Elke MittmannJean-Yves Barrier. Architect, Designer,Artist / Architecte, Designer, Artiste208 pp. with 220 illus., 242 x 297,5 mm, hard-cover, English / FrenchISBN 978-3-86905-022-5Euro 69.00, £ 59.90, US $ 78.00

After the first volume was published in 2009under the title Jean-Yves Barrier. Architect andUrbanist / Architecte et Urbaniste, which doc-umented 25 years of his architectural prac-tice, this second volume is dedicated to ar-chitectural and artistic projects since the mid-2000s. While the first volume focused on ar-chitectural and urbanistic projects, this sec-ond volume presents not only 25 new archi-tectural projects of Barrier, but also a com-pletely different facet of his work: the relation-ship between architecture and art. In this context, »folding« becomes a fundamentalconcept that can be applied from design ob-jects to art installations in public spaces andarchitecture.

This new volume also shows once again the astonishing variety of architectural typol-ogies that Barrier deals with in his current œuvre. Whether it concerns residential build-ings, collective housing, public facilities, ur-ban design or functional buildings (such assupermarkets, an employment office or anengineering structure), Barrier never adopts arepetitive or doctrinaire attitude, but developsnew solutions for each project, which can befound in his ideal »lexicon of constants«. Thisis particularly true for the permanent searchfor urban coherence for the most varied inter-ventions: in city centres, in derelict industrialzones or in diffuse peri-urban spaces. Con-temporary garden cities, condensed and com-pact assemblies, collages or the interweav-ing with what exists represent possibilities forBarrier to requalify and redevelop forgotten or abandoned urban situations with contem-porary architecture. This is accompanied bythe search to create urban signs and new networks in urban space, with the attempt to perpetuate the existing layers of the city.

But it is not only the city that serves himas an architectural projection screen, but al-so and in particular the manifold interplay between art, design and architecture, which is expressed in a specific method, an edifice of thoughts, which allows him to achieve acreative coherence on these various levels of scale and thus simultaneously connects different disciplines with each other.

Elke Mittmann is an art historian. She stud-ied at the Universities Paris-IV-Sorbonne andLeipzig and holds a doctorate. After workingfor many years at the Stiftung Bauhaus Des-sau, she has been director of the Maison del’architecture Centre – Val de Loire in Orléanssince 2011, and is currently teaching at theÉcole nationale supérieure d’architecture deStrasbourg.

Antonietta Iolanda LimaThe Architecture of Pica CiamarraAssociati – From Urban Fragments toEcological Systems356 pp. with 915 illus. including 305 in colour,240 x 300 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-020-1Euro 78.00, £ 68.00, US $ 89.00

Since 1970, based in an isolated building situat-ed on the peninsula of Posillipo, Pica CiamarraAssociati (www.pcaint.eu) has acted as a labora-tory of architectural and urban design which hasgradually incorporated new members and newenergies over the time: using a multidisciplinaryapproach, the roots of the architectural practicelie in the intensive theoretical and practical workbegun in the early 1960s by Massimo Pica Cia-marra. Since then the practice has been markedby a continuous relationship with Le Carré Bleu –Feuille internationale d’architecture and leadingmembers of the cultural milieu of Team 10: thishas led to constant attention to everything thatlies beyond form, to the relation ship with con-texts that also include non-spatial contexts, andto high levels of integration and dialectical discus-sion. According to Pica Ciamarra Associati, a de-sign transcends the approaches of a single sec-tor, providing simultaneous solutions to contradic-tory requirements, combining utopia and practi-cality. The poetics of the fragment: it mediatesbetween architecture and the urban dimension;some designs also have the aim of becoming ab-sorbed within a context as »informed fragments«.

This monograph is the result of an intensive period of work and consists of two interactingparts. It stems from research into the archive ofthe studio Pica Ciamarra and conversation withthe members of the architectural practice. Organ-ised diachronically, the book tells the long story,unfolding over a period of over fifty years of ateam of Neapolitan architects and designers, whohave maintained the lively spirit of the practicewhich is still geared towards the future. The textu-al and iconographic account tells a story and of-fers an interpretation that highlight the vibrant at-mosphere of the studio, based on a consistency ofthought and action, and fuelled by an interest inmany different forms of knowledge. The contex-tualisation of the events related to the studio iswide-ranging, coherent and connotative.

