 Tessenow's Architecture as National Allegory: Critique of Capitalism or Protofascism?
Tessenow's conception of typology is not dissimilar, despite his exaltation of the individual architect's métier in controlling form within a type.
Tessenow was not a revivalist; by practicing a reduced typological conception of design, he did not aim at reasserting preindustrial spatial or figurative models in the hope that through some behavioral contagion, life might again become preindustrially virtuous.
Exteriority vs. Allegory: Tessenow and Loos II Tessenow's protofascism is manifest in the creation of an illusory unity and totality that conceals its specific historical position and particularity through allegorical procedures, which may be elucidated in a second comparison, between the Looshaus in the Michaelerplatz (1909-11) and Tessenow's School for Rhythmical Gymnastics in Hellerau (1910).
