New urban architecture
New urban design is published one end of the 1920s in Frederick Pretty Serious Verlag (Berlin, Leipzig and Vienna) book series .
Each volume presented the then current building activity in a city, primarily in medium-sized and large cities such as Munich, Leipzig, Saarbrücken, Dortmund, Essen or Mannheim. The focus was on urban social, residential and administrative buildings in the contemporary style of classic modernism ( Neues Bauen ), but industrial buildings and a few private houses were also presented. The authors of the introductory texts were usually the senior construction officials of the cities depicted. The introductory text was followed by a high-quality and extensive illustration section. The publisher wrote in an advertising brochure from 1927: What does Germany's modern architecture look like as urban art? This question is to be answered in the book series of forty individual representations. It is not just a question of what has recently been built in the most important German cities. It is also a question of how this modern building fits into the existing historical framework.
An individual, graphically sophisticated cover was designed for each volume; some of the designs came from well-known artists and typographers.
At the same time, the book series Neue Werkkunst was published by the same publisher from 1925 to 1932 , which presented an architect or an architecture firm per volume.
