The German-American architect, art critic, and urban planner Ludwig
Hilberseimer was central to avant-garde art and architecture in the
Weimar Republic, an important Bauhaus teacher, and long-standing
collaborator of leading modern architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Despite being internationally-known for his work on Lafayette Park
in Detroit, Hilberseimer’s legacy as a whole has been obscured in
the history of modern architecture. Whether this is due to the
intense shadow cast by Mies, or by his oeuvre being split between
the differing languages and contexts of interwar Germany and
postwar North America, this book argues that the time is now right
for a critical reassessment of Hilberseimer’s work and writings.
Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture
series, which brings to light the work of significant yet
overlooked modernist architects, this study clarifies and situates
Hilberseimer’s ideas both as an architect and writer, and
examines their influence on modern and contemporary architecture
and urbanism. The first synthetic account of Hilberseimer in
English, it provides a contextual account of Hilberseimer’s works
which have until now been subject to fragmentary or highly
specialized interpretations. By demonstrating the influence of
Hilberseimer’s ideas on the architecture of Mies van der Rohe,
the book also lends Mies’s work a newfound urban significance.
