gta Verlag, 2025
€69,00
With an impressive portfolio of over one thousand reinforced concrete shells, Heinz Isler (1926–2009) gained an international reputation as a designer of spatial structures. His practice was based on experimental methodologies that differed vastly from conventional approaches. This same pioneering spirit led the Swiss engineer to explore innovative materials and techniques in the building industry throughout his career. By making his complete oeuvre accessible through essays, selected projects, a list of built works, archival materials, and photographs, this is the first book to comprehensively examine Isler’s work from both an engineering and cultural-historical perspective.
