Richard Döcker
1894 – 1968
Richard Döcker (1894–1968) was a prominent German architect and urban planner of the 20th century, closely associated with the Bauhaus movement and Neues Bauen. Born in Nürtingen, Döcker studied architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart and, in the 1920s, joined "Der Ring," a group of progressive architects advocating for modern building concepts. Döcker dedicated his work to creating functional, affordable housing for the general public and played a key role in designing several significant housing developments in Germany.
A prime example of Döcker’s work is his contribution to the "Weißenhofsiedlung" project in Stuttgart in 1927, where he collaborated with other Neues Bauen architects, including Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, presenting pioneering architectural solutions for urban living. Döcker’s designs are characterized by a clear, minimalist language that reflects the Bauhaus functionalist philosophy, which finds beauty in utility.
For TECNOLUMEN, focusing on Bauhaus design and high-quality craftsmanship, Richard Döcker is an enduring source of inspiration. His vision for modern living and clean lines aligns perfectly with TECNOLUMEN's mission to keep the Bauhaus tradition alive through timeless, functional design objects.
