ARCHITECTURAL SPATIALISATION OF THE RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC ANALYSES IN THE ‘COMMUNAL HOUSING FOR THE FACTORY WORKERS OF THE SOCIALIST STATE’ PROJECT BY P. TOLZINER AND T. WEINER (1930)

Abstract

 This paper focuses on the architectural spatialisation of the results of scientific analyses in the ‘Communal housing for the factory workers of the socialist state’ project (1930) by Philip Tolziner and Tibor Weiner, Bauhaus students during Meyer's era. This paper explores their drawings and Tolziner's text. At first, the results of scientific analyses (social structure, timetable, flow diagram etc.) and the architectural spatialisation of them are discussed. Then, we consider this project from the perspective of architectural education at the Bauhaus, showing that Tolziner and Weiner reached an important solution to the problem of unifying individual scientific analyses into an architectural space.
