| Research Abstract |
Deutscher Werkbund (1907-1934) is known as an association that tried to modernize the design and architecture in the early 20th century in Germany.
Studies on Deutscher Werkbund have been developed in terms of the new understanding of design and architecture in the Wilhelm II age before the World War I. The evaluation of Deutscher Werkbund is normally focused on this period.
This research is an attempt to clarify the whole activities of Deutscher Werkbund, especially to revaluate its period of the 1920-30's.
