Hans Benno Bernoulli (17 February 1876 – 12 September 1959) was a Swiss architect and city planner.
Family
Bernoulli was born in Basel, the son of Theodor Bernoulli, an office clerk. He was descended from the Bernoulli family of mathematicians.[1] The suffragette and feminist Elisabeth Bernoulli (1873–1935) was his sister.
In 1904 he married Anna Ziegler in Berlin.
Career
He studied architecture at the Technische Universität München and in 1902 started a partnership in Berlin. In 1912 he was appointed "chief architect" for the Basler building industry.
His most important housing development projects were:
- 1914–1929: Bernoullihäuser in Zürich, (Hardturmstrasse). The Bernoulli houses are named after the architect. These houses are a garden city project, from the 1920s and were meant to be sold without profit to the workers. You will find the Bernoulli houses on Zürich tram lines no. 8 and 17 between the stations Bernoulli and Hardturm.
