Designer

Wet cell, by Günther L. Eckert, 1967
Wet cell, acrylic, 1967, Günther Ludwig Eckert

Eckert was the inventor and developer of the kit process. Load-bearing facade frames in the format of a loggia were stacked as the front and rear of a building. Porters linked both sides. Floor slabs were placed on top. An individual interior design was carried out on this basis. With his protected “kit method”, he was able to erect buildings up to 26 floors extremely quickly. This was first used in the 1972 Olympic buildings.

In addition, Eckert was the inventor and developer of the “ wet cell ”. It was built in with the construction of a floor. This was also used for the first time in the 1972 Olympic buildings.

His utopia “The Tube” emerged later, an accommodation of humanity based on a perfect society in a gigantic, above-ground tube that spanned the earth.
