Paul Schatz:
The World Is Invertible - Rhythm Research and Technology
3rd expanded and revised edition
(available only in German)
The world is invertible. The world is rhythmic. Based on this perspective of wood sculptor, engineer, and inventor Paul Schatz, this book introduces you to a new vision and dimension of things. Paul Schatz's expedition leads to amazing developments as to design, a new comprehension of geometric and architectural space, and a new kind of engineering. Oloids and cuboids are beautiful shapes that captivate. Turbula and Inversina mixers are successfully used in industry, the oloid in the water industry and environmental engineering. The book conveys Paul Schatz's oeuvre mediating between the arts and science and encouraging the works of philosophers as well as practitioners.

Technology and Design
Collected Works
(available only in German)
The present series of papers from the 1930s and 1960s present an independent
and original struggle between the two opposite disciplines of human activities.
In his times, Paul Schatz was a lonely warner against the destruction of
the environment and promoter of man's responsibility in dealing with our
planet. Here, a Swiss pioneer of environmental engineering has his say who
was prompted by the threat of radioactivity, DDT, and water pollution to
ask for the ethical principles of engineering and technology that, ultimately,
can only ever be based on a continued development of the social sciences
and humanities.
