ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dean's Seminar - Modern Homes in the Making: Otto Neurath, Josef Frank and Anglo-Austrian Policies of Social Housing, 1919-1945
During the summer of 1932, the International Housing Exposition offered working-class families in Vienna the opportunity to purchase homes designed by a diverse group of leading international architects. For the sociologist Otto Neurath, who collaborated closely with the architect Josef Frank on the planning and promotion of this exhibition, this new approach to housing would result in a maximum of happiness (Glücksmaximum) for the working class. Upon emigrating to Oxford in 1941, Neurath sought to adapt interwar policies of Austrian architecture and sociability to the British context.
Speaker:Dr Sabrina Rahman, Visiting Fellow, School of Advanced Study and Leverhulme Trust
Chair: Professor William Marshall, Director, Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies
