Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Adolf Meyer was Walter Gropius's right-hand man, his planner and close confidant. As early as 1910, they jointly created the Fagus Factory, one of the most important modernist buildings. The experimental single-family home "Haus am Horn" was built for the first Bauhaus exhibition, in the summer of 1923 in Weimar. The house was planned by Georg Muche (design) and the architectural department at the Bauhaus. Adolf Meyer and Walter March were responsible for construction management. The book about the project was compiled in the summer of 1924 and became the third volume of the Bauhausbucher. Following an essay by Walter Gropius that supplies information on the "Housing Industry," Georg Muche presents the design of the model building. Adolf Meyer then describes its technical execution, giving details on the companies involved.

Motto: "Die logische Anordnung des Materials eines Wissensgebietes ist eine sehr ernste und wich tige Angelegenheit, sie ist zum mindesten ebenso wichtig, wie die Ermittlung neuer Einzeltatsachen, es seien denn solche von ganz grundlegender Be deutung. Denn diese Anordnung ist in gewissem Grade die" Wissenschaft. selbst. DRIESCH. Die moderne Biologie befindet sich heute in einer ahnlichen theoretischen Lage wie die Physik urn die Mitte des vorigen J ahr hunderts, als das iiberkommene Gewand einer Einteilung nach den Sinnesgebieten anfing, ihr zu eng zu werden. Wie die Physik sich damals, vornehmlich als Folge der Energetik, freimachte von der Bevormundung durch die Sinne, so ist die heutige Biologie iiberall bestrebt, das ihr zu eng gewordene, an der reinen Morphologie orien tierte Gewand abzustreifen und iiberall physiologische Gesichtspunkte maBgebend werden zu lassen. Statt von Formen spricht man heute iiberall von "Systemen." So will die Entwicklungsphysiologie (Ent wicklungsmechanik Rouxs) die Formbildung seIber physiologisch kausal untersuchen, wahrend das andere Hauptgebiet der kausalen Morphologie, die Vererbungslehre, die form- und funktionsphysio logisch letzten Anlagen der werdenden und fertigen Formen als phy siologische Konstitutionen - Genome - begreifen will. Wo abel' gehobelt wird, da fallen Spane, und unter diesen Spanen befindet sich manche auch heute noch wertvolle, rein morphologische Kon zeption. Die reine Morphologie wird in ihrer theoretisch-Iogischen Struktur und Leistung nicht selten vergewaltigt, so z. B. von GOEBEL, wenn er als Morphologie nur noch gelten laBt, was "noch nicht Phy siologie" ist. Das geht entschieden viel zu weit."
