Discussing the reform movement involves exploring a transformative architectural shift that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement aimed to break away from the cramped city blocks, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and a socially-responsive approach. In the classroom, students delve into the cultural and social drivers behind this reform movement. Lessons include studying key figures like Hermann Muthesius, Paul Mebes, Paul Emmerich, and others who played important roles in advocating for architecture that met modern needs. Practical assignments might involve analyzing case studies and undertaking design projects that embody principles such as those found in the reformed preliminary block. Through this exploration, students are equipped to apply historical lessons to modern architectural challenges, fostering innovative and thoughtful design.
