“The name of architect Fritz Haller is inseparably linked with the USM furniture system, an icon of Swiss design. Haller’s interest in geometry, standardization and prefabrication and his lifelong search for structures that can be adapted to the changing needs of their users came about with the development of this system.”
I saw Haller’s 1968 "Schematischer Übersichtsplan" for Berlin in Radikal Modern at the Berlinische Galerie, but can’t find any documentation online. (The “schematic overview plan” was for Berlin, and proposed - not entirely seriously I think - a city for a billion people by covering the entire territory of Berlin with slab high-rise buildings irrespective of local geography.)
