Konrad Wachsmann Reference: The Turning Point of Building by K.Wachsmann Carnegie Mellon :: School of Architecture :: Third Year Studio Philosophy • Wachsmann revered history, the ultimate source of tectonic inspiration • Wachsmann saw in the Crystal Palace and the Gothic cathedrals a paradigm to which all subsequent buildings should aspire Carnegie Mellon :: School of Architecture :: Third Year Studio Philosophy • KW admired the techno-scientific genius of Alexander Graham Bell • KW’s thought was grounded in tectonic culture - detailing & rational fabrication and assembly methods • accepted the orthogonal as the normative matrix of manmade objects Carnegie Mellon :: School of Architecture :: Third Year Studio Wachsmann Projects • French Panel House • Packaged House • American Panel Corporation • Mobilar • Tetra Node Carnegie Mellon :: School of Architecture :: Third Year Studio Conclusion • KW was destined to stay on the periphery of practice • He had faith in the imminence of a dematerialized world in which art, science and technology were united • Often proved the optimum range of a concept, rather than the pragmatics • Important for the stance adopted towards material world, rather than specificity of their designs.