Antonietta Iolanda Lima, professor of history of architecture at the University of Palermo, hasalways tried, through theory, teaching and design,to disseminate the importance of history whichcan embracing innovation and tradition to anequal degree, forming a new architectural lan-guage. According to her view of architecture, his-tory and design are closely connected, a »singleentity« as is reflected by her career. Since the1980s, her academic work has gained increasingimportance, a way of avoiding narrow sectoralapproaches in the training of future architects, of-fering a holistic stance of the history of architec-ture and an architecture that contributes to shap-ing critical thought and a thriving cultural life.

Waltraud Engelbrecht (ed.)Erich Engelbrecht – Introspektive Bilder /Introspective ImagesWith contributions by Waltraud Engelbrecht,Gottfried Knapp and Renate Vogt. 144 pp. with 124 illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German /EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-014-0Euro 59.00, £ 49.90, US $ 69.90Enclosed is a DVD with a film by Helmut Kohn

Erich Engelbrecht (1928–2011) called his pictures»introspective«. He remarks on this: »The intro-spective image inspects the arena of the soul, thefield of operation of archetypes, which constitutethe fundamental pattern of our behaviour.« Weare indebted to C. G. Jung for providing especial-ly deep insights into the nature of archetypes. Ac-cording to him, they constitute, in their totality, thecollective human unconsciousness, and determineour actions. These archetypes become visible on-ly in symbolic images. For Werner Haftmann suchimages are the works of symbolist artists of alltimes.

The works of Erich Engelbrecht, whether graph-ics, oil pictures, tapestries, or wooden and steel fig-ures, appear planimetric and abstract. In his steelfigures, for instance, the third dimension exists on-ly in the thickness of the steel plates. This makeshis artworks akin to folk tales. In his book Daseuropäische Volksmärchen, Max Lüthi describesthe style of the folk tale as »planimetric« and »ab-stract«, with projecting all happenings on the levelof plot. When the sister cuts her little finger offand uses it to open the door to the glass castleto free her imprisoned brothers in the folk taleThe Seven Ravens, no blood flows and we hearno cry of pain.

Both – the folk tale and the »introspective im-age« – tell a story and use primal images in orderto do it. This mode of action – of creating a coher-ence of meaning through a narrative of archetypalimages such as forest, cavern, or sea that restsupon primal human experience – is described byC. G. Jung as an »archetypal programme«, a pri-mal behaviour pattern that all human beings fol-low, regardless of race, culture, or epoch.

With the introspective image, as with the folktale, the creative process must be intuitive andmeditative, an immersion in the unconscious. ErichEngelbrecht had no plan or idea for an artwork,merely an empty sheet of paper or canvas in frontof him; he made himself receptive, waited, and allowed himself to be guided by the images, aprocess that he experienced very much as an or-deal and even as a threat to his existence. He did,however, have a sense for when his process ofsearching was at an end, albeit without under-standing the meaning of a picture created in thisway. His wife Waltraud Engelbrecht would then tryto »read« these images and to derive a coherenceof meaning from correspondences of form andcolour. Renate Vogt

Gardens for the Senses – The SpanishGardens of Javier MariáteguiWith texts by Javier Mariátegui Valdés and pho-tographs by Javier Mariátegui Valdés, CasildaMariátegui and Mark Bentley. 188 pp. with 245 illus., 305 x 259 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-936681-98-7Euro 58.00, £ 42.90, US$ 64.00

It was not by chance nor by a trick of fate thatJavier Mariátegui dedicated himself to garden-ing. He grew up among gardens.

Both his grandmothers were gardening enthu-siasts, one of them, the Marchioness of CasaValdés, wrote the book Spanish Gardens, whichdescribes the history of Spanish gardening fromRoman times to the present day. This book con-tinues to be a reference for all lovers of this par-ticular field of history and art.

This enthusiasm was passed on to him by hisparents. From his earliest years he was makinghis own gardens, by reusing those plants dis-carded by his father.

