| book description |

To this day, the oeuvre of Oskar Pixis has not received the recognition it deserves. This may initially seem unsurprising, since the architect himself, who was administrative head in the office of Theodor Fischer – the leading south German architect of the first third of the 20th century – claimed to have worked ""only in an auxiliary and not a creative capacity"". He proved in exemplary fashion, however, that architecture is a collective effort. After all, the ""master"" would no doubt have built less and perhaps differently if he had not been able to rely on the trusted support of Pixis and a team of colleagues. From 1924 onwards, Pixis began creating his own designs for residential buildings and housing developments in and around Munich. The book presents his work against a contemporary background and documents his Munich buildings with a section of his catalogue.
