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.
