Palabras clave: Lilly Reich, Arquitecta, Movimiento Moderno, Werkbund Alemán, Diseñadora
Agencias: This article is the result of the research developed for the making of the documentary [On Set with] Lilly Reich. The project has been produced by Avelina Prat and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, the institution that convened the award and the first funding body. Likewise, there have been other institutions that have joined as collaborators in financing the documentary, such as the Department of Research, Culture, and Sports (Generalitat Valenciana), Institut Valencià de la Cultura, à MÈDIA (Mitjans Públics Valencians) and The Museum of Modern Art of New York.

Resumen

El legado arquitectónico de Lilly Reich ha sido reconocido por la crítica de forma discontinua. Elogios, ambigüedades y omisiones han configurado el relato histórico de una de las primeras mujeres que, con formación reglada y en calidad de miembro del Werkbund Alemán, innovó en el diseño de arquitecturas efímeras, interiores y mobiliario. Este artículo, a través de un trabajo fundamentado en archivos históricos, mapea detalladamente su carrera profesional y sus logros –como arquitecta y diseñadora; en solitario y en colaboración con Mies van der Rohe– y compara lo que hizo con lo que de ella se dijo. La investigación demuestra que la línea paralela entre su obra y crítica se esfuma a partir de trabajar asociada a uno de los maestros del Movimiento Moderno. Asimismo, el estudio constata que la historia de la arquitectura posterior tampoco reconoció su labor durante décadas. Conforme Lilly Reich se acercaba a Mies, iba desapareciendo.
