Abstract
R. M. Schindler's Schindler Shelters designs for low-cost, mass-producible housing are significant and innovative. This project illustrates Schindler's longtime interest in flexible design strategies and integrated construction systems underpinning his Space Architecture. In the Shelter project, systematic design strategies are used to achieve flexible layouts for mass-produced dwellings. The panel-post construction system is developed as a means of achieving this goal; the system uses unit components and allows for interchangeable assembly of its parts. This study reconstructs the archival material related to the project by analyzing housing layout variations to reveal the underlying logic of Schindler's scheme and by fabricating scaled models to simulate the construction process.
