Overview
New Living (Das Neue Bauen) was the title of an exceptional architectural propaganda film created in 1930 by German avant-garde artist and filmmaker Hans Richter. It show-cased exemplary modernist buildings and furniture-some of which were on view shortly afterwards in the prestigious exhibition "The International Style"-and contrasted them with impractical, unhygienic living spaces. The visual diversity of New Living, and its use of an experimental montage technique, pioneered a radical new method of portraying architecture on celluloid.This publication includes detailed sequences from the New Living film, as well as numerous documents that illustrate the new style of architectural modernism.
