William Mann reflects on the work of the highly influential German architect Hans Döllgast.
In the immediate post-war period, Hans Döllgast (1891-1974) transformed the ruins of a series of emblematic public buildings in Munich, inserting economical structures of raw brick, slender steel and filigree wood in full contact with the broken remains.
These projects sit within a rich and varied body of work that combines rationalism with adjustment to the found, and ranges in scale from urbanism to interiors.
This talk was originally filmed on Thursday 12th June at the Barbican Centre.
