Abstract
Bruno Taut has worked in Berlin to design a lot of houses for workers from 1910s to the beginning of 1930s, which can be summarized into three stages, namely 1) the stage of garden city movement, 2) the stage of utopian imagination and 3) the stage of spatial formation of suburban housings around the large city. In 1930s he has written some essays on Siedlung, especially "Siedlungsmemoiren" or "Architecturlehre", from which his final stage of synthetic thought on Siedlung could be extracted through critical analysis. Namely he criticized the modem functionalism and rationalism, and came to set the ideal on the integrated organic method of design respecting the harmony between each part and total form, and also locality or tradition, which can be estimated as the critical inheritance of each stage in his thought on Siedlung.
