The project addresses the architecture of public administration buildings, a genre which has largely been neglected in research. Such buildings served to organize the non-material work of public administration, whose procedures and contacts with democratic society underwent a far-reaching efficiency drive starting in the 1910s. The central question of how modern architecture both structured and symbolically shaped administrative processes re-conceived by scientific management has not yet been systematically explored. This question is rooted in architectural designs and buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, which for the purposes of this project are viewed as a movement- and process-oriented variety of ‘functionalism’. The interface between such concepts and specialist literature is to be seen in the administration itself, which responded to the possibilities of modern architecture and sought with its help to redesign work processes. Significant networking (epistemic communities) is apparent in the practice of construction, which is examined during this project using the example of the Ruhr region. Consequently, a crucial link in the question of ‘functionalism’ can be reassessed, while (inter)national comparisons will enable a gap to be filled in our understanding of architectural modernism.

该项目涉及公共行政建筑的建筑，这是一个在研究中基本上被忽视的类型。这些建筑物用于组织公共行政的非物质工作，其程序和与民主社会的联系从1910年代开始经历了一场意义深远的效率运动。现代建筑如何通过科学管理重新构想结构化和象征性地塑造行政过程的核心问题尚未得到系统的探讨。这个问题植根于20世纪20年代和30年代的建筑设计和建筑，出于本项目的目的，这些设计和建筑被视为以运动和过程为导向的各种“功能主义”。这些概念和专业文献之间的接口可以在行政管理本身中看到，它对现代建筑的可能性做出了回应，并寻求在其帮助下重新设计工作流程。重要的网络（认知社区）在建筑实践中是显而易见的，在本项目中使用鲁尔地区的例子进行了审查。因此，“功能主义”问题中的一个关键环节可以重新评估，而（国际）国家间的比较将填补我们对建筑现代主义理解的空白。
