Architectural utopias of yesterday and today is the central theme of this well-illustrated foray into the political, technological, and aesthetic aspects of urban design. Carefully selected buildings clearly show how today's architects have confronted the utopian challenge. A detailed analysis shows the liberating power of contemporary architectural visionaries, complete with the full social and cultural context of their creations.

August Macke: 1887-1914

Las primeras tentativas artÃ­sticas de Macke provienen del año 1902. Las láminas del entonces joven de 15 años, primordialmente figuras paisajÃ­sticas y de animales, muestran ya un notable talento para el dibujo, y sorprenden por su marcada tendencia a la reducción esencial.

TASCHEN ESPAÑA, S.A.U.

A style of his own: The colorful work of a truly avant-garde painter In the course of his short life, German painter August Macke (1887–1914) combined inspirations from extremely different sources into a unique and personal style. Macke was engaged with the world, closely following the development of abstract art and at the same time feeling tied to the Blauer Reiter movement of Munich. Macke developed a “flat” yet ornamental style, but always remained true to objective representation. His cheerful scenes of parks, zoos, and promenades with shop windows are filled with bold yet harmonious colors. Their brilliance reached its zenith in 1914 when he traveled with Klee and Moilliet to Tunis and became acquainted with the light of the African sun.
