Synopsis
The German architect Konrad Wachsmann (1901–80) played a major role in the development of industrialized building production, notably through his collaboration with Walter Gropius on a “Packaged House System” for prefabricated homes that could be assembled in under nine hours (Wachsmann was also known for the summer house he designed for Albert Einstein). This catalog collects research conducted at the Bauhaus in 2018 focusing on the decisive and historic importance of the universal wedge connector, one of Wachsmann’s key contributions that radically expanded the capacity for industrialized home production in its deceptively simple design, saving considerable time and cost. The collected texts by scientists and designers position the connector as “the cornerstone of an industrialized building system,” and elaborately trace the historical contexts of postwar modernism and industrial design that led to the development of this decisive piece of technology.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Wie kaum ein anderer Architekt der Moderne hat Konrad Wachsmann die Industrialisierung des Bauens vorangetriebenund die daran geknüpften Möglichkeiten einer architektonischen Wende befördert. Wachsmannsuniverseller Standardknoten bildete den Ausgangspunkt für das Bauhaus Lab 2018. Im Schatten desZweiten Weltkriegs war er von ihm entwickelt worden und kam im General Panel System zum Einsatz, das1941 gemeinsam mit Walter Gropius in den Vereinigten Staaten realisiert wurde. Das Graduiertenprogrammhat den historischen Kontext und die Diskurse der transatlantischen Nachkriegsmoderne untersucht, diesich in diesem Metallverbindungsstück bündeln, und nach der zeitgenössischen Relevanz gefragt, die derArchitekturdiskurs um den 'Universalknoten' besaß.