Mariátegui studied landscape gardening anddesign at the Escuela de Paisajismo y JardinerìaCastillo de Batres in Madrid. Subsequently heworked in England as a gardener. Back in Spain,he established the Jardines de España nursery,which looks after and employs handicapped chil-dren, with whom he first started making gar-dens. For the past thirty years, he has creatednumerous gardens across Spain and in severalother European countries. He has also publishedmany articles on landscape-gardening topics inspecialized magazines and a book on one of hisgardens: El Jardín de los Tapices /The TapestryGarden. Among the present garden architects ofSpain Mariátegui plays an outstanding role. Eventhe Spanish TV has dedicated a monographicprogram to him and his gardens.

It would be difficult to summarize in a fewwords the essence of Mariátegui’s gardens, giv-en the wide variety of styles, their versatility andnumerous differences that perhaps becomes his»signature«. His style is not dogmatic, he lovesorder and disorder, straight lines and curved, thewild chaos of nature as well as strict geometri-cal patterns, varied and single species of plants,colour and absence of colour. Moreover he en-joys bringing elements that clash together untilthey harmonize.

Perhaps as a result of an intimate knowledgeof the magic of water in Andalusian Moorish gar-dens, Mariátegui uses water as an essential ele-ment in many of his gardens. He makes it »work«in all its forms; in pumps, in cascades, in con-stant gentle movement, or rocking in waves, indisperse drops or in silence like a mirror thatadds the magic of its reflection.

Konstantin Melnikov (1890–1974) is unquestionab-ly one of the outstanding architects of the 20thcentury – in spite of the fact that he fell silent ear-ly, leaving behind only limited work that was insuf-ficiently publicized, and restricted almost exclu-sively to Moscow, the city of his birth in which hespent nearly his entire life and which did not ap-preciate him. He was raised in humble circum-stances, but enjoyed an excellent education.Beginning in the mid-1920s, after the turmoil thatfollowed the war, revolution and civil war, his ca-reer soared at almost meteoric speed as he tookthe lead in the young Soviet architecture move-ment with completely autonomous, highly artisticbuildings that were free from dogmatism of anykind. Even more rapid than his rise to fame washis downfall: Treated with general hostility, he wasunable to defend himself against the accusationof formalism when Stalin put an end to architec-tural ventures and experiments around the mid-1930s. He was expelled from the architects’ asso-ciation and was banned from practicing as an ar-chitect for the remaining four decades of his life.

In the late 1920s, at the peak of his career, hehad the opportunity to build a house for himselfand his family in Moscow, in which he was thenable to live until the end of his life. This house, amemorable symbiosis of almost peasantlike sim-plicity and extreme radicalness, is one of the mostimpressive, surprising and probably most enig-matic works produced by 20th-century architec-ture. Its simplicity is only outward; in reality this isa highly complex work which links together theelements of architecture explicitly and inextricab-ly, which takes a clear and completely autono-mous stand and which, in a way that little elsehas done, raises the question as to the nature ofgenuinely architectonic thinking. In essayistic formthe book attempts to follow the paths laid out inthe architect’s work from the perspective of an architect.

Fritz Barth studied architecture in Stuttgart andZurich. He runs an architect’s practice in Fellbachnear Stuttgart, teaches at the TU Darmstadt andis the author of a series of books, including a stu-dy on the iconography of 16th-century Italian gar-dens (Die Villa Lante in Bagnaia, 2001), a mono-graph about the Bohemian Baroque master build-er Johann Santini-Aichel (Santini, 2004) and astudy of the fortifications of Francesco di GiorgioMartini (Martial Signifiers. Fortress Complexes byFrancesco di Giorgio Martini, 2011).

Frei Otto / Bodo Rasch. Finding Form –Towards an Architecture of the Mini-mal240 pp. with 540 illus. in b & w and colour, 215 x 240 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-930698-66-0Euro 49.00, £ 39.90, US $ 59.00

»Primeval architecture is an architecture of neces-sity. Nothing is there to excess, no matter wheth-er stone, clay, reeds or wood, animal skins orhair are used. It is minimal. It can be very beauti-ful even amidst poverty and is good in the ethicalsense.

Good architecture seems to be more importantthan beautiful architecture. Beautiful architectureis not necessarily good. Only buildings that are at the same time ethically good and aestheticallybeautiful are worth preserving.

We have too many buildings that have becomeuseless and yet we still need new buildings, frompole to pole, in the cold and in the heat.

Man’s present areas of settlement are the newecological system in which technology is indis-pensable, even in hot and cold areas. ...

