Description

Concerning the thought of Erich Mendelsohn around the time when Einstein Tower, the masterpiece of Expressionism, was designed, the records of lectures and the personal letters etc. were analyzed in comparison to the visionary architectural sketches, and the theoretical base for the formation with curved surface was examined. As a result, it is clarified that there was a structure of synthesis based upon the dualism, namely, the pursuit of the monolithic unification by means of curved surface and the pursuit of the technological rationalism under the influence of the works by H. van de Velde and W. Gropius.
