What do we think of when we talk about German architecture and the influence of the German cultural environment? Lenka Kerdova asked herself this question about the numerous houses designed by German-speaking architects in Prague between the two world wars. She did not imagine it as a homogeneous block, but rather tried to look for differences between the Prague works of German-speaking architects that resulted from their different backgrounds, training and ambitions, and the different demands of their clientele. How did German architecture in interwar Prague differ from the buildings of the Czech majority? What made it appear more conservative than Czech functionalism? What is its place in the context of the building production of German and Central European cities? In her search for answers to these questions, Lenka Kerdova has succeeded in writing an extraordinarily revealing book, the first of its kind to uncover previously unknown facts and connections. Bilingual edition.
