„Heinrich
Lauterbach. Architekt wrocławskiego modernizmu”, redakcja Jerzy Ilkosz


The book "Heinrich Lauterbach. Architect of Wroclaw Modernism" accompanied the exhibition of the same title presented at the Museum of Architecture. The monograph on one of the most important creators of Wroclaw architecture of the interwar period, a disciple of Hans Poelzig and one of the main originators and organizers of the 1929 Werkbund WuWA exhibition, is divided into three parts. The first consists of articles and essays discussing the architect's work, the second part is a catalog illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs of the buildings and accompanied by their detailed descriptions, and thethe third - texts by Lauterbach himself and source texts dedicated to him, which capture the spirit of the times, the atmosphere in which the architect created in the 1920s and in the period of the 1930s, marked by economic and political crisis.
