“If Adolf Loos said, that an architect
is nothing more that a mason who learned latin, we actualize
this for Hermann Kaufmann: a fine craftsman, who by the way
is an architect. He and his “hölzerne Verwandtschaft” (wooden
fratery) define a locally and nationally recognized social,
ecological, economical, political dimension. His work teaches
us, that an ecologic ethic is not limited to a list of technical
inovations, that the simplicity of this new rationalism is
of timeless beauty.”
