Estate Dr. Myra Warhaftig

该项目的目的是对德国裔以色列建筑师和建筑历史学家Myra Warhaftig博士(1930-2008年)的工作进行科学审查，他的遗产从以色列转移到卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院(KIT)进行记录和研究。作为一名建筑师和建筑理论家，迈拉·瓦哈夫蒂格在女权主义建筑领域享有盛誉。她的论文《Die Behinderung der Emanzipation der Frau duch die Wohnung and die Möglichkeit zurúberwinung》(1978年柏林工业大学)，以及她对1984年柏林国际建筑展(IBA)的贡献被认为是这一领域的开创性作品。作为一名建筑历史学家，迈拉·瓦尔哈夫蒂格以其关于纳粹时期犹太建筑师流亡的书籍和论文而闻名，这些著作和论文是数十年来这一领域研究的成果。在遗产材料的基础上，该项目一方面将集中瓦哈夫蒂斯对女权主义建筑的贡献。另一方面，关于流亡犹太建筑师的信件、照片和文件(总共约9.000个单位)将被数字化，用于科学研究。在学术生涯道路上，迈拉·瓦哈夫蒂格付出了最大努力，成功地过上了科学建筑师的生活。在她的传记中，反映了她的作品、她的思想和观念、德国女建筑师的社会史和20世纪的德裔犹太人历史。因此，研究她的遗产不仅具有建筑学上的重要性，而且具有社会意义。

The aim of the project is the scientific examination of the work of the German-Israeli architect and architectural historian Dr. Myra Warhaftig (1930-2008), whose estate was transferred from Israel to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for recording and research. As an architect and architectural theorist Myra Warhaftig made her name in the field of feminist architecture. Her dissertation, Die Behinderung der Emanzipation der Frau durch die Wohnung und die Möglichkeit zur Überwindung (TU Berlin 1978), and her contribution to the International Building Exhibition 1984 (IBA) in Berlin are considered pioneering works in this field. As an architectural historian Myra Warhaftig is known for her books and essays on the exile of Jewish architects during the Nazi period, which are the results of decades of research in this field. On the basis of the materials in the estate the project will, on the one hand, focus Warhaftigs contribution to feminist architecture. On the other hand the letters, photographs and documents on Jewish architects in exile (a total unit of approximately 9.000 units) will be digitalized for scientific research.Beyond academic career paths, with a maximum of personal effort, Myra Warhaftig succeeded in living the life of a scientific architect. In her biography, her work, her ideas and concepts, the social history of female architects in Germany and the German-Jewish history of the 20th century are reflected. The examination of her legacy is therefore not only of architectural importance, but also of social relevance.
