Reply #9: Good architect but has supported Nazi philosophies [View All]

[McKenzie]

All my contemporaries at college loved his work but we were never told much about his r/w past.

Between 1932 and 1940, Johnson was an antisemite, fascist
sympathizer, and active propagandist for the Nazi government. The discipline of architecture has been largely silent on the issue of Johnson’s right-wing past even though Johnson’s political activities have long been the subject of gossip and plenty of material existed prior to the publication of the Schulze book. Johnson wrote extensively for right-wing organizations during the 1930s and his activities were covered in contemporary publications as well as in more recent histories of prewar movements in the extreme-Right.
