Georg Adolph Demmler is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Georg Adolph Demmler as German architect and politician (1804–1886).
Georg Adolph Demmler was born at Berlin in 1804. His recorded nationality is Germany. He trained at Bauakademie.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect and politician.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in Germany shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Georg Adolph Demmler died in 1886, aged 82. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
