“Between the corporeal units there lie the various empty fields of tension that hold the parts together like planets in a void“ (Manifeste du corréalisme, F. Kiesler).
The Endless House is called the “endless” because all ends and meet continously. It is endless like the human body. There is no beginning and end to it. The “Endless” is rather sensuous. More like the female body in contrast to sharp-angled male architecture. All ends meet in the “Endless” as they meet in life. Life’s rhythms are cyclical. All ends of living meet during twenty-four hours, during a week, a lifetime.
Kiesler talked repeatedly about an elastic spatial concept, wich must be capable, even in a small house, of providing an optimun response to the very varied social concerns of its occupants.
“Since Kiesler’s death in 1965, his notion of Endless Space and his studies of the Endless House in particular, have resurfaced in recent architectural discourse. New technologies have emerged that are now provoking different questions regarding the tectonics and material potentials within the concept of The Endless House” (Frederick Kiesler – Inside the Endless House, Matthew Krissel).
