Architect, designer, and theorist Josef Frank (1885-1967) was known throughout Europe in the 1920s as one of the continent's leading modernists. Yet despite his important contributions to the development of modernism, Frank has been largely excluded from histories of the movement. Josef Frank: Life and Work is the first study that comprehensively explores the life, ideas, and designs of this complex and controversial figure. Educated in Vienna just after the turn of the century, Frank became the leader of the younger generation of architects in Austria after the First World War. But Frank fell from grace when he emerged as a forceful critic of the extremes of modern architecture and design during the early 1930s. Dismissing the demands for a unified modern style, Frank insisted that it was pluralism, not uniformity, that most characterized life in the new machine age. He called instead for a more humane modernism, one that responded to people's everyday needs and left room for sentimentality and historical influences. He was able to put these ideas into practice when, in 1933, he was forced to leave Vienna for Sweden. There his work came to define Swedish (or Scandinavian) modern design. For more than thirty years he was the chief designer for the Stockholm furnishings firm Svenskt Tenn, producing colorful, cozy, and eclectic designs that provided a refreshing alternative to the architectural mainstream of the day and presaged the coming revolt against modernism in the 1960s. In this sensitive study of one of the twentieth century's seminal architects and thinkers, Christopher Long offers new insight into Josef Frank's work and ideas and provides an important contribution to the understanding of modernist culture and its history.

Mit Josef Frank (1885-1967) widmet sich der Katalog zur Ausstellung im MAK, Wien, einem der bedeutendsten sterreichischen Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Neben dem wegweisenden architektonischen Werk geht es dabei insbesondere um Frank als einem zwar skeptischen und kulturkritischen, aber u erst produktiven Gestalter, dem das internationale Design bis heute wichtige Impulse verdankt. Als auch gegenw rtig noch "zeitgen ssischer" Architekt und "Designer" vertrat Frank einen pragmatischen Gestaltungsansatz und pl dierte f r eine "normale" - aber keinesfalls normative - Architektur und Formgebung. F r Frank standen weniger formale Qualit ten als vielmehr solche des sozialen Erlebens im Vordergrund; seine Inneneinrichtungen und Gebrauchsgegenst nde sollten vor allem in den Dienst der Bequemlichkeit gestellt werden. Gerade heute scheinen Josef Franks Vorstellungen einer ungek nstelten und unpr tenti sen Zweckdienlichkeit, die auf eine eigenst ndig freie, aufgekl rt b rgerliche Wohn- und Lebenskultur jenseits stilistischer Dogmen und modischer Konventionen abzielte, aktueller denn je.

A book about the late oeuvre of the Austrian architect, designer and theorist Josef Frank, whose seminal work has generated new interest following the successful exhibition at the MAK in Vienna. Josef Frank is seen as an important visionary at the early stages of the Moderne movement and an outspoken critic of its dogmatism. With his unconventional designs he not only left his mark on Viennese culture at the beginning of the previous century, but also influenced the "Scandinavian style." From the mid-1930s, Frank lived predominantly in Sweden. There he worked for the Svenskt Tenn company, which still maintains the largest part of his designs in its range. This bibliophilic book introduces Frank's late, unbuilt building projects, as well as his timeless furniture and fabric designs.

Josef Frank (1885-1967) ranks among Europe's most significant architects of the twentieth century, and his designs for furniture and textiles have made him one of the eminent figures of modernist interior design. Though there have been many studies of Frank's architecture previously, Josef Frank--Spaces is the first comprehensive book to look specifically at Frank's single-family houses. Architects Mikael Bergquist and Olof Mich lsen explore the evolution of Frank's designs for single-family homes over the years, and they investigate the influences that shaped his work, such as Adolf Loos's "spatial plan" concept, Le Corbusier's ideas, and Hermann Muthesius's groundbreaking book The English House. The authors also look at Frank's architectural concepts of movement and his use of stairs in residential buildings. The book also includes an in-depth examination of six of Frank's houses, including both built projects-- the Villas Cla son and Wehtje in Falsterbo, Sweden, and Villa Beer in Vienna--and unrealized ones--House for Vienna XIII, House MS in Los Angeles, and Fantasy House 9 (Accidental House). This section includes images and plans of each of the houses and a close analysis of their specific characteristics. A complete catalog of Frank's single-family houses rounds out the book. Featuring new material and many previously unpublished images and plans, Josef Frank--Spaces will be the authoritative reference to this renowned architect's contributions to the design of residential dwellings.

This two-volume work reprints all of Frank's published writings, making the great majority of them available in English for the first time. The original, mostly German-language texts are also presented here, as are many of the illustrations that accompanied them. For more than five decades, from the 1910s to the early 1960s, the Viennese architect Josef Frank was one of the leading advocates of the new modern aesthetic and one of its most strident and vocal critics. In his many essays and his book, Architektur als Symbol, Frank sought to expose the meanings--and the failures--of modernism, to lay bare its underlying assumptions and what were, in his view, its sometimes misdirected applications. Above all, he sought to reclaim for modern design some of the freedom it had lost as it was codified.

English translation of the 2013 Swedish edition (9789186593155). When Austrian Josef Frank (1885-1967) began his collaboration with Estrid Ericson and Swedish Pewter 1934, he was already established as one of today's leading architects and furniture designers. He started the store 'Haus & Garten' in Vienna and designed residential complexes and villas including the interiors. Josef Frank was both appreciated and viewed as a committed modernist who did not follow the rule book. He was convinced that "every human being needs a certain amount of sentiment in order to thrive; this will be a time when one is forced to make moral decisions on everything." The book presents Josef Frank extensive work.
