Excellent- More about Oskar Pixis: Wohnbauten der 1920er und 1930er Jahre in Munchen
Oskar Pixis' work has not received the recognition it deserves, despite his claim to have worked only in an auxiliary and not a creative capacity. He began creating his own designs for residential buildings and housing developments in and around Munich from 1924 onwards, and the book presents his work against a contemporary background and documents his Munich buildings with a section of his catalogue.

Oskar Pixis' remarkable oeuvre has yet to receive the recognition it truly deserves. It may come as a surprise, considering the architect himself, who served as the administrative head in the office of Theodor Fischer, the renowned south German architect of the first third of the 20th century. Pixis claimed to have worked solely in an auxiliary and not in a creative capacity. However, he exemplified through his work that architecture is a collective effort. The master would undoubtedly have built less and perhaps differently if he had not been able to rely on the trusted support of Pixis and a team of colleagues.
Beginning in 1924, Pixis embarked on creating his own designs for residential buildings and housing developments in and around Munich. This book presents his work against a contemporary backdrop and showcases his Munich buildings through a section of his catalogue.
Despite his contributions, Pixis' work has been overlooked and undervalued, perhaps due to his self-imposed limitation of working in an auxiliary capacity. It is only through recent scholarship and research that his architectural achievements are being recognized and celebrated.
Oskar Pixis' legacy deserves to be recognized and celebrated for his significant contributions to the field of architecture. His innovative designs, collaborative spirit, and unwavering dedication to his craft have left a lasting impact on the architectural landscape. It is time for his work to receive the recognition it truly deserves and for future generations to appreciate the brilliance of his creations.
