Carl M\u00fchlenpfordt (1878-1944) returns to his place of work in Braunschweig, where he worked at the Braunschweig Polytechnic after the end of the First World War. He reformed the architecture faculty into an educational institution that later became known as the “Braunschweiger Schule” ( Braunschweig School) through the network of his students. Today, the architect and university lecturer is largely unknown, although he called for a “New Contemporary Art” for the imperial era and the Weimar Republic – driven by a belief in continuity and a desire for reform. The exhibition and the accompanying book “M\u00fchlenpfordt – Neue Zeitkunst. Reform Architektur und Hochschullehre” (M\u00fchlenpfordt – New Contemporary Art. Reform Architecture and University Teaching) offer a multi-layered contextualisation of the architect’s life and work. Aspects of reform architecture and life reform are discussed, as are questions about the mood of reform architects in the early 20th century. Finally, a look at M\u00fchlenpfordt points to the topicality of his search for identity in the built environment in current debates about the city and architecture of the future.<\/p>\n
