Hardback. Condición: New. Text in English and German. In the years after 1933 several hundred architects were forced to emigrate from Germany by the National Socialist dictatorship. Between seventy and eighty of them went to Great Britain -- in part, prominent representatives of Modernism like Walter Gropius, Erich Mendelsohn, Erwin Gutkind, Arthur Korn and Marcel Breuer, but also less well known architects who had adopted very divergent positions. They found the architectural scene in Great Britain to be surprisingly conservative. Only a small circle of architects, clients and specialist journalists was open to modern design and construction methods and stylistic idioms. A few emigrants very quickly and successfully managed to gain a foothold in an environment that was for the most part unfamiliar to them, while for others exile meant a serious break in their career. Just a few months after his arrival in Great Britain, Erich Mendelsohn, together with Serge Chermayeff, won the prestigious competition for the De La Warr Pavilion in the southern English seaside resort of Bexhill (1933-35). The leisure centre is one of the most important examples of classic Modernism on the British Isles. Impington Village College (1936-39), which Walter Gropius designed in partnership with E. Maxwell Fry, also received a great deal of attention and had an impact on the development of British architecture. Furthermore, the spectrum of projects tackled by the emigrants ranged from houses to traffic structures and industrial buildings to buildings for Jewish communities and designs for exhibitions and shops. During this period German architects also left their mark in Great Britain as university lecturers, scientists and publicists. The book offers an overview of the topic and presents select buildings in detail. Moreover, hitherto largely unpublished documents from the estate of Walter Gropius provide a direct insight in-to his life and work in British exile.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In den Jahren nach 1933 waren mehrere hundert Architekten durch die nationalsozialistische Diktatur zur Emigration aus Deutschland gezwungen. Siebzig bis achtzig von ihnen gelang- ten nach Groß-britannien - zum Teil prominente Vertreter der Moderne wie Walter Gropius, Erich Mendelsohn, Erwin Gutkind, Arthur Korn und Marcel Breuer, aber auch weniger bekannte Architekten, die sehr unterschiedlichen Positionen verpflichtet waren.In Großbritannien trafen sie auf eine Architekturszene, die ihnen überraschend konservativ erschien. Nur ein kleiner Kreis von Architekten, Bauherren und Fachpublizisten stand modernen Entwurfsmethoden, Konstruktionsweisen und Formensprachen aufgeschlossen gegenüber. In dieser für sie meist fremden Umgebung Fuß zu fassen, gelang einigen Emigranten sehr rasch und erfolgreich, für andere war mit dem Exil ein gravierender Bruch in ihrer Karriere verbunden.Erich Mendelsohn gewann schon wenige Monate nach seiner Ankunft in Großbritannien gemeinsam mit Serge Chermayeff den prestigeträchtigen Wettbewerb für den De-La-Warr-Pavillon im südenglischen Seebad Bexhill (1933-35). Das Kurhaus zählt zu den bedeutendsten Zeugnissen der klassischen Moderne auf den Britischen Inseln. Auch das von Walter Gropius in Partnerschaft mit E. Maxwell Fry entworfene Impington Village College (1936-39) erfuhr starke Beachtung und beeinflußte die Entwicklung der einheimischen Architektur. Darüber hinaus reicht das Spektrum der Aufgaben, mit denen die Emigranten sich auseinandersetzten, von Wohnhäusern über Verkehrs- und Industriebauten bis zu Gebäuden für jüdische Gemeinden und zur Ausstellungs- und Ladengestaltung. Auch als Hochschullehrer, Wissenschaftler und Publizis-ten hinterließen deutsche Architekten zu dieser Zeit in Großbritan-nien Spuren.Das Buch bietet einen Überblick über das Thema und stellt ausgewählte Bauten im Detail vor. Bislang überwiegend unveröffentlichte Dokumente aus dem Nachlaß von Walter Gropius ermöglichen zudem einen unmittelbaren Einblick in das Leben und die Arbeit im britischen Exil.Andreas Schätzke lehrt Bau- und Stadtbaugeschichte an der Technischen Universität Kaiserslautern. Zu seinen Forschungs-gebieten zählen Architektur und Städtebau im Nachkriegseuropa und die Beziehungen zwischen Architektur, Politik und Gesellschaft im 20. Jahrhundert. …
