The architectural work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt (1890–1954/1889–1972) is not yet adequately appreciated. As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin’s Alexanderplatz.

While their early work was anchored in utopian expressionism, a more objective attitude emerged later, based on the application of new architectural constructs.
The book documents all 40 of Hans und Wassili Luckhardt’s realized buildings. Two essays deal with the unbuilt and utopian projects.

Newly taken photographs and newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn complement the historical illustrations.

• Comprehensive documentation of the work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt.
