Architectural context

About Horst Welser

Horst Welser was a German architect who designed the Spherical Laboratories ("Kugellabore") in Berlin — Functionalist industrial structures whose spherical forms are dictated entirely by their technical purpose. These research facilities, built for aerodynamic testing, are remarkable examples of architecture shaped purely by engineering requirements.
