Biography
Hugo Häring was a German architect and architectural writer, best known for this writing on the subject of organic architecture and functionalism.
Häring's projects included the Garkau Farm, near Lübeck (1923-5), the Sausage Factory at Neustadt (1925/6) and blocks of flats at Siemensstadt in Berlin. Although relatively few of his designs were built, he had a strong influence on his colleague Hans Scharoun, and his work continues to influence conteporary architects.
Häring was a founding member of The Ring, an organisation of architects which counted among its members all the main German Modernists, and which paved the way for CIAM, the International Congresses of Modern Architecture.
Häring died in Göppingen in 1958.
