Description and Table of Contents
Description
Meinhard von Gerkan and Volkwin Marg are considered to be among the most acclaimed architects worldwide. Their projects and completed works have attracted international attention. This book focuses on the models produced over the years and therefore offers an insight into the creative process of the architects. Of primary importance is the quality of the designs and buildings which is already easily discernible in the models. What is also perceptible is the need to maintain and further develop the high standards which already distinguished the early projects. The architects seek no short-lived trends or superfluous effects: on the contrary, what they consider of utmost importance is their sense of social responsibility. Given the large number of the buildings and competition designs (from among 256 award-winning works, 98 have received a First Prize) not everything can be included but the essential components of their work and that of their staff is examined: namely, the attention to structural details, the material-oriented design and a simplicity based on usefulness.
