Judaism, Einstein and Modern Architecture

Rudolf Klein

Sažetak

This paper establishes links between Judaic heritage, Einstein’s ideas, and modern architecture. It analyses the influences of Judaism on Albert Einsten’s notions of space-time, theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and discovers their impact on the concepts of 20th century architecture, such as Adolf Loos’ Raumplan, Erich Mendelsohn’s speed end energy and Sigfried Giedion’s Raumzeit and simultaneity. The impact of László Moholy-Nagy and El Lissitzky is also dealt with. The paper shortly discusses some post-modernists and deconstructivists, who applied further Judaic concepts in their theories and buildings during the fin de milleneum.
