Inhaltsangabe
This book sheds new light on the work of German-born modernist architect Konrad Wachsmann (1901-1980) and his legendary knotted joints. It is based on years of research on Wachsmann's work by Swiss architect Christian Sumi. At the core of this book is Wachsmann's dynamic 'Grapevine Structure', a universal construction element developed with students in the early 1950s at the Chicago Institute of Design. The book also investigates the 'Local Orientation Manipulator' (LOM), an apparatus developed in 1969 by Wachsmann at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles that anticipated the robotic assembly of building components. Moreover, it explores Wachsmann's 'Packaged House System' and his designs for relocatable hangars for the US Air Force. The book features these through concise texts and rich illustrated material, the majority of which are published here for the first time. Fabio Gramazio, Matthias Kohler, and Hannes Mayer (Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zurich) revisit Wachsmann's ideas from a contemporary perspective where robotic building processes become increasingly common. An essay by neuroscientist Andreas Burkhalter looks at the phenomenon of knotted joints in the context of similar structures in the human brain. Architectural historian Marko Pogacnik highlights the significance of Wachsmann's lectures at the Salzburg Summer Academy in the late 1950s. Published to accompany the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, 26 May - 25 November 2018.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. German modernist architect Konrad Wachsmann (19011980) had a career-spanning interest in construction processesin particular the prefabrication of building components and their assembly within modular systems. In this respect, Wachsmann was a pioneer whose ideas and work paved the way for todays industrialized construction. Many contemporary masters, such as Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, have taken inspiration from and paid homage to Wachsmanns forward-thinking work. With Konrad Wachsmann and the Grapevine Structure, Swiss architect Christian Sumi synthesizes years of careful research into a compelling look at the career and lifetime contributions of this highly creative architect. At the core of the book is Wachsmanns dynamic Grapevine Structure of 1953, a universal construction element developed with students during his tenure at the Chicago Institute of Designpart of what is today the Illinois Institute of Technology. The book also investigates Wachsmanns Packaged House System, his furniture designs, his relocatable hangars for the US Air Force, and, in particular, the Local Orientation Manipulator (LOM), an apparatus for the automated assembly of building components developed in 1969 with John Bollinger and Xavier Mendoza at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Fabio Gramazio, Matthias Kohler, and Hannes Mayer of Gramazio Kohler Research revisit the LOM from a contemporary perspective where robotic fabrication processes have become increasingly common. The book also features an essay by Andreas Burkhalter on Wachsmanns legendary knotted joints in the context of possible similar structures in the human brain and by Marko Pogacnik on the significance of Wachsmanns lectures at the Salzburg Summer Academy in the late 1950s. Published to coincide with an exhibition on Konrad Wachsmann at the Sixteenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, the book features rich illustrative material, including many plans and photographs that are published here for the first time. This book sheds new light on the work of German-born modernist architect Konrad Wachsmann (1901-1980) and his legendary knotted joints, prefabricated building systems and visionary ideas of automated on-site assembly.
