When the article talks about manufacturability, I wonder what was the actual state of German manufacturing in 1925, or worldwide for that matter. What we think of as modern manufacturing developed much later, and its epicenter has moved from country to country -- America, Japan, China, etc.
Still, the point remains that the artists did not always dream up practical designs. Buckminster Fuller wasn't exactly an engineer -- I don't think he had a degree. In my own neck of the woods, we have the movement surrounding Frank Lloyd Wright. I've been in a few of his buildings, and they are maintenance nightmares.
