Redescobrir um arquitecto: Hannes Meyer na Escola do Sindicato de Bernau

Abstract

The purpose of the following dissertation is to establish a knowledge of the architect Hannes Meyer and understand his architecture based on his masterpiece, the Federal School of the German Trade Unions in Bernau, where all his architectural concepts converge with his social ideology and are put into practice. The direct contact with his work and theoretical contents establish the basis of this work. The research embraces his professional career and other works that took place between 1919 and 1928 to understand the development of these architectural concepts which were determinant in the school's conception.
