Title: | Albert Kahn, Industriearchitekt |
Abstract: | Am 8. Dezember 2012 jährte sich der 70. Todestag von Albert Kahn, dessen innovative Industriebauten am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Amerika und weltweit Schule gemacht haben. Wie kein anderer hat er die Industriearchitektur revolutioniert, die sich wegen ihrer sachlichen und technischen Aufgabenstellung im 19. Jahrhundert als Stiefkind der Architektur im Schatten des Eklektizismus nur schwer behaupten konnte. Er wies den Weg zu einer primär konstruktiv bestimmten Industriearchitektur. Albert Kahn, Architect of Ford Seventy years ago, on the 8th of December 2012, Albert Kahn died at the age of 73. He developed new types of manufacturing facilities, particularly automobile plants, which soon attracted the attention of avantgarde architects. He revolutionized the design for factory buildings, which until then had been frowned upon by the École des Beaux-Arts trained architects and freed industrial architecture from the traditional stylistic rules of design. He showed the way to a primarily constructive architectural design. |
