precast modular forms

ds2la

Hey does anybody know the artist that did interwoven precast forms??? He created screens out of them.
His name is escaping me. He has a book out of his work.
thanks

no doubt.

I had to quote this, from the article above:

'What Schoen documented was a type of three-dimensional surface he later named the Innercore-Wrapped Package (I-WP), which Hauer had intuitively discovered on his own more than a decade earlier. NASA scientists—interested in the potential material applications of synthetic microstructures—had tried to patent the I-WP only to find that one of Hauer’s patents for the continua had beat them to it. “They had to sharpen their own patent description until it no longer infringed on mine,” Hauer says. “It took them a year.”'
