Drawing both on the work of modern theorists like Georg Lukacs, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Siegfried Kracauer and on more recent poststructuralist thought, K.

Michael Hays creates an entirely new method of reading architectural production.

Challenging much of the traditional wisdom about modernism and the avant-garde, Hays argues that a rigorously articulated "posthumanist" position was actually developed in the modernist architecture of Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Hilberseimer.

He reinterprets their buildings, projects, and writings as constructions of this new category of subjectivity.
