About William Katavolos
Professor of Architecture
Pratt Institute
Brooklyn, NY
Professor W. Katavolos has been part of the Architecture School at
Pratt Institute since the sixties. He is co-director of the Center for
Experimental Structures. Over the years liquid architecture has been
developed there. His early furniture is in the permanent collections
of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of art and the
Louvre.
As a consulting designer he created the Time-Life and Owens Corning
partition systems, the suspension ring system for the Moscow Fair, the
Agricultural and Solar Pavilions for Salonika. His manifesto,
Organics, published in Holland in 1961 became the basis for chemical
architecture. His theory of the fundamental structure of nature is
being prepared for publication. He lives with his wife, Terenia in Key
West and New York.
