This catalog collects research conducted at the Bauhaus in 2018 focusing on the decisive and historic importance of the universal wedge connector, one of Wachsmann's key contributions that radically expanded the capacity for industrialized home production in its deceptively simple design, saving considerable time and cost. The collected texts by scientists and designers position the connector as \"the cornerstone of an industrialized building system,\" and elaborately trace the historical contexts of postwar modernism and industrial design that led to the development of this decisive piece of technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Andrzejewski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3959052847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959052849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.70h x 4.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Elizabeth Andrzejewski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48998501744895,"sku":"9783959052849","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-joining-elizabeth-andrzejewski-9783959052849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
