Summary
As an architect and teacher at the Breslau Academy for Arts and Crafts, Adolf Rading (1888-1957) was one of the protagonists of New Building in the Weimar Republic. His projects, his writings and his commitment to cultural policy inspired students and colleagues. In the Werkbundsiedlung in Stuttgart in 1927, Adolf Rading was represented with a model house. The Werkbund exhibition Apartment and Workroom (WuWA), with which Breslau distinguished itself as a modern city in 1929, was the result of his initiative. With Oskar Schlemmer, who moved from the Bauhaus to Breslau, he created one of the most impressive modern houses in Zwenkau. The emigration in 1933 without returning to Germany and the division of Europe after 1945, which put Rading's place of work in Wroclaw out of sight, made the reception of his work difficult for a long time. The authors trace the architect's career and his networks and follow his path in exile in Haifa and London. Commented source texts make Rading's theoretical approaches accessible. The publication is in the context of current initiatives to preserve two large buildings by the architect in what is now Wroclaw
