	Erich Mendelsohn and the Architecture of German Modernism - Cambridge University Press
		Erich Mendelsohn’s buildings, erected throughout Germany between 1920 and 1932, epitomised architectural modernity for his countrymen.
		Demonstrating the degree to which their dynamic presence stemmed from Mendelsohn’s attention to their consumer-oriented functions, James shows Mendelsohn to be more than an Expressionist, as he is usually characterised.
		She also illustrates how much Mendelsohn’s thriving practice depended on the patronage of fellow German Jews, many of whom shared his commitment to creating alternatives to the nationalistic historicism of the late Wilhelmine period.

		Erich Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower at the Astrophysical Institute in Potsdam
		In 1920 the young architect Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) was given the opportunity to design an observatory for the purpose of making measurements that might validate Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.
		That Mendelsohn never built anything again that remotely resembled the Einstein Tower may be attributed to this disenchanting first-hand experience with on-site poured concrete.

		Mendelsohn offered his services to Sörgel for the planning of the new coastline of Palestine, which would have been radically different with the reclaiming of the new land created by the Atlantropa project.
		It is known that, in 1932, Sörgel himself was reflecting on the effects of these geographical changes on Palestine in relation to the question of the foundation of a Jewish State.
		Nevertheless, in 1932, a few months before his emigration, Mendelsohn supported the Atlantropa plan in a manifesto-style speech given in Zurich.

	Mossehaus Berlin by Erich Mendelsohn
		Mendelsohn, responsible for a number of streamlined buildings in Berlin in the 1920s, was commissioned to reconstruct and enlarge the building.
		Mendelsohn grafted a new corner and top onto the existing, conventional structure.
		Mendelsohn’s buildings explored the dynamic of movement; while they became increasingly influenced by modernism, they retained their distinctive expressive qualities.

		James is good on Mendelsohn’s relations with the United States, his connections with Wright and Neutra, and the content of the photo-album he published on his return.
		But best of all, she outlines convincingly the ingredients of Mendelsohn’s subtle urbanism and its relation to new forms of commerce and technology.
		Commercial architecture is perhaps inevitably short-lived, but when key examples in the development of a type are lost, let alone works representative of a major creative talent in as fertile a period as the Weimar Republic, it must be counted cultural deprivation.

	Einstein Tower - Erich Mendelsohn - Great Buildings Online
		"Erich Mendelsohn's small, but powerfully modeled tower, built to symbolize the greatness of the Einsteinian concepts, was also a quite functional house.
		Mendelsohn was after a completely plastic kind of building, moulded rather than built, without angles and with smooth, rounded corners.
		He needed a malleable material like reinforced concrete, which could be made to curve and create its own surface plasticity, but due to post-war shortages, some parts had to be in brick and others in concrete.

	Erich Mendelsohn: The Einstein Tower
		We trace the genesis of its design back to Erich Mendelsohn's letters and sketches sent from the front during the First World War.
		The rounded, irregular forms of the tower were inspired by his passion for music and his interest in Einstein's revolutionary ideas; but the technical problems were daunting in the extreme.
		It is a tribute to the brilliance of Mendelsohn and the enthusiasm of his client, Dr Freundlich, that such a complex and beautiful concept ever actually materialized.

	Erich Mendelsohn's "Amerika" - German Corner
		In the early 1920s the brilliant young German architect Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953), who had already dazzled the international architectural community with his bizarre, highly sculptured Einstein Tower in Potsdam, visited America, making a series of memorable photographs intended to capture the American urban architectural landscape.
		Mendelsohn's photographs offer unique perspectives on the American cityscape-the point of view of the trained observer with an eye for the new, and of the European fascinated by what seemed to him distinctively American.
		The newly translated Foreword offers Mendelsohn's commentary on his photographic journey, while his captions identify the buildings and locales he photographed.