Our age requires buildings that are lighter,more energy-saving, more mobile and moreadaptable, in brief more natural, without disre-garding the need for safety and security.

This logically leads to the further developmentof light constructions, to the building of tents,shells, awnings and air-supported membranes.It also leads to a new mobility and changeability.A new understanding of nature is forming underone aspect of high performance form (also called›classical form‹), which unites aesthetic and ethi-cal viewpoints.

Tomorrow’s architecture will again be minimalarchitecture, an architecture of the self-educationand self-optimization processes suggested byhuman beings.«

(Frei Otto and Bodo Rasch in their forewordof this book.)

In 1992 the Bavarian branch of the DeutscherWerkbund awarded its first prize to Frei Otto, un-doubtedly the most successful and many-sidedprotagonist of modern light construction, andwith it a request to nominate a meritorious per-son to whom the prize could be passed on, andto design a joint exhibition with that person. FreiOtto chose his pupil Bodo Rasch, who had real-ized Otto’s theories particularly in other cultures.

Otto died on 9 March 2015; he was to be pub-licly announced as the winner of the 2015 PritzkerPrize on 23 March, but his death meant the com-mittee announced his award on 10 March. Ottohimself had been told earlier that he had won the prize by the executive director of the PritzkerPrize, Martha Thorne. He was reported to havesaid: »I have never done anything to gain thisprize. Prize winning is not the goal of my life. I try to help poor people, but what shall I sayhere – I am very happy.«

In recent decades, Carlo Scarpa’s relevance hasbeen steadily on the rise. Strategies of adaptivereuse and adjustments to existing fabric are consis-tent with a growing agenda of sustainability and re-sourcefulness. At a time when architects have todevelop aesthetic systems following an integrativeapproach treating existing urban and built contextas a narrative to continue, Scarpa’s œuvre remainsa source of inspiration. Scarpa’s use of architecturallayering analysed and explained in this book couldserve as a contemporary strategy that is nonhierar-chical and free of stylistic idioms.

Buildings such as the Castelvecchio in Veronashow that architecture is capable of communicat-ing its own history, that it carries meaning whiledeveloping a contemporary dynamic of its own.Scarpa’s layered architecture makes time-relatedsedimentation of material and content readable. Itis especially at points of transition and joints thatlayering becomes an element that elucidates thetectonic and spatial qualities of the building.

In this book Anne-Catrin Schultz presents herresearch related to the phenomenon of layering inScarpa’s architecture. Layering describes the phys-ical composition of built layers defining space whileincluding the presence of cultural references andassociations.

Scarpa’s work is an embodiment of multidimen-sional layering and a focal point for architecturalmovements of this time that share a similar ap-proach. In most buildings, the principle of layeringmay be regarded as something that is part of thenature of construction. Functional conditions callfor separate planes, elements or »layers«, some ofwhich provide the structure while others take careof the protection from weather and climate. How-ever, architectural layering goes beyond the merefulfillment of technical requirements – the principleof layering may be used as formative method thatallows elements of different origins to be combinedinto a nonhierarchical whole. Layering is complexand creates references to our world at large.

The first part of the book examines Scarpa’s in-tellectual roots and puts them in perspective withrelevant examples of architecture theory, such asGottfried Semper’s theory of clothing. The secondpart displays an analysis of three projects, theCastelvecchio and the Banca Popolare in Veronaand the Querini Foundation in Venice.

Anne-Catrin Schultz studied architecture inStuttgart and Florence. Following postdoctoral re-search at the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy, she practiced for several years at TurnbullGriffin Haesloop and Skidmore Owings & Merrillin Francisco. She has taught at the University ofCalifornia in Berkeley, the California College of theArts and the San Francisco City College in SanFrancisco. In 2013, she joined the faculty at Went-worth Institute of Tech-nology to teach architec-ture history and theory.

Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP) is a leading in-ternational design practice whose work focuseson activating and regenerating urban sites andcity centers. Situated at the intersection of pub-lic realm, urban design and site specific art, thepractice has over 35 years of experience design-ing and implementing installations, gardens, civicplazas, parks, institutional landscapes, corporateheadquarters, master plans, and urban regenera-tion projects. MSP works with city leaders, plan-ners and builders at a strategic level so as to ad-vocate for the inclusion of the public landscapeas a means to achieve environmental, econom-ic and social sustainability. With offices in Lon-don, New York and Shanghai, the practice is en-gaged in projects and consultation around theglobe and has to date worked on projects in over20 countries and five continents.

