 | | Taut was born in what was then East Prussia and began his studies in architecture at age 24, with Theodor Fischer in Stuttgart, where he obtained his first commission, the renovation of a church. |
 | | Taut's dedication to art was also manifested in his drawings and paintings, many of which had little, if anything, to do with architecture or urban planning. |
 | | Midcareer, Taut designed a couple of the pavilions for industry exhibitions--his "Monument of Iron," a pavilion for the iron industry at the 1913 Leipzig building exposition, and perhaps his best-known work, the "Glasshouse," a pavilion for the glass industry at the 1914 Werkbund (German Work Federation) exhibition in Cologne. |
