Paul Zucker

[1] Paul Zucker studied architecture and art history in Berlin and Munich; he graduated with the degree of Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.)

He wrote his thesis ("Spatial Representations and Pictorial Architectures in the Florentine Painters of the First Half of the Quattrocento") under Richard Borrmann's supervision.

[2] From 1918 to 1937, he worked as a freelance architect in Berlin, designing numerous country houses, store interiors, and major buildings.

After moving to New York, he no longer worked as a commercial architect, but in 1943, Zucker and others created the "German Village," a realistic replica of Berlin tenements, at the Dugway Proving Ground test site in Utah.

Zucker's writings ranged from the history of scenic design to modern urban planning.
