Candela, Isler, Müther: Positions on Shell Construction

Concrete shell construction started to become popular in the mid-20th century as technically advanced designs with conspicuous expressiveness began to appear all over the world. Through three typical protagonists – Félix Candela, Heinz Isler and Ulrich Müther – this title examines this influential construction method. Their work – primarily in Mexico, Switzerland, and the former GDR – was carried out under very different political, economic, social, and cultural conditions.
