Beschrijving

The brothers Heinz (1902–1996) and Bodo (1903–1995) Rasch founded their architecture studio in Stuttgart in 1926. Versatile, talented and creative, they shared a strong interest in the ideas of the modernist movement and soon numbered among the major protagonists of “Neues Bauen” (the “New Building” style) in southwest Germany. They embodied a visionary, ingenious spirit paired with solution-driven engineering – a creative approach that is also reflected in their graphic and product design (furniture).

Their studio soon turned into an important gathering place for Stuttgart’s design and architecture scene. The Rasch brothers maintained friendly contacts with avant-garde artists such as Otto Dix. During the construction period of the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart, the siblings met brilliant architects such as Walter Gropius, Bruno Taut and Martin Wagner. At this time, Mies van der Rohe, the important director of the building exhibition, used the Rasch studio for a short time and the two brothers designed a model unit in the central apartment block of the exhibition as well as one for Peter Behrens’ apartment block. Their designs for suspended houses and Bodo Rasch’s ideas for modular or air-filled building structures were revolutionary and unique in the architectural history of the 20th century.
