Inspiration

Best known for his amazing free-form shell structures, Heinz Isler has inspired both architects and engineers with his dazzling creations. Isler's primary medium of expression is the reinforced concrete shell. Isler's sensitivity for the natural world is expressed in the quiet beauty of the shell forms that he has designed, which merge more easily into the landscape than most modern buildings. He created structures of high efficiency with the lowest possible environmental impactand  and was always searching for rather unconventional solutions.
