Konrad Wachsmann And The Grapevine Structure
German modernist architect Konrad Wachsmann (1901–1980) had a career-spanning interest in construction processes—in 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 today’s industrialized construction
Many contemporary masters, such as Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, have taken inspiration from and paid homage to Wachsmann’s forward-thinking work
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
