Moderne Baukunst
Moderne Baukunst is a 1907 architecture survey by Karl Scheffler, published in Berlin by Julius Bard, aimed at readers of modern building design. Its plates are rotated photographs of contemporary buildings, including a Berlin brick office block, a villa with a broad garden front, a Dutch waterside house, and an interior with white balustraded galleries and a stained-glass roof. A designer might take from them the sober brick facades, repeated window bays, and light-filled galleries of early twentieth-century German and Dutch architecture.
