Hardback. Condition: New. In 95 , Konrad Wachsmann and his department at the IIT received a commission from the US Air Force to investigate no less than a completely new method of construction based on the structural models he had already developed. The iconographic model of the US Air Force Hangar developed from this work was a true "turning point in building": the structure designed represents an almost futurist promise of a fully industrialized building culture, the conceptual image of which also became the direct inspiration for various architectural avant-gardes. Stressing Wachsmann attempts to finally place Konrad Wachsmann's achievement appropriately in architectural history and to critically compare the mental and material conditions involved in the construction of buildings at that time and today.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In 1951, Konrad Wachsmann and his department at the IIT received a commission from the US Air Force to investigate no less than a completely new method of construction based on the structural models he had already developed.

Das aus dieser Arbeit entwickelte ikonografische Modell des USAF-Hangars war ein tatsächlicher 'Wendepunkt im Bauen': Die entworfene Struktur stellt ein nahezu futuristisches Versprechen einer voll industrialisierten Baukultur dar, deren Bildhaftigkeit zugleich unmittelbare Grundlage diverser Architekturavantgarden wurde. Stressing Wachsmann unternimmt den Versuch, Konrad Wachsmanns Leistung für die Architekturgeschichte endlich angemessen zu verorten und dabei auch die geistigen wie materiellen Bedingungen des Konstruierens von damals und heute kritisch miteinander zu vergleichen.
