Stadtgestalt Als Prozess: Versuch Zur Entsprechung Von Stadt Und Gesellschaft An Einem Bewusstseinsgeschichtlichen Modell

Pahl, Jürgen.

Wasmuth

A facsimile of the treatise that secured Wright's reputation in Europe, this elegant volume includes plans and drawings of all his projects up to 1910. In the ""Prairie houses,"" vaguely preColumbian forms, adaptations of Japan's light-paneled architecture and intricate wooden moldings are fused into the style Wright termed ""organic,"" even though his buildings of this period seldom made direct references to nature. The monumental Larkin Building and Unity Temple, at once abstract and classical, were experiments in what he called a ""democratic"" vernacular. In the introductory essay, Wright proclaims his contempt for the recent past and embraces the International Style. Europeans were entranced by his abstraction, yet it is his wayward individualism that shines through in the sketches. Printed on cream stock in sepia inks, the album is for connoisseurs and serious students.

Making no claim to objectivity or exhaustive inclusiveness, Udo Hesse presents photographic portraits of 66 architects who have played a major role in shaping the new face of Berlin. Some of the people behind the buildings include Norman Foster, Zaha M. Hadid, Helmut Jahn, Daniel Liebeskind, Dominique Perrault, and Renzo Piano. Hesse's penetrating photographs are supplemented by the architects' own insights into their unique approaches and working methods.

Twenty projects by one of Germany's most important architects are presented here, in photographs, illustrations and explanatory ground plans. Winner of the Pritzker Prize in 1986, Gottfried Bohm has built a diverse body of work that includes the multiuse WDR arcades in Cologne, the administrative headquarters of Zublin AG in Stuttgart, the Peek + Cloppenburg store in Berlin and the Beutsche Bank and Philharmonie in Luxembourg.

A tremendous hit at Expo 2000 in Hanover, the two exhibits documented here offer the world both a backward glance at itself and a look forward. "Planet of Visions" brings the utopias of world history into contemporary consciousness by projecting historic visions in gigantic panoramic scenes; "The Twenty-First Century" proposes interpretations of the key themes likely to affect our planet over the 100 years.

Helmut Jacoby is probably the foremost architectural renderer of our times--and indeed perhaps the last, as the craft of perspective drawing comes to be replaced by computer animation. His presentation drawings, in ink and ink spray, of works by such masters as Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Marcel Breuer and SOM constitute a panoramic sweep of the innovations of Modernism in North America during the 1950s and 1960s, and set the standard for architectural presentation. This volume is the first publication of all of Jacoby's output.

With ever more people flying to ever more places, airport design grows ever more prominent, relevant and fascinating. Leading German firm JSK Architekten has worked intensely in this burgeoning field, balancing innovation and practicality with an emphasis on the human scale. Completed and ongoing projects in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Berlin and Athens are illustrated here, along with competition designs for airports in Hong Kong and Shanghai. This is Wasmuth's second volume on the work of JSK Architekten.

Jsk Architects: Airports

Light and shadow belong together. Yet the increasing number of artificial light sources on earth are resulting in continuously decreasing zones of shadow and darkness. In architecture, the growing use of glass and other translucent layers questions the very significance of shadows. Do they protect against or cause a loss of brightness? Do we even need shadows today at all? The Secret of the Shadow explores these "holes in the light" through perceptual psychology, historical accounts of their use in architectural teaching, and an overview of their role in classical modern architecture. Additionally, 50 "shadow seekers" from around the world, including Pritzker Prize-winning architects Tadao Ando and Sverre Fehn, contributed a work of their own that reveals the importance of shadows in contemporary architectural concepts.

The Dokkaebi, Korean goblins who have soft spots for pretty girls and hedonistic feasts, thrive in folktales and as gargoyle-like ornamental totems. Throughout Korean history, they have been interpreted as evil spirits, bogeymen or ghosts of the dead, but always phantoms that bewitch, play tricks on, and make fun of human beings with their grim, uncommon powers and strange talents. Some are said to look very much like humans, some like fantastic animals, and some like dragon-esque hybrids. Here, source photographs of traditional representations accompany stark, strikingly tattoo-like black-and-white designs based on them, which are interleaved on glossy pages. A must-have for anyone interested in Asian art, mythological creatures or tattoos.
