Washington and Heilbronn - the capital of the USA and the old city on the Neckar River in southwestern Germany have created a joint project about the architect Adolf Cluss. Exhibitions in Washington D.C. and in Heilbronn took place from September 2005 to mid-January 2006 to mark the 100th anniversary of the architect's death. Public events on both sides of the atlantic focussed on his life and work. The project included a series of events, a CD with music and spaces connected to Cluss, this website, and a book, entitled Adolf Cluss, Architect: From Germany to America, which is currently available in both German and English.
