Albert and Julius Kahn’s Early Work Albert Kahn, best known for his pioneering work in industrial architecture, namely designing the factories that housed the early assembly lines for Ford, Packard and General Motors, worked in a noticeably different style than his predecessors. Specifically Albert Kahn transitioned the factory designs from traditional mill construction which was characterized by short beam spans, very dark interiors, and generally heavy timber construction which required at least some skilled labor to industrial architecture and the modern factory as we know it today. The industrial designer George Nelson credits Albert Kahn with transitioning the factory from, “a joy to no one save possibly its owners; it was sooty, ugly, a source of blight wherever it appeared; the condition of its workers was appalling beyond belief” to “the status of architecture” (Nelson 7).

Semper’s technique in the work of Albert Kahn Luis Pancorbo University of Virginia. [email protected] Inés Martín-Robles Received 2019.04.05 University of Virginia. [email protected] Accepted 2020.09.16 To cite this article: Pancorbo, Luis, Inés Martín-Robles. “Amerikanische Bekleidung. Semper’s technique in the work of Albert Kahn.” VLC arquitectura 7, no. 2 (October 2020): 31-58. ISSN: 2341-3050. https://doi.org/10.4995/vlc.2020.11624 Resumen: Se plantea una relectura de la obra de Albert Kahn desde las diferentes teorías de Semper para responder a ciertos interrogantes presentes en su obra, como cuál es la razón principal para la enorme heterogeneidad existente entre su obra industrial y no industrial, o cuál es la relación entre la innovación técnica radical y la tradición presente en el conjunto de esta obra. Ambas preguntas, se pueden contestar desde el uso de dos herramientas proyectuales heredadas de Semper: el Bekleidung o principio de revestimiento y el Stoffwechsel. Se realiza un estudio paralelo de la obra de Kahn con otros arquitectos en los que hayan sido encontradas influencias de estas teorías de una forma unánime y documentada por parte de la crítica arquitectónica. Se analiza especialmente la vertiente industrial de la arquitectura de Kahn, ya que no es concebible que este tipo de influencia, tan evidente en sus edificios de oficinas, comerciales y públicos, no tuviera ninguna permeabilidad en su obra de espacios de producción. Para ello se estudian edificios que hacen de puente entre estas dos “tradiciones,” como el conjunto para la U.S Aviation School en Langley Field y el Natural Science Building en Ann Arbor entre otros.
