series
Series documents the contribution of architects Hans Luckhardt and Wasilli Luckhardt to the correspondence circle of Die gläserne Kette, with each writing under the pseudonyms Angkor and Zachen respectively.
Born in Berlin in 1880, Hans Luckhardt studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule at Karlsruhe, Germany. In 1919, he joined the Novembergruppe, an exhibiting group of painters, sculptors, architects and musicians, and the Arbeitsrat für Kunst, lead by Bruno Taut. These two groups merged in November 1919. The same year, Luckhardt exhibitied his work at the Ausstellung für unbekannte Architekten and contributed to the organization of the Neues Bauen exhibition the next year. In 1921, Hans Luckhardt began his working collaboration with his brother Wassili. Born in Berlin in 1989, Wassili Luckhardt studied archictecture at the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg and at the Technische Hochschule in Dresden. He undertook his military service from 1914 to 1918. Like his brother Hans, Wasilli joined the Novembergruppeand the Arbeitsrat für Kunst in 1919 and exhibited his work at the Ausstellung für unbekannte Architekten. During their collaboration, the Luckhardt brothers worked on designs for private commisions and competition schemes including some for Berlin and Hanover (1951-1952). Hans Luckhardt died in 1954 in Bad Wiessee. Wassili Luckhardt continued his work as an architect on various architectural projects. He died in 1972 in Berlin.

The original order of these materials was not discernable when they arrived at CCA.
Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathias Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. Primarily theoretical and visionary in content, this group includes three letters, a page from a letter with drawings for a concert hall, and a photograph of a model of the same concert hall. The letters and photograph were accessioned as received in a beige folder.
