| Abstract |
In addition to the well-known 'Frankfurt Kitchen', Austrian female architect Margarette Schutte-Lihotzky's architectural achievements include a study on the housing for working class, contribution to the resident participation movement, the planning of multi-family housing complexes, rational floor plan design, and the design and study of interior spaces. The purpose of this study is to investigate how she, who played intermediate roles between an architect and a social reformer, reflected social issues and the demands of living on the housing plans in the Red Wien era and to discuss diverse issues of modern residential planning furthermore. In this study, first, the housing situation in Vienna immediately after World War I was grasped and the architectural and housing discourses at that time were examined. Thereafter, cases of Schutte-Lihotzky's works were investigated and analyzed. In the period of transition to modern times, the concepts of residential planning of Schutte- Lihotzky, who began as a social democratic architect, often showed transitional tendencies in private and public functions of housing, spatial distribution for the daily life, and functions of modern family and home. However, thereafter, the paradigm of the rationalism-functionalism was already sprouting from her architectural and residential plans. In conclusion, it can be said that the works of Schutte-Lihotzky has realized the social responsibility of residential planning and become a cornerstone of the later modern housing. |
