This book provides an overview of the work of Ernst May, one of the outstanding figures of classic modernist architecture. Exhibition Itinerary: Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, July 27-November 13, 2011. This catalog accompanies the first exhibition dedicated to the entirety of May's work. It provides an overview of his most famous achievement, The New Frankfurt--a massive urban planning project which in the 1920s gave the city an unprecedented Modernist look and which provided thousands of ingeniously and economically designed apartments. In addition, the book presents in detail Ernst May's other architectural projects. It focuses on May's time in Silesia, the Soviet Union and Africa as well as his post-war return to Germany. It also sheds light on May's enormous impact on the fields of architecture and urban planning. The book's hundreds of illustrations include contemporary photographs, original drawings and plans, and images of models and completed projects. More than a dozen essays examine various aspects of May's work and life, and discuss the full range of his architectural oeuvre, presented in a comprehensive catalogue raisonné

The study examines the involvement of prominent Western modernists in the globalization of modern architecture during the 1930s to the 1960s. Finely contextualized analyses demonstrate that the projects defined by colonial continuities bear greater witness to the repressive conditions governing their creation than to progress and emancipation. Unter welchen Umständen ist es westlichen Akteuren gelungen, über nationale und kulturelle Grenzen hinweg einheitliche Architekturparameter zu etablieren? Warum ist dieses Projekt regelmäßig gescheitert? Wie lassen sich andere Transformationsprozesse fassen? Die spätkoloniale Moderne der 1930er bis 1960er Jahre steht für eine vielschichtige und nicht selten widersprüchliche Phase innerhalb der Globalisierung der Architekturmoderne. Sie ist von kolonialen Kontinuitäten wie von den konkurrierenden Modernitätsentwürfen lokaler Akteure gekennzeichnet. Indem die Studie gleichzeitig als machtkritische Diskursanalyse, historische Architektursoziologie und politische Ikonographie angelegt ist, gelingt es exemplarisch, die semantische Polyvalenz der spätkolonialen Architekturmoderne herauszuarbeiten. Das Spektrum der untersuchten Projekte umfasst Le Corbusiers Planungen für das französisch besetzte Algier, Ernst Mays Stadterweiterung für das kolonial-britische Kampala sowie die Interventionen Frank Lloyd Wrights und TACs in das haschemitische und frührepublikanische Bagdad.
