WUWA ( 2021 ) - part 2

WUWA housing exhibition (German. Wohnungs- und Werkraumausstellung = Housing and Workplace Exhibition) in Wrocław - organized in 1929 by the Silesian Deutscher Werkbund union in the Dąbie district near Szczytnicki Park and on the fairgrounds adjacent to the Centennial Hall.

Heinrich Lauterbach, founder of the Silesian Werkbund union, contributed most to the organization of the exhibition. Together with Adolf Rading, he took over the artistic direction of the exhibition.

The goal of WUWA was to present proposals for small and medium-sized apartments, a new form of houses, taking into account technological aspects. The buildings built were to be low-cost; efforts were made to ensure that each apartment user would get his own place, isolated from others.

I started this tumblr 2013 as a platform to visualize the research of my doctoral thesis „Vom Stil zum Programm. Friedrich Nietzsche und der Deutsche Werkbund“ (Towards a Programmatic Architecture. Friedrich Nietzsche and the German Werkbund), which analyzes the influence of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche upon the founding of the german German Werkbund in its early phase between 1907 and 1914. The research should open an alternative view of the intellectual fundamentals of architectural modernism, by focussing on the strong - but until today hidden - connections between the crisis of architecture at the end of the 19th century, the hope connected with an artistic life and the role model of the era of Attic tragedy postulated by Friedrich Nietzsche. At the end of 2018 the thesis, which was supervised by the Chair of architectural theory Gerd de Bruyn and the chair of architectural history Klaus Jan Philipp at the University of Stuttgart has finally been published. It can be viewed and downloaded HERE

Unfortunately for my english speaking readers the thesis is written and published in german, but on page 13 you can find an english written abstract to give you a short overview view of the work.

Thanks to all of you for following this tumblr!