MSP has continually been recognized for itscontribution to the urban landscapes of the worldand to the field of landscape architecture. Thefirm has received many international award reco-gnitions, including the American Society of Land-scape Architects Landmark and Honour Awards,the British Association of Landscape IndustriesAward in the Regeneration Category, the ChicagoAthenaeum Award for Best New Global Design,the Urban Land Institute Award for Excellenceand the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.

Martha Schwartz: »When we design, our big-gest objective is to create environments that peo-ple enjoy and come to love. We try to create en-vironments that people take pride in and are hap-py to adopt these places that they live and workin as part of their identity. If this happens, peoplewill strive to take care of it, maintain it and pre-serve it. People’s love of place is fundamental tosustainability. That is not to say we don’t work inthe most ecologically sound way. We work withengineers, water specialists, horticulturists, soilspecialists in order to do our best in capturingand recycling water, using planting that was indi-genous to the area and sourcing our materials lo-cally. But having people feel pride about wherethey live and feel they are living in a beautiful envi-ronment that they wish to protect and preserve isthe big win.«

With a foreword by Marc Treib, professor of architecture emeritus at the University of Califor-nia in Berkeley), and an introduction by MarthaSchwartz, this monograph is the first publicationto document 55 built projects and a selection ofmaster plans by this internationally acclaimedpractice.

Opus 16Fundación César Manrique, LanzaroteWith an introduction by Simón Marchán Fiz andphotographs by Pedro Martínez de Albornoz.60 pp. with 52 illus. in b & w and colour, 280 x300 mm, hard-cover, German / English / SpanishISBN 978-3-930698-16-5Euro 36.00, £ 24.00, US $ 44.50

Over the last decade the island of Lanzarotehas become one of the favourite tourism desti-nations in the Canary Islands. However, our inter-est is more one of artistic than of touristic discov-ery, and this would be virtually unthinkable with-out the work of an artist who fell in love with thiswonderful paradise. We refer to César Manrique(1919–1992), who was able to see and reveal tous the unique beauties arising out of the happymarriage of the four elements believed by theGreeks to form the whole of creation: air, earth,fire and water.

In fact, after returning to his island in 1968after a period spent in New York, Manrique de-dicated himself passionately to realizing his uto-pia, to renew Lanzarote out of his own sources.Among Manrique’s best known works on Lan-zarote are the Casa Museo del Campesino, theJameos del Agua, the Mirador del Río, the Cac-tus Garden and his own house in the Taro deTahíche.

Manrique’s house in Taro de Tahíche, whichnowadays houses the César Manrique Founda-tion, can be considered as a »work in progress«as it was built over a period of almost 25 yearsand was still not completed upon the artist’sdeath. Arising out of the five interconnected vol-canic bubbles of the underground storey, it hasbecome a metaphor for the amorous meeting ofman with Mother Earth, the latter being under-stood, to use Bruno Taut’s expression, as »a finehome for living«. The spaces on the upper floorcan be virtually mistaken for the white cubic build-ings dispersed throughout the island. But whenwe cross their thresholds, we have the uniquefeeling that here something was created whichis really new. In fact, Manrique – enemy in equalmeasure of the »pastiche« of regionalism andthe off-key International Style blind to differentia-tion – sifted the vernacular with certain modernfilters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van derRohe or Le Corbusier, and at the same time hegave it such a specific stamp that the final resultbecame indigenous and unmistakeable.

Simón Marchán Fiz is professor of aesthet-ics in Madrid. Like Marchán Fiz, Pedro Martínezde Albornoz lives in Madrid. The photographsshown in this book are the best photographicinterpretation of one of Manrique’s work up tonow.

