Paul Wijdeveld LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN ARCHITECT, Pepin Press, paperback. NEW <p> Between the years 1926 and 1928 the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and the architect Paul Engelmann designed and built a house in early Modernist style for Wittgenstein&#39;s sister, the Viennese society figure Margaret Stonborough. Although Engelmann was an experienced architect and a former pupil of Adolf Loos, the collaboration between the two men was dominated by Wittgenstein, who is generally credited with the house&#39;s design. This book describes the events that led to Wittgenstein&#39;s temporary status of architect, his ideas about aethetics in general and architecture in particular, and his extensive quest for &#39;functionalism perfectionism and elegance as a consequence of truthfulness in thinking and acting.&#39;
