To nie jest muza. Rola klientki w domu Rietveld Schröder

A groundbreaking case study challenges traditional narratives by highlighting the active role of female patron Truus Schröder in shaping the Rietveld Schröder House, a seminal work of modern architecture. This research shifts focus from the celebrated architect Gerrit Rietveld to Schröder’s agency and influence, offering a template for re-evaluating similar collaborations between female patrons and architects. The study employs qualitative analysis, drawing on historical documents and archival materials to reconsider gendered dynamics in architectural design. Originally published in 1996, this essay has since been republished in significant works, underscoring its enduring relevance in architectural discourse.