Opus 23Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, Oak ParkWith an introduction by Elaine Harrington andphotographs by Jon Miller/Hedrich-Blessing. 56 pp. with 69 ill.,280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-930698-23-3Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

It was in his home in Oak Park that Frank LloydWright made his first contributions to the Modernmovement. In 1889 he designed the first part ofthe house, in 1895 he added to it for his wife, Catherine, and their family, and in 1898 for his architectural practice. The entire building was alearning laboratory of modern architecture. Whilenot a Prairie School house, it led to the develop-ment of the Prairie School. Wright’s constantchanges to this complex paralleled the evolutionof his early architectural work and career. There,with his young assistants, he rethought the plan,spaces, materials, proportions, and lines of Amer-ican residential architecture, creating a revolutionon the Prairie. His home and studio provided thearchitectural environment in which to experimentwith his ideas in three dimensions. The housefeatured contemporary art work, oriental tribalrugs, and Japanese decorative arts chosen byWright and his wife. The studio was decoratedwith classical plaster sculpture, Teco ceramicsand selections from Wright’s large collection ofJapanese prints. Wright completed the interiors,toned in nature’s hues, with furniture and built-in furnishings of his own design, harmonious tothe whole.

The colour photographs of Jon Miller of Hed-rich-Blessing show a glimpse into Wright’s firsthaven, where he challenged prevailing notionsabout the country’s architecture, and which hethen left, to continue as one of America’s mostsignificant architects. Included in the book is aportfolio of historic black and white photographsof the building, a number of them taken by Wright himself.

Elaine M. Holzschuh Harrington has been theCurator of the Glessner House (Opus 7: HenryHobson Richardson, J. J. Glessner House, Chi-cago) and the Curator of the Frank Lloyd WrightHome and Studio. She has written and lecturedextensively about both. Hedrich-Blessing, Chi-cago’s oldest and foremost architectural photog-raphy firm, was founded in 1929. From its begin-ning, the firm has been noted for portraying themost dramatic rendition of a building within thebounds of high architectural accuracy. The firmcreated a working atmosphere that encouragedthe firm’s photographers to perform at their best,an atmosphere that continued until 2017 whenthe firm finally closed its doors.

Opus 26Himeji CastleWith an introduction by Irmtraud Schaarschmidt-Richter and photographs by Mo Nishikawa. 52pp. with 38 ill., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, Ger-man/EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-026-2Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

Spread over a hill that climbs up from the plain,Himeji Castle with its white walls shimmering inthe sunlight like the feathers of a fantastic birdseems to be rising into the blue sky like a greatheron. This impression has given it the name»Castle of the White Heron«. The castle, whichhas nothing martial about it, on the contrary, itis extraordinarily elegant, is undoubtedly one ofJapan’s most impressive fortresses. It was builtbetween 1601 and 1609, when the period of warwas almost over, and was used primarily for ad-ministration and residence, with defence as asecondary role. Thus its aesthetic impact was as important when it was built as its actual pur-pose as a fortification.

The main building in the castle is the Tenshuor Tenshu-kaku in the northem part of the com-plex, a wooden structure about 46 m high. Itscomplicated intermediate roofs make it lookmore like a skyscraper than a tower.

Himeji Castle represents an architectural typethat probably does not occur in other areas ofthe world. Large parts of the building were classified as »Kokuho State Treasure« as early as 1951, and others as »Important Cultural Prop-erty«. The building was placed on the World Cultural Heritage list in 1993.

Art historian Irmtraud Schaarschmidt-Richterspecialized in classical and modern Japaneseart and architecture at an early stage, as isshown by numerous publications. Her book onthe Japanese garden has long been a standardwork. Most recently she was involved in publica-tions on architects Kazuo Shinohara and ToyoIto. Photographer Mo Nishikawa, a pupil of KenDomon, one of the most important photogra-phers of our century, sees his work as a spiritualand intellectual contemplation of art. His photo-graphs of the Katsura Palace, the Himeji Castleand the Ise Shrine are among the great master-pieces of contemporary photography.

»UNESCO has made the Völklinger Hütte a WorldCultural Heritage Monument. Thus an industrialplant of the late 19th century is placed alongsidethe Pyramids of Giza, Charlemagne’s cathedral inAachen and the Taj Mahal. Something that seemsto be a homogeneous series – the World CulturalHeritage Monuments – has acquired a new dimen-sion with the addition of the Völklingen coal andsteel conglomerate. In the field of monument pro-tection, memory has hitherto been equated with›preservation‹, but what preservation meant underthe conditions of decay of all human works wasscarcely discussed. ... Here the Völklinger Hütte,with its drastically abbreviated half-life period andthe rapid change of all conditions brings a newdimension. The thing protected is for once not anobject, but a process. It raises the question whatevents are under conditions of wear, and what isbeing remembered. ... The plant can stand as tech-nological evidence of the inventive spirit of the 19th-century period of rapid industrial expansion, for thedivision of labour and the jobs of a generation thatstill has members living in Völklingen, of a war ma-chine, or a landmark in the local Saar bend. ... Thepolitical story that should be considered above all is invisible. ... The kitschy statement by enthusiasticschool teachers that blast-furnace plants are ›ca-thedrals of work‹ makes sense only if cathedrals areseen also as documents of collective cooperation.... The spiritual surroundings of steel production arelimited to the polytechnic approach: the engineer is responsible for function, the owner wants his return and no-one asks how the steel is used. Itwould be naive to think one was critically disposedto the belligerent policy that led to two world wars.«(Lucius Burckhardt in Daidalos.)

