Adolf Meyer (architect)
German architect
Adolf Meyer (17 June 1881, Mechernich [de] – 14 July 1929, the Island of Baltrum [de]) was a German architect.
A student and employee of both Bruno Paul and Peter Behrens, Meyer became the office boss of the firm of Walter Gropius around 1915 and a full partner afterwards. In 1919, Gropius appointed Meyer as a master at the Bauhaus, where he taught work drawing and construction technique. Meyer is also credited as co-designer of the Gropius entry for the 1922 Chicago Tribune Tower competition.[1]
From 1926, he practiced as an architect in the New Frankfurt project.
