Full Description

A pioneer of architectural history

Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897-2000) entered the modernist canon with her "Frankfurt Kitchen." She is also considered a pioneer of social architecture, a women's rights activist, and, last but not least, a heroine of the resistance to the Nazi dictatorship.

In this book, recent research in the fields of art history, contemporary history, pedagogy, and gender studies provides a nuanced picture of Schütte-Lihotzky, whose estate is archived at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The volume explores her rich architectural oeuvre, her transnational experiences and professional networks, her political development as a Communist, and her current reception. It breaks through the mythology to present a rounded picture of Schütte-Lihotzky, an icon of architectural history.
