Dietrich-Mohr is one of those tireless researchers whose aim is to assign a different function to metal. Notably, it is with his preferred metals: brass, stainless steel and cor-ten steel that he shows us with great mastery how these metals are ductile. But its specific originality resides less in the choice of the material used than in the repertory of forms that he created. These are treated with a spirit of assemblage, are architecturally in order without, however, submitting to the dogma of geometry, and are balanced between the open and closed forms.
