"Transparency" is a key text and required reading for all students of modern architecture. As members of the 1950s group known as the "Texas Rangers", Colin Rowe and Robert Slutzky tested new methods for teaching and developing architectural design skills. Through their exploration of the common basis of modern art and architecture they identified and elaborated on the concept of transparency as a fundamental principle of spatial organisation, beyond the curtain wall. Their essay titled Transparency, first published in 1964, provided the theoretical and didactical fundament, exemplified and illustrated by 2 of Le Corbusier s buildings.

Der 1964 publizierte Aufsatz Transparenz von Colin Rowe und Robert Slutzky gehört zu den Grundlagentexten der Architektur-Ausbildung unserer Zeit. Rowe und Slutzky bildeten in den fünfziger Jahren zusammen mit John Hejduk, Werner Seligmann und Bernhard Hoesli die Architektengruppe der «Texas Rangers» der University of Texas in Austin. Im Rahmen ihrer Lehrtätigkeit versuchten sie eine neue Methode für den architektonischen Entwurf zu entwickeln. Der Text entwickelt gegen die bloße Durchsichtigkeit einer Curtain Wall die übertragene Bedeutung von Transparenz als einer räumlichen Ordnung. Die deutsche Ausgabe von Transparenz erschien erstmals 1968 als kritische Edition des Instituts für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur (gta) der ETH Zürich mit einem Kommentar von Bernhard Hoesli. Die vierte Auflage ist durch eine neue Einführung von Werner Oechslin erweitert, in der er vor allem Bernhard Hoeslis Bedeutung für die Entstehung und Verbreitung von Transparenz kritisch würdigt.
