Description:

Neuware -Georg Rauh (1906-1965) hat mit seinem Schaffen die Ostschweizer Architekturlandschaft bereichert. Sein rund 100 Bauwerke umfassendes _uvre zeichnet sich aus durch überlegte Setzungen der Volumina, kluge Grundrisse und eine subtile Materialwahl. Darin manifestiert sich ein klares Programm: Reduktion und Funktionalität, ganz im Sinne der Bauhaus-Lehre. Der gelernte Zimmermann hatte am Bauhaus Dessau unter Hannes Meyer und Ludwig Hilberseimer studiert und 1932 unter Mies van der Rohe diplomiert. Zurück in der Schweiz arbeitete er als Lehrer an Gewerbeschulen und engagierte sich als Architekt für den sozialen Wohnungsbau.Der Werkkatalog dokumentiert seinen architektonischen Nachlass und die Schlüsselwerke werden mittels einer Gegenüberstellung von Originalplänen sowie Bildern und Fotografien von Ladina Bischof porträtiert. Zudem werden Themen wie «Das Bauhaus in der Schweiz», «Die hölzerne Moderne» und «Der Genossenschaftsbau» anhand seines Schaffens im historischen Kontext erörtert. 152 pp. Deutsch.

Georg Rauh (1906–1965) enhanced the Eastern Swiss architectural landscape with his work. His oeuvre, comprising around 100 buildings, is characterised by the considered placement of volumes, sensible floor plans and a subtle choice of materials. A clear programme is discernible: reduction and functionality, fully in the spirit of Bauhaus teaching. The trained carpenter studied at the Bauhaus Dessau under Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Hilberseimer, before graduating in 1932 under Mies van der Rohe. After returning to Switzerland, he worked as a teacher at a vocational school and subsequently as an architect for social housing.

This catalogue of works documents his architectural heritage and its key buildings, which are portrayed by comparing the original plans, as well as in images and photographs by Ladina Bischof. Furthermore, the themes "The Bauhaus and Switzerland", "Wooden modernity" and "Cooperative building" are discussed within a historical context with respect to his work.

Text in German.
