Boys' and Girls' school in the city of Louny in the Czech Republic.

Project with Antonin Urban.

.

In a lettter dated May/June 1930, to Karel Teige, editor of the monthly journal for modern design, "ReD", published in Prague,

Hannes Meyer writes (translated from German, source:

"Hannes Meyer - Bauen und Gesellschaft" Dresden, 1980, p.73):

....

"just received the first five specimen copies [of No. 5]. Leafing through its pages rather quickly, my overall impression was very positive. I shall write more soon. For the moment, just one complaint: On page 152, mentioning the 'bauabteilung and my name' [on top of the page] is entirely wrong: the school project for Louny by Urban and Sharon is their very own work and was not created at the Bauhaus, although in spirit it of course belongs to us."

....

The project was represented in the Moscow exhibition of 1931 "Bauhaus Dessau. 1928-1930" that was organised by Hannes Meyer.
