OverviewBilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Architecture shapes people, and people shape architecture. This illustrated volume delves into the personalities and thoughts of those who designed the buildings that give form to our times. Ingrid von Kruse’s very personal portrait photography is complemented by statements in which renowned present-day architects throw light upon what architecture means to them personally. A selection of sketches, drawings and models rounds off the examination of their artistic ideas and their thinking. Within the context of this broad, composite view, the architects as they see themselves and the ideals that lie behind their ideas attain clear contours.

Weil jede abgebildete Architektenpersönlichkeit handschriftlich einen Leitgedanken zur Arbeit formuliert hat. Es ist besonders, weil die Beschäftigung mit den Portraits, mit den Zeichnungen und geäußerten Gedanken nachdenklich macht und dazu anregt über gelebte Träume, gute Architektur und das Wechselspiel mit dem Menschen nachzudenken. - Franziska Puhan-Schulz für die db Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
