Description
Eberhard Zeidler's innovative ideas have had worldwide influence, particularly on the building of hospitals, shopping, cultural and exhibition centres and multi-purpose buildings. This monograph analyzes the architect's life work, starting with his period as a student at the newly opened Bauhaus in Weimar (1946) and his work as an assistant to Egon Eiermann in Karlsruhe. In 1951 Zeidler went to Canada. He has been responsible for over 2,000 buildings since then, and they are presented in later chapters. The book contains over 720 plans, drawings and photographs, some of them full page and double page spreads. It also covers his most recent designs: the media park in Cologne, major projects in London, Moscow and Toronto, the West Palm Beach opera house and a multifunctional theatre in North York. Zeidler's entire output is intepreted chronologically and placed in the context of contemporary architectural development. It concludes with an essay on the philosophy of architecture by the architect.
