From Bauhaus to modern house

I am reading Tom Wolfe's "from Bauhaus to our house", which describes the rise of modern archtiecture, in particular in the Uniited Staes. In the first chapter he describes the adventure of Bauhaus, whith his aim of starting again from zero. A funny book, very well written, but I'am afraid that it misses entirely the point. The poitn was not Bauhaus against Art Nouveau, but Bauhaus agaisnt the eclectism and the neogothic. Art Nouveau was and avant-garde, but the style of XIX century was for instance that of the rail station of Milan, which is a false. The revolt was not against bourgeoisie (although after the Russian Revolution a reference to socialism was obvious), but against hypochrysy, and the pure forms of modern architecture were a revolt against untruth.
