To this day, the oeuvre of Oskar Pixis has not received the
recognition it deserves. This may initially seem unsurprising,
since the architect himself, who was administrative head in the
office of Theodor Fischer - the leading south German architect of
the first third of the 20th century - claimed to have worked "only
in an auxiliary and not a creative capacity". He proved in
exemplary fashion, however, that architecture is a collective
effort. After all, the "master" would no doubt have built less and
perhaps differently if he had not been able to rely on the trusted
support of Pixis and a team of colleagues. From 1924 onwards, Pixis
began creating his own designs for residential buildings and
housing developments in and around Munich. The book presents his
work against a contemporary background and documents his Munich
buildings with a section of his catalogue.
