Abstract: Hans Döllgast's postwar architectural legacy is marked by his principle of simplicity and his pedagogical innovation at the Technical University of Munich� Through the method of lecture drawing-a synthesis of spoken explanation and simultaneous visual construction-he transmitted his vision of architectural form as a timeless and essential quality.Avoiding contemporary architecture, Döllgast drew from historic examples to uncover universal design principles rather than stylistic imitation.His teaching connected geometric precision with aesthetic awareness, making drawing both a cognitive and analytical act.The rediscovered lecture manuscripts and blackboard sketches reveal how he developed a coherent pedagogy of form that merged observation, proportion, and spatial logic.Döllgast's approach exemplifies a synthesis of craftsmanship, reflection, and didactic clarity, offering lasting insights into architectural education and the cultivation of design judgment.
