Behrendt, Walter Curt (1884–1945). German-born American architect and architectural writer. He worked with the Ministry for Housing and Town Planning (1919–26) and in the Ministry of Finance (1927–33), in which positions he promoted the
Modern Movement in public building projects in Prussia and throughout the Weimar Republic. Like others of the avant-garde, he had been involved in the
Deutscher Werkbund, and later joined Der
Ring. He left Germany in 1934 and settled in the USA, where he taught at Buffalo, NY (1937–41), Dartmouth College, Hanover (1941–5), and elsewhere. He became a disciple of Frank Lloyd
Wright. His writings include
Städtebau und Wohnungswesen in den Vereinigten Staaten (Town Planning and Housing in the United States–1926),
Der Sieg des neuen Baustils (The Victory of the New Architectural Style–1927),
Modern Building: Its Nature, Problems, and Forms (1937), and
Roots of Contemporary American Architecture (1972).

Vibration isolation solutions at the FDA's new lab: when it was decided that the FDA's OSEL would be moving, officials sought to address vibration isolation in the new building upfront so they wouldn't bring this issue with them from the previous facility. This article reviews the steps they took in order to ease concerns over this significant problem while also examining the solutions selected.(Case in Point)
