Friedrick Kiesler was a strong believer in an elastic spatial concept, one that must be capable of providing an optimum response to the varying social concerns and uses of its occupants. The initial shape of the Endless House shows a flattened spheroid, which became a basis for his Manifesto of Correalism.

Correalism
Term invented in 1939 by the Austro-American Frederick J. Kiesler. He dismissed Functionalism as the ‘mysticism of hygiene’, and argued for an alternative visionary architecture related to spirals, infinity, and eternity. Forms he perceived as points where apparent known forces met invisible, secret, spiritual ones, and that reality was really the interaction of these forces. The nature of their relationships and of the connections between humans, forms, space, time, and the world he called Correalism.

Frederick Kiesler (1896–1966) was an Austrian architect, artist, set designer, and writer. He began his carrer in Vienna, studying at the Technische Hochschule and the Akademie der blidenden Künste. He worked briefly in the office of Adolf Loos, and then in Berlin as a set designer, before emigrating to the United States in 1925. During the 1920s and 1930s, he belonged to De Stijil, the American Union of Decorative Artists and Craftsmen, Buckminster Fuller’s Structural Studies Associates (SSA), and the theater faculty at Juilliard; he also formed the Laboratory of Correalism at Columbia University, and through his association with Marcel Duchamp and the exiled Parisian art community, became the “offical” architect of the surrealists.