Lucius Burckhardt, in his early years lecturer at the HfG Ulm and the ETH Zurich, from 1962 to 1972 editor-in-chief of the magazine werk, from1972 to 1997 professor at the GesamthochschuleKassel, from 1976 to 1983 chairman of the Deut-scher Werkbund, was one of the most noncon-formist thinkers of our time. After working as anarchitect Johann Peter Lüth headed the SaarlandState Office of Conservation from 1985 to 2002.His colleague at the time, Georg Skalecki, then responsible inventorying and building research, is now head of the Bremen State Office for Monu-ment Preservation and professor at the Universityof Bremen. Hans Meyer-Veden studied photog-raphy at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste inHamburg. From 1980 to 1985 he was professor of visual communication at the FachhochschuleDortmund; afterwards he moved to the Fachhoch-schule Kiel, where he taught photography until hisretirement in 1994.

Opus 65Le Corbusier, Unité d’habitation, MarseilleWith texts by Alban Janson and Carsten Krohnand photographs by Anja Grunwald. 80 pp. with80 illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German /EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-65-6Euro 39.00, £ 36.00, US $ 48.00

If there is one building by Le Corbusier that rep-resents a synthesis of his basic concepts it iscertainly the Unité d’habitation built in Marseille in 1946–52. This built manifesto does not simplyput forward a social model as a utopia, but alsothe unity of architecture and town planning. It isone of the most significant buildings there haseven been, but it also triggered a great deal ofcontroversy. The story of the response to it hasbeen recorded in order to investigate why thisextremely ambitious project in particular shouldhave caused such a conflict between intentionand effect.

The Unité d’habitation in Marseille is now verypopular with the people who live in it as a build-ing. Despite all the criticism, it obviously still of-fers functional advantages that make it easier forindividuals and the community to live together.The enormous sculptural force and the charac-teristic interplay of light and colour shown in thephotographs make the building into a »personali-ty« that can be identified with.

As well as this, the building also offers some-thing special in terms of concrete spatial experi-ence. In the age of a superficial »adventure soci-ety« it claims the intensity of an everyday experi-ence that is both casual and at the same timecomplex, embracing all the senses. This extendsfrom the reception in the imposing foyer to the»theatre« of figures on the roof terrace in thelight of the landscape, from the inverted urbanscenery of the promenade publique to twilightseclusion in the silent residential streets. And itincludes the flats themselves, which open upexpansively to draw in the sea and mountainmood. Le Corbusier used his architectural re-sources atmospherically and scenically to givethe Unité d’habitation a succinct coherence thatalso forms the basis for individual lives withinits rooms and spaces. Precise observation anddescription reveal the mechanisms of these ef-fects.

All three authors are qualified architects. Untilhis retirement Alban Janson was professor of thefundamentals of architecture at the KarlsruherInstitut für Technology, Carsten Krohn lives andworks as an author in Berlin, and Anja Grunwaldis professor of architectural photography and typography at the Hochschule Karlsruhe – Tech-nik und Wirtschaft.

Opus 80Oswald Mathias Ungers, Haus Belvedere-straße 60, Köln-MüngersdorfWith an essay by Wolfgang Pehnt and photo-graphs by Walter Ehmann, Bernd Grimm, DieterLeistner and Stefan Müller. 64 pp. with 70 illus.,280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German / EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-80-9Euro 36.00, £ 29.00, US $ 39.90

»A house is a representation of the idea of theworld, of life, of existence.« For the Cologne ar-chitect Oswald Mathias Ungers (1926–2007),owner of a famous collection of books on archi-tecture, who also repeatedly addressed the theo-retical aspects of building, the construction ofhis own house, in 1958/59, was more than a pri-vate adventure. For him it meant a chance to gain spatial experience and explore what waspossible. It was a laboratory, »a little universe«, »a piece of world«.

