The lectures were rst held in November 2006 at the University of Buenos

Aires, Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (FADU) and repeated and

recorded at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Design in Dessau

April to June 2007.

The lectures lead to signicant changes in structural thinking, engineering andarchitectural design in the modern era which are far from being obvious.

The new ways of guring out structural behavior correspond more directly

than shape or form-giving with the scientic approaches and discoveries of

the time. Groundbreaking theories of modern science, like Einstein´s theory of

relativity and gravitation seemed to have “no practical application” and no re-

lation to everyday-life.

However, we nd tendencies in structural development that correspond more

or less directly with the treatment of problems in physics or the life sciences.

Focusing these correspondences the artifacts of engineering, architecture and

design can be seen by their construction as corresponding corporal members

in theories of architecture and design for a long period of time. It was only in

the development of “articial intelligence” that the question of embodimentbecame crucial for the unfolding of mind in the implementation of intelligence

in artifacts. The “architectures of space-time” show changing patterns of under-

standing corporeality.

The author

 Joachim Krausse is known for his research and publications on Buckminster

Fuller. He conceived and co-curated together with Claude Lichtenstein and the

Museum of Design Zürich the international travelling exhibition “Your Private

Sky. R. Buckminster Fuller – The Art of Design Science” 1999 – 2002. (2 Vols.

Published with Lars Müller, publisher, Baden Switzerland 1999 and 2001).

Academical trained in philosophy, literature and cultural studies he graduated

at the Freie Universität Berlin and later received an PhD from the University

in Bremen. He researched in the eld of the history of building and dwelling,

realized nine documentary lms on housing and dwelling for german public TV

(WDR) 1973 – 1985. Published case studies on key objects of modern technical

culture, e.g. the Einsteintower, the Zeissplanetarium, the bicycle, the Frankfurter

Kitchen.

Teaching since 1970 he is a retired professor for design theory at Anhalt Uni-

versity of Applied Sciences in Dessau, founded 2002 the International Master

Program Integrated Design (MAID) and is member of the staff of Coop Design

Research at the Bauhaus Dessau. Since 1991 he is a permanent collaborator of

the architectural magazine ARCH+.
