I must confess, however, that for decades the city re- mained only a remote name since my father’s family had all fled or been mur- dered by the Nazis, and Breslau after the war became Wroclaw, a Polish city situated behind the Iron Curtain that was virtually inaccessible to those of us in the West.

Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda).

  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

  • Shifts in Modernist Architects' Design Thinking
    arts Article Function and Form: Shifts in Modernist Architects’ Design Thinking Atli Magnus Seelow Department of Architecture, Chalmers University of Technology, Sven Hultins Gata 6, 41296 Gothenburg, Sweden; [email protected]; Tel.: +46-72-968-88-85 Academic Editor: Marco Sosa Received: 22 August 2016; Accepted: 3 November 2016; Published: 9 January 2017 Abstract: Since the so-called “type-debate” at the 1914 Werkbund Exhibition in Cologne—on individual versus standardized types—the discussion about turning Function into Form has been an important topic in Architectural Theory. The aim of this article is to trace the historic shifts in the relationship between Function and Form: First, how Functional Thinking was turned into an Art Form; this orginates in the Werkbund concept of artistic refinement of industrial production. Second, how Functional Analysis was applied to design and production processes, focused on certain aspects, such as economic management or floor plan design. Third, how Architectural Function was used as a social or political argument; this is of particular interest during the interwar years. A comparison of theses different aspects of the relationship between Function and Form reveals that it has undergone fundamental shifts—from Art to Science and Politics—that are tied to historic developments. It is interesting to note that this happens in a short period of time in the first half of the 20th Century. Looking at these historic shifts not only sheds new light on the creative process in Modern Architecture, this may also serve as a stepstone towards a new rethinking of Function and Form. Keywords: Modern Architecture; functionalism; form; art; science; politics 1.

  • Transfers of Modernism: Constructing Soviet Postwar Urbanity
    Transfers of Modernism: Constructing Soviet Postwar Urbanity The housing shortage during the postwar period has brought a new surge in the development of prefabrication technologies, especially in 1950s East Germany, France and the Soviet Union— the countries that suffered significant physical damage from the war. Although the prefabrication building techniques were evidently not an invention of the MASHA PANTELEYEVA 1950s and there has been a long tradition of similar types of construction and experi- Princeton University mentation in building culture, the need for a new and improved efficiency in construction rapidly emerged in the situation of an extreme postwar housing crisis. Formed by the multiple geopolitical and economic aspects of the postwar architectural context, the new method focused on the construction with large concrete panels prefabricated offsite, which allowed cutting down production costs and significantly reducing time of construc- tion. This development was inseparable from architecture’s political and social context: most of the building associated with the new typology in the reconstruction period was subsidized by the state, characterized by the intense involvement of political figures. Originally developed in France with the initiative of the Ministry of Reconstruction and Urbanism in the late 1940s, the large-panel system building experienced a rapid adapta- tion across Europe: its aesthetic and technological qualities underwent “back-and-forth” cultural alterations between the countries, and eventually determined the failure of the system in the West, and its long-lasting success in Eastern Europe. The technological basis of most European prefabricated buildings was developed in European states with stable social-democratic policies, particularly in Scandinavia, Great Britain, and France.

    Heike Hambrock Marlene Moeschke - Mitarbeiterin? Das wiederentdeckte Werk der Bildhauerin und Architektin liefert neue Er­ kenntnisse über Hans Poelzigs Großes Schauspielhaus in Berlin. In Johann Jacob Bachofens Mutterrecht von 1861, dessen Lektüre für viele Künstler Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts belegt ist, werden in einer archaisch anmutenden sexu­ ellen Symbolik Mann und Frau zum Gegensatzpaar Sonne (männlich, aktiv, Moder­ ne) und Mond (weiblich, passiv, Urmythos) stilisiert.1 In der Beschwörung eines >Urmythos< erklärt Bachofen die Frau zum universellen Lebenselement, Magna Ma­ ter, die im Einklang mit der Schöpfung der Natur stehe, deren Erkenntnis dem Mann ­ das Gegenbild der Moderne ­ verwehrt sei. Aufgrund ihrer weiblichen Natur sei die Frau allerdings weder fähig zu qualifiziertem wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten, noch zu technischer Höchstleistung oder künstlerischem Höhenflug. Im Sonnenmythos von Nietzsches Zarathustra vermag allein der Künstler als Geistesmensch, im Kampf mit sich selbst und der Materie Kunstwerke zu erschaffen. Die Frau gilt ge­ meinhin als Muse und Inspiration. Im Atelier des Künstlers wird sie nur als Modell oder Mutter der Kinder akzeptiert, ihre körperliche und geistige Präsenz ansonsten als Bedrohung der männlichen Energie wahrgenommen. Auf hohem künstlerischen Niveau findet sich der hier nur angedeutete Geschlechterkampf der Moderne in Os­ kar Kokoschkas Dramen und Grafikzyklen reflektiert.2 Allerdings kommt der um 1916 bis 1919 mit dem Architekten und damaligen Stadtbaurat Hans Poelzig (1869­ 1936) in Dresden freundschaftlich verkehrende Künstler zu der für die Zeit untypi­ schen Erkenntnis einer geschlechtlichen Gleichberechtigung. Der konservative Kunst­ und Architekturkritiker Karl Scheffler mochte demgegenüber der Frau nur die Rolle der >dilettierenden Hausfrau< zugestehen;3 selbst im Kunstgewerbe hatte sie als eigenständige Künstlerin in der wilhelminischen Gesellschaft keinen Platz.
