Bruno book

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruno Buch (born February 7, 1883 in Berlin; † January 24, 1938 there , full name: Carl-Emil Bruno Buch ) was a German architect with a focus on industrial architecture .

Life

Bruno Buch attended the building trade school in Berlin from the winter semester 1902/1903 to the winter semester 1904/1905 and completed his training as a building technician in March 1905. He then studied for seven semesters at the Technical University (Berlin-) Charlottenburg . Since 1910 he worked independently . In 1921 Buch was appointed to the Association of German Architects (BDA), and since 1927 he has been a member of the Architects and Engineers Association in Berlin .

Between 1910 and 1938 he built mainly in Berlin and the surrounding area. Well over a hundred buildings can be found in his catalog raisonné, mostly industrial buildings . His most famous building in Berlin is probably the bottle tower (bottle cellar and cold store, 1929–1930) of the former Engelhardt brewery on Stralau . The Groterjan brewery (1928–1929) in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen and the bread factory Schlüterbrot-Bärenbrot in Berlin-Tempelhof (1927/1928) were also built according to his plans. Buch also planned the expansion of the Sarotti factory (original building by Hermann Dernburg in 1912, expansion 1921–1923); it is considered the first monumental multi-storey building made of reinforced concrete in Berlin.

His work can be divided into three creative phases. At first, Buch made use of historical stylistic devices , which he combined "with an original and independent architecture". After the First World War, his architectural language became more contemporary and the buildings became more cubic, "new constructive and artistic ideas find expression". The bottle tower on Stralau comes from his last creative phase, which was "characterized by a sober and extremely functional modern architecture". The influence of the New Building is particularly evident in Buch's later works.
