May, Ernst
Born July 27, 1886, in Frankfurt am Main; died Sept. 11, 1970, in Hamburg. German architect. Between 1910 and 1920 May studied at the Technische Hochschule in Munich under T. Fischer. In addition to Germany he worked in the USSR (1930-33) and East Africa (1934 to the early 1950’s). As chief architect of Frankfurt am Main (1925-30), he was among the first in Western Europe to put the principles of rationalism into practice in large-scale construction (settlements near the city, such as Bruchfeldstrasse and Praunheim). May’s underlying principles of urban construction were the decentralization of cities—that is, the creation of a system of satellite towns around the historical center (the unrealized project of the reconstruction of Moscow, 1931-33) and the standardization and mass production of housing (the unrealized general plan for Magnitogorsk, 1930-33). In the late 1940’s and the 1950’s, May abandoned the rigidness of the plans that he had developed in the 1920’s and 1930’s, replacing the principle of linear construction with freer spatial compositions (the settlements of Neue Altona and Griinhof in the Hamburg vicinity, 1954-55).

No references found | 3 million on a one-time, across-the-board rebate suggests that Cunningham, Brown and Ernst may not fully grasp the magnitude of the economic crisis that is descending upon the Eugene-Springfield area. In architecture, the exhibition stresses the social commitment of many designers and their wide range of political attitudes, from the authoritarian social zoning of Le Corbusier's happily unbuilt 1922 design for a City for Three Million Inhabitants, to the generously urbane work of people like Bruno Taut, Ernst May, J. The German city's palm garden was originally created by Friedrich Kayser, but destroyed by fire in 1878, and its Neo-Renaissance replacement by Heinrich Theodor Schmidt was adapted in the '20s by Ernst May and Martin Elsasser and partly destroyed in the War, then added to with a rear 1954 functional addition. |
