Abstract

The heyday of architect Kurt Frick’s creative activity (East Prussia, currently Kaliningrad Oblast) took place in the interwar years of the 20th century. He contributed greatly in the restoration of the province’s historical cities destroyed in World War I. During 1920s-1930s, the architect’s works were marked by stylistic diversity with notable Art Deco features. K. Frick worked in cooperation with sculptors, organically introducing plastic arts into the design of his buildings, which, in general, was uncharacteristic of the region’s architecture. K. Frick published a number of theoretical articles dedicated to his contemplation on the local architecture and the ways of its development.
