Conclusion• KW was destined to stay on the
periphery of practice• He had faith in the imminence of a de-
materialized world in which art, science and technology were united
• Often proved the optimum range of a concept, rather than the pragmatics
• Important for the stance adopted towards material world, rather than specificity of their designs.
