Work of conceptual architecture by Frederick Kiesler
Endless House is a conceptual work of architecture by Frederick Kiesler.[1] Kiesler used the project to express an elaborate, personal metaphysics based on the concepts of ‘connectivity’, ‘correality’ and ‘biotechnique’. The project was an attempt to merge the spiritual and practical into a new housing typology.[2]
Although the structure was never built to scale, a miniaturized version was constructed for the “Visionary Architects” exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, which included Louis Kahn, Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, and Le Corbusier. Kiesler departed in many ways from the modernist ideals of his contemporaries, objecting to pre-fabrication, rationalism, and orthogonal designs in favor of a curvilinear structure. Reception of the “Endless House” was mixed, garnering the praise of such contemporaries as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns,[3] while receiving criticism for ideas that were considered to be impractical and outlandish. The “Endless House” concept also appeared in the Japanese publication Bokubi in 1963, and Kiesler's posthumously published artistic journals, titled “Inside the Endless House.”[4]
The Endless House model is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.[1]
