This book traces the ideal of total environmental control through
the intellectual and geographic journey of Knud Loenberg- Holm, a
forgotten Danish architect who promoted a unique systemic,
cybernetic, and ecological vision of architecture in the 1930s. A
pioneering figure of the new objectivity and international
constructivism in Germany in 1922 and a celebrated peer of radical
figures in De Stijl, the Bauhaus, and Russian constructivism, when
he emigrated to Detroit in 1923 he introduced the vanguard theory
of productivism through his photography, essays, designs, and
pedagogy. By following Loenberg- Holm's ongoing matrix of relations
until the postwar era with the European vanguards in CIAM and
former members of the Structural Study Associates (SSA), especially
Fuller, Frederick Kiesler, and C. Theodore Larson, this study shows
how their definition of building as a form of environmental control
anticipated the contemporary disciplines of industrial ecology,
industrial metabolism, and energy accounting.
