In this fascinating account, Haney forensically examines a range of 'cultural landscapes' each conceived to express an aspect of Nazi mythology. Professor Murray Fraser, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London This meticulously researched book alerts us to the geopolitical underpinnings of the National Socialist cultural landscape. Never one to bore his readers, David Haney will transform the way in which historians and general readers understand Nazi architectural production. Associate Professor Ian Klinke, School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford

Author Information

David H. Haney is an architectural historian whose research focuses on the relationship between architecture, landscape, ecology, and geography. His monograph on the German modernist landscape architect Leberecht Migge (1881–1935), When Modern was Green (Routledge, 2010), was the first study to reassert the critical role of ecological thinking in Weimar modern architecture. He received his PhD in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania (US) in 2005 and his Master of Environmental Design from Yale University (US) in 1995. From 2005 to 2018 he taught in the architecture schools of the University of Kent and Newcastle University in England. He has lectured widely and has been the recipient of a number of awards including a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship (2015–2016) and the SAH Elisabeth Blair MacDougall Award (2013).
