Das Werk des Architekten Oskar Pixis ist bis heute nicht gewürdigt worden. Dies mag zunächst kaum verwundern, behauptete er doch von sich selbst, als Bürochef von Theodor Fischer – dem führenden süddeutschen Architekten des ersten Jahrhundertdrittels – »nur helfend, nicht schaffend« tätig gewesen zu sein. An seinem Beispiel aber zeigt sich exemplarisch, dass Architektur eine kollektive Leistung ist. Denn es ist davon auszugehen, dass der »Meister« ohne einen Vertrauten wie Pixis und einen Stab von Mitarbeitern weniger, vielleicht auch anders gebaut hätte.

Ab 1924 realisierte Pixis eigene Entwürfe für Wohnhäuser und Siedlungsbauten in und um München. Das Buch positioniert dessen Arbeit im zeitgenössischen Umfeld und dokumentiert seine Münchner Bauten in einem Katalogteil.

To this day, the oeuvre of Oskar Pixis has not received the recognition it deserves. This may initially seem unsurprising, since the architect himself, who was administrative head in the office of Theodor Fischer – the leading south German architect of the first third of the 20th century – claimed to have worked "only in an auxiliary and not a creative capacity". He proved in exemplary fashion, however, that architecture is a collective effort. After all, the "master" would no doubt have built less and perhaps differently if he had not been able to rely on the trusted support of Pixis and a team of colleagues. From 1924 onwards, Pixis began creating his own designs for residential buildings and housing developments in and around Munich. The book presents his work against a contemporary background and documents his Munich buildings with a section of his catalogue.
