Description

This paper has examined the sketches by Erich Mendelsohn for the Einstein Tower, classified them by formal features and performed the formal analysis of them. It has clarified various features from the analysis of the podium the expression of the continuation to the ground, from that of the tower the contrast between verticality and horizontality, and from that of the main body the rhythmic expression of masses and the delicate expression of lighted surface. And also characteristic aspects of his design method concerning symmetry, two-point perspective, effect of light on curved surface and linear expression were discussed.
