Defining Moment:

Early 1920s — body as geometry; order set the language

Oskar Schlemmer

(

1888–1943

)

ohs-kar shlem-mer

Schlemmer built a world where movement obeyed geometry.

His "Triadic Ballet" choreographed proportion itself — the body measured by circle, square, and line.

‍

Space became choreography, architecture turned kinetic.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Oskar Schlemmer’s work, this approach appears where the body becomes geometric system.

Position

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Oskar Schlemmer’s work, this approach appears where the body becomes geometric system.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Art, design, and architecture are unified through rational structure and material clarity.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Geometry as ethics

Color as reason

In Dialogue

László Moholy-Nagy

Light as structure

Line as intuition
