Average Customer Ratings:

Our 2004 book Erwin Hauer Continua resurrected the extraordinary but little known work of this Austrian-born sculptor whose designs of perforated wall screens and modular structures are symphonies of measured elegance. Now available in paperback, Erwin Hauer Continua gathers stunning photographs, drawings, and descriptions of these classic works of design. 'Following a geometric recipe of his own divining, Hauer was able to discover extraordinarily complex patterns that possess a large measure of depth and beauty.' —Architecture Erwin Hauer has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and his sculptures can be found in many public and corporate collections. He continues his work as a sculptor and is Professor Emeritus at the Yale University School of Art.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Amazing Book -
If you want a book that can be used as a tool for deriving patterns and architectural forms, this is a great book to add to the library. Very innovative works.

good -
this book is done very nicely and provides me with aesthetic and informative material !!

Erwin Hauer: Continua--Architectural Screens and Walls -
Excellent b+w illustrations and clear layout. Very informative and inspiring works.

The logic of form -
The Greeks used the word LOGOS to refer to reasonable speech, articulated reasoning expressed in words. Our modern word LOGIC derives from this root. Erwin Hauer has, over the many years of his career as a working artist, elaborated a visible LOGOS, a logos not of words but of forms. These forms were initially realized to serve a commercial, architectural purpose -- they were built as walls or screens -- but the logic they embody will delight, or thrill, any observer who pays close attention to the display they present. One comes to suspect that this logic, and not just the commercial commision that occasioned them, is the driving force behind Hauer's investigation.

The book is designed and produced with an eye towards clarity and precision, making it totally in sympathy with the vision it presents. Anyone who enjoys seeing an idea recognized, seized, and elaborated with intense concentration will enjoy this book.
