    18 & 19 October 2012 Technische Universität Berlin (Campus Wedding) Germany This fall marks the 125th anniversary of the birth Franz Anton Dischinger – a civil engineer, who can be considered one of the most important representatives of his profession in the 20th century. Dischinger is especially known for his visionary contributions to thin concrete shell construction (and the resulting "Zeiss-Dywidag shells") in the 1920s and 1930s. Many aspects in connection with Dischinger’s work in this field are, however, still unknown, such as the wider context of his activity in thin concrete shell design and construction. Research on pre-war thin concrete shell construction usually focuses on national engineering heroes and, thus, often ignores the fact of an extensive cross-border exchange of information on the latest technical improvements. The symposium “Shell Pioneers”, conjointly arranged by the Chair of Construction History and Structural Preservation of the BTU Cottbus and the Chair of Conceptual and Structural Design of the TU Berlin, wants to close this knowledge gap. A group of leading experts will discuss the international dimension in the work of some of the most important innovators in the field of early thin shell construction. Naturally, special attention will be paid to the role of Dischinger, whose theoretical and practical work was so widely influential. The event will be conducted in English. Detailed information on the program is provided on the attached leaflet. Registration forms and further information can be found at http://www.tu-cottbus.de/fakultaet2/en/construction-history/chair/franz-dischinger-symposium.html. For any further questions please feel free to contact Dr.-Ing. Arndt Goldack (arndt.goldack@tu-berlin.de) or Dr.-Ing. Roland May (roland.may@tu-cottbus.de).

    An International Symposium in Commemoration of the 125th Anniversary of the Birth of Franz Dischinger

    Shell Pioneers
    Thu 18.10.12/Fri 19.10.12

    Franz Dischinger (18871953) is an indisputably significant 20th-century civil engineer. Many aspects in connection with his work are still unknown, such as the wider context of his activity in thin concrete shell design and construction. Research on prewar thin concrete shell construction usually focuses on national engineering heroes. The extensive cross-border exchange of information on the latest technical improvements, however, makes it fairly implausible that these engineers were unaffected by the developments in other countries. The symposium Shell Pioneers wants to close this knowledge gap. A group of leading experts will therefore discuss the international dimension in the work of some of the most important innovators in the field of early thin shell construction. Special attention will be paid to the role of Dischinger, whose theoretical and practical work was so widely influential.
