![]() ![]() “Anatter-of-fact appeal for matter-of-fact work,” wrote Gropius, “would at that time have failed in its purpose, namely, to offer young people full of new ideas a broad basis on which those ideas could be clarified and tested practically.”1 To be sure, students of the Bauhaus and of Walter Gropius's works have not accepted this explanation by the founder of he Bauhaus. In his eighties he explained his two hymn-like utterances at the age of thirty-five as a merely tactical precaution. In his later years Walter Gropius repeatedly disassociated himself from the emphatic proclamations he had published in the spring of 1919 in the pamphlet for the Berlin Exhibition for Unknown Architects and in the first Bauhaus manifesto. ![]() Para Gropius el objetivo último de la nueva arqui-tectura debía lograr la integración del proyecto, la construcción y la economía en un proceso unitario en el que los grupos de trabajo multidisciplinares permitirían superar la división entre el arquitecto, el ingeniero y el constructor. A pesar del relativo fracaso de The Packaged House, su reverberación en el tiempo demuestra el valor catalizador de la experiencia: un hito en el debate en torno a la producción industrial masiva, automatizada y planificada frente a la construcción convencional. Para ello analiza en profundidad las experiencias pre-vias en el campo de la planificación y prefabricación en Alemania y las contrapone a la experiencia común americana del General Panel System, objeto del análisis, con la que encuentra múltiples paralelismos. La ponencia analiza el trabajo en el campo de la industrialización, la prefabricación y la abstracción tridimensional de los arquitectos alemanes Walter Gropius (1983-1969) y Konrad Wachsmann (1901-1980). For Gropius the ultimate goal of the new architecture was to achieve the integration of project, construction and economy in a unitary process in which the multidisciplinary working groups allowed to overcome the traditional division between architect, engineer and contrator. Despite the relative failure of the Packaged House, its reverberation over time demonstrates the catalytic value of experience: a milestone in the debate over massive, automated and planned industrial production versus conventional construction. To this end, it deeply analyses the previous experiences in planning and prefabrication in Germany and contrasts them with the american project of the General Panel System, which it is the main subject of the paper. The paper analyses the work in the field of industrialization, prefabrication and three-dimensional abstraction of the German architects Walter Gropius (1983-1969) and Konrad Wachsmann (1901-1980). ![]()
