the academy's actual production was squarely grounded in bureaucratic and political processes. He demonstrates that selection of both the site and the design firm was the result of political maneuverings involving the U.S. military leadership."--BOOK JACKET.
