The Einstein Tower: Intertexture of Dynamic Con. Hentschel, Hentschel<|
The Einstein TowerAn Intertexture of Dynamic Construction, Relativity Theory, and Astronomy
Author(s): Klaus Hentschel, Ann M. Hentschel
Format: Hardback
Publisher: Stanford University Press, United States
Imprint: Stanford University Press
ISBN-13: 9780804728249, 978-0804728249
Synopsis
This book focuses on the \""Einstein Tower,\"" an architecturally historic observatory built in Potsdam in 1920 to allow the German astronomer Erwin Finlay Freundlich to attempt to verify experimentally Einstein's general theory of relativity. Freundlich, who was the first German astronomer to show a genuine interest in Einstein's theory, managed to interest his architect friend Erich Mendelsohn in designing this unique building. Freundlich's researches were not a success; he came to doubt the very theory he was attempting to prove. (Adequate technology to test Einstein's theory lay many decades in the future.) By contrast, as an experiment in modernist architecture, the building led to internat.
