Hans Scharoun is best known for his expressionist designs in the years following the First World War, for his housing at Siemensstadt and Breslau in the late 1920s, and for his work after the Second World War. Less well known is his work of the 1930s. In television broadcast 16, Tim Benton considers two of Scharoun’s domestic designs of this decade: the Mohrmann house and the Scharf house in Berlin.
Written by Tim Benton, directed by Nick Levinson, produced the BBC/Open University, aired 26 July 1975 on BBC2.
