In den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts galt die Arbeitsweise von Bauingenieuren weithin als vorbildlich für die künftigen Architekten. Ihre Bedeutung für die zeitgenössischen Architekturbewegungen wurde hingegen kaum thematisiert. Bis heute warten selbst grundlegende Fragen zu Kooperationen, Konkurrenzen und Konflikten zwischen diesen beiden Schwesterdisziplinen auf Antworten. Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge internationaler Wissenschaftler zur Zusammenarbeit von Architekten und Bauingenieuren in verschiedenen Ländern während der Zwischenkriegszeit. Er bietet Einblicke in nationale Besonderheiten, stellt neue Überlegungen zu Wesen, Charakter und Bedeutung solcher gemeinsamen Anstrengungen bietet und eröffnet so spannende neue Perspektiven auf die moderne Baukultur in Europa und darüber hinaus

In the first decades of the 20th century, civil engineers were widely seen as a role model for future architects. Their role within the contemporary architecture movements, however, was hardly discussed. To this day, even fundamental questions about collaborations, rivalries, or conflicts between the two sister disciplines still await answers. This volume brings together contributions by international scholars on the cooperation between architects and civil engineers in various countries in the interwar period. By offering both insights into national peculiarities and new reflections on the general nature, character, and significance of such joint efforts, it opens exciting new perspectives on the modern building culture of Europe and beyond.
