"This book examines the transformation of transparency as a metaphor in West German political thought to an analogy for democratic architecture, questioning the prevailing assumption in German architectural circles that transparency in governmental buildings can be equated with openness, accessibility, and greater democracy." "Transparency is an important issue in contemporary architectural practice; this book will appeal to both the practicing architect and the architectural historian."--BOOK JACKET.
