Bodo Rasch, Heinz Rasch

The architectural partnership of Bodo Rasch and Heinz Rasch was active around 1927, contributing to the speculative and functional design movements of the early twentieth century. Their work centered on ambitious projects that explored innovative structural solutions, often incorporating advanced engineering principles into conceptual housing and infrastructure.

The known body of work represented in institutional collections includes nine documented architectural projects. Their focus on modernist technological solutions is demonstrated through conceptual blueprints and designs such as the Suspended Freight Station Project, Elevation, and multiple proposals for the Suspension Houses Project. These drawings, often rendered as perspective sketches, illustrate an early engagement with suspended, elevated housing concepts, intended to address urban density and transportation challenges.

The historical significance of their architectural vision is confirmed by major museum holdings. Their influential designs are represented in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Original documents and Bodo Rasch, Heinz Rasch prints of these studies remain important resources for architectural historians. Today, these materials are often available as high-quality prints and downloadable files through resources made available to the public domain.
