- English abstract
- The architect Myra Warhaftig (1930-2008) was significant in German architectural-feminist debates. She had a broad understanding of ‘function’, extending into the anthropological and to the place of women in the home. Her writings concerning children’s realms but increasingly the meaning of the kitchen would appear at first sight to echo the concerns of her precursor in the German-speaking world, the Viennese Grete Lihotzky with her famous Frankfurt kitchen. A generation on, though, with the apartments she designed in what became the centre of a re-united Berlin, Warhaftig questioned the nature of all domestic spaces in a far more critical manner.
