Romeo and Julia, two residential high-rises in Stuttgart, built 1954–59 and designed by Hans Scharoun (1893–1972), constitute the most original and far-reaching of the various attempts to re-design the entire “process of living” undertaken by this extraordinary protagonist of Germany’s modern architecture. Over decades, Scharoun had woven an extensive network of research and knowledge systems as a basis for his floor-plan designs. His writings and lectures from between 1947 and 1958 reveal the countless threads of research and discourse, which his work in residential architecture referenced and absorbed. They highlight the sometimes contradictory, yet constant renewal and consolidation of his knowledge in the field of housing. This book demonstrates how closely interlocked Romeo and Julia are with their architect’s immense engagement with the topic of housing. Based on extensive research and drawing on previously unpublished archive material, it offers a unique insight into Scharoun’s design process. Alongside reproductions of original plans and drawings, it features excerpts from his unpublished text fragments as well as newly commissioned photo essay that highlights Romeo and Julia’s highly expressive appearance. Insights into the design process and intellectual foundations of Hans Scharoun, one of the most extraordinary protagonists of Germany’s modern architecture Markus Peter is an architect and founding partner of Meili Peter Architects with offices in Zurich and Munich.
