Correalistiv Manifest

Kiesler’s neologism contains the terms co-realism and correlation, referring to the interrelation of three environments: the natural, the human and the technical environment. The human being is at the centre of these interrelations, which Kiesler also refers to as interacting forces. Having published the ground-breaking article “On Correalism and Biotechnique” in 1939, Kiesler’s Correalism- research in the 1940s and 1950s focused on the critique of “pseudo-functionalism” and modernism, which he saw as favouring the “arbitrary separation of architecture into art, technology and economy.”
