Abstract (English)

"In 1919, the Gläserne Kette - or 'Glass Chain' - exchanged radical, visionary ideas of formal extravagance and technologically advanced societies through letters and drawings. The central figure in this circle was Berlin-based architect Bruno Taut; others involved included Hans Scharoun, Wenzel Hablik, Hermann Finsterlin and Walter Gropius. Adopting pseudonyms in their letters allowed the Chain to propose increasingly speculative schemes and fantastic forms for an alternative utopian society. Whilst the original correspondents were limited to monochrome prints sent by post, this project aims to reinvigorate their Expressionist creativity using the creative technologies available to us a century on." -- Publisher's website
