Heinrich Tessenow was one of the most influential modernist architects in Germany. As one of the reformers in the Deutscher Werkbund, he built the Festspielhaus in Hellerau, the first garden city in Germany. With his house designs, in which he developed an iconic simplicity, he influenced several generations of house building. His metropolitan designs were also characterized by formal clarity without appearing abstract.
The Baukunstarchiv NRW is showing a comprehensive exhibition of works by Heinrich Tessenow, which the Swiss architect Martin Boesch developed for the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio over many years of research, and which was also on display at the Stadtmuseum Dresden. The exhibition can be discovered in Dortmund until June 23. A guided tour of the exhibition with exhibition curator Martin Boesch will be offered on June 22.
Participation is free of charge. Please register for the event at: info@baukunstarchiv.nrw
