This chapter introducesOrganic architecture Michael Balz’s initial exploration of UrschalenUrschalen, prototype organically formed shells for dwellings, which he carried out in his mother’s sculpture atelier and the first steps in his long-standing professional collaboration with Swiss engineer, Heinz IslerIsler, Heinz. It illuminates his vision to find a form of living environment that accommodates organically to the needs of life, while taking advantage of the latest shell construction methods of the time—the late 1960s. It concludes with individual designs for in-situ concrete shell dwellings, including a proposal for a house for Heinz Isler, and proposals for ‘bio-segment’Bio-segmentmodularModularprefabricatedPrefabricated shells, intended for mass production.
