Klein-Berlin in Gross-Prag

What do we think of when we talk about German architecture and the influence of the German cultural environment? Lenka Kerdová asked herself this question about the numerous houses that were designed by German-speaking architects in Prague between the two world wars. She did not imagine it as a uniform block, on the contrary, she tried to look for differences between the works of German-speaking architects in Prague, which result from their different origins, training and ambitions. How did German architecture in interwar Prague differ from the buildings of the Czech majority? What made it seem more conservative than Czech functionalism? What is its place in the context of construction production in German and Central European cities? While searching for answers to these questions, Lenka Kerdová managed to write an extremely revealing book, the first of its kind, which reveals hitherto unknown facts and connections. Bilingual edition – Czech and Geman.
