Incorporating original archival work, this book presents a synthetic interpretation of Döllgast’s writings, drawings and designs. It argues that he was one of the most original architects of the twentieth century. Likened to figures such as Jose Plecnik and Carlo Scarpa, Döllgast has been an influence on leading architects including James Stirling, David Chipperfield and Eduardo Souto de Moura. From his professional beginnings in the ateliers of Richard Riemerschmid and Peter Behrens in the 1920s, Döllgast was simultaneously at the centre and the margins of modern architecture. The work of his maturity in his hometown of Munich has come to be recognised as richly significant and timely. As a pioneer of architectural responses to destruction that address questions of trauma and memory, it is important that Döllgast’s contributions become actively discussed.
Maximilian Sternberg is Professor of History and Theory of Architecture at Cambridge University and a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge.
