Memories of the Resistance
Memories of the Resistance
Memories of the Resistance "is an interdisciplinary architectural history [project] that makes architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky's 1985 German-language book Erinnerungen aus dem Widerstand (Memories of the Resistance) available to English-speaking audiences, with the addition of an extended commentary and introduction. Alongside an in-depth analysis of Schütte-Lihotzky's design work, the project highlights the architect's engagement in the resistance movement against the Nazi regime, as well as her postwar activism in the global women's movement, in which she served as president from 1948 to 1969....The proposed project elucidates Schütte-Lihotzky's continued commitment to designing and organizing housing, schools, and kindergartens in the context of larger concerns about gender equality and social justice beyond borders."
