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.

Résumé:
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. With "Konrad Wachsmann and the Grapevine Structure", Swiss architect Christian Sumi synthesizes years of careful research into a compelling look at the career and lifetime contributions of this highly creative architect.

Résumé:
The book describes the history of the construction of the original factory, on the other, its architectural restoration and transformation. Attention is paid to the history of the Van Nelle Company and its relation to the dynamic development of the harbour of Rotterdam. The inspirations and the life of director and patron Kees van der Leeuw are dealt with in some detail, and for the first time, the architecture, in which Van der Leeuw was involved, is positioned in a broader spiritual context. The design of the factory was not purely functional, but forms and colours seem to reflect a theosophical search for a higher level, which comes out, for one, in the analysis of the interiors. In addition to the illuminating descriptions of the construction process, shown in many contemporary photographs, the book examines the evolving social aspects of the time, the working conditions of the factory personnel and the well thought out logistics of the production process. The entire production process is reconstructed in a large fold-out drawing. The book also gives a great deal of consideration to influence of photography on the conceptualization of the complex and the questions that architectural historians have been posing for years. For example, the question of whether or not Mart Stam was the actual author of Van Nelle is answered in substantial detail. The problems of the modern day monument and the role of building conservation, the developer and the modern day architect are given considerable thought. In addition, the book describes the design of the old and new outdoor spaces in the complex.

Résumé:
"Modernism: designing a new world" is the first book to explore Modernism in the designed world from a truly international perspective, and across all the arts. It offers a reassessment of the idea of Modernism and reveals the fundamental ways in which it has shaped our own world and its visual culture. Modernism flourished during the years 1914 to 1939. As a movement it was the key point of reference for 20th century architecture, design and art. Modernists had an utopian desire to create a better world, frequently combined with social and political beliefs that design and art could transform society. The range of objects illustrated – including painting, sculpture, film, photography, prints and collage as well as architecture, interiors, furniture, manufactured products, graphic and fashion design – reflect the period’s emphasis on the unity of the arts and the key role of the fine arts in shaping contemporary visual culture. Europe and America take centre stage but the reach of Modernism is demonstrated by selected works from around the world, including Russia, Palestine and Japan.
