THE FABRIC OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE Otti Berger created fabrics that
fundamentally changed the understanding of what textiles could be
and do. A core member of the experimental approach to textiles at
the Bauhaus, she also was a female entrepreneur in the frenzied
time that was the early 1930s in Berlin. Working closely with
architects of the New Objectivity movement such as Lilly Reich,
Ludwig Hilberseimer and Hans Scharoun, she designed upholstery and
wall tapestries, curtains and floor coverings that responded to
novel types of use and production methods, and thereby redefined
the relationship between aesthetics and function - with fascinating
results. To date Berger's textile work has only been explored in
fragments. This book is the first comprehensive study of its
complexity and beauty and makes her hitherto unpublished treatise
on fabrics and the methodology of textile production accessible. By
systematically arranging the fabrics according to their
application, Raum's research offers an entirely new perspective on
Berger's oeuvre that emphasizes the craftsmanship and
entrepreneurial side of her work, and appreciates the largely
unrecognized significance of textiles in the history of
architecture and design.
This publication assembles six conversations recorded in Berlin
between Heimo Lattner and colleagues. The conversations explore key
issues in Lattner's work, from Greek theater to city development
and ancient forms of communication threatened by political
interests.

audio-play, room installation, installation and intervention in
public space, drawing, cartography and writing. Since the late 90s
he has also worked in the collective e-Xplo with Erin McGonigle and
Rene Gabri, developing interventions in public space. Lattner is a
founding member and co-operator of the project space General Public
in Berlin. He is a guest lecturer at several universities in the