In the course of his life, Ungers built himselfand his family no less than three houses, two inthe Cologne suburb of Müngersdorf, one in theEifel highlands. Even the first house, to which thisrichly illustrated volume is dedicated, caused aninternational sensation; it was considered to bean important example of so-called Brutalism. Itshowed »everything I knew how to do at thetime«, Ungers wrote regarding the building. Hewanted a house that enveloped and sheltered,he wanted metamorphosis and transformation;architecture that was autonomous but at thesame time respected the genius loci. At the time,architects preferred to build their private homesas freestanding bungalows in the countryside.Ungers, on the other hand, settled in a placewhere there were traces of the Roman past andpurchased a plot of land adjacent to an alreadyexisting row of terraced houses.

Three decades later, Ungers expanded thecataract of forms of his first home by adding ageometrically strict cube, intended to house hislibrary. The shock aesthetics of the early work hadevolved into the rigorous abstractness of his latework. This building too – one of a kind, and in in-terplay with its predecessor – became a manifes-to. It corresponded to the idea of a house as asmall town and the town as a large house, anidea that has run through European architecturalhistory since Alberti. In spite of all their differ-ences, the two contrasting formats make com-mon cause. They show »a world full of contradic-tions, illusions and realities that reflects the entirespectrum of the image of architecture, from thefiction to the reality of the function«. Today thehouse and the library are the seat of the UAA, theUngers Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft, andopen to the public.

Wolfgang Pehnt often visited Ungers. The authorof an authoritative book about the architecture ofExpressionism, he profited by Ungers’ collection ofmaterial back in the years when Ungers was still in-terested in Expressionism. Thus he is familiar withthe house in all its details. As portrayed by him, thehistory of the house gives access to the impressiveœuvre of a great German architect.

Opus 81Carlo Scarpa, Museo di Castelvecchio,VeronaWith texts by Alba Di Lieto, Paola Marini and Va-leria Carullo, and photographs by Richard Bryant.52 pp. with 43 illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover,Italian / EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-81-6Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

During the 1960s Italy’s museum sector witnesseda fertile period of renewal. A generation of archi-tects, working in partnership with the directors ofmuseums, set about transforming into exhibitionspaces a number of ancient monumental complex-es located in the historic centres of some of themost important Italian cities. Among these was thebrilliant and solitary Venetian architect Carlo Scarpawho revitalised the discipline of museography bysagaciously combining it with restoration. His lucidintervention at Verona’s Museo di Castelvecchio isemblematic of this approach: the medieval castle,the museum of ancient art, and modern architec-ture all harmoniously coexisting in a monument lo-cated at the heart of a city designated a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site.

The far-sighted choice of Scarpa was owed tothe then director of the museum, Licisco Maga-gnato, who tenaciously argued the case for the ap-pointment of an architect specialising in this field towork on the city’s principal museum of ancient art.

In his work on the Castelvecchio, carried out ata significant point in his career, Scarpa attained aremarkable balance between various aesthetic ele-ments that is particularly evident in the sculpturegallery, where the renovations harmonise with thepower of the 14th-century Veronese works exhibit-ed in this section of the museum. One of the moststriking details – extraordinarily rich in historical and symbolic significance – is the location of theequestrian statue of Cangrande I della Scala, anexceptional medieval sculpture of the famous Lordof Verona. For the presentation of this work – asymbol of the city and its museum – the architectconceived a backdrop of great poetry, drawing thevisitor’s attention to its historical stratifications andsimultaneously creating an exemplary essay inmodern architecture.

The book is introduced with a text by Alba DiLieto, the architect of Verona’s art museums, ascholar of Scarpa’s drawings, and the author ofmonographs on his work. She describes the ar-chitect’s renovation and locates it in the context of Italy’s architectural panorama.

The essay is followed by a brief history of thecastle by Paola Marini, who was the director ofVerona’s art museums and monuments for 22years. In 2015 she has taken on a new role as di-rector of the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.

Valeria Carullo, curator of the The Robert ElwallPhotographs Collection in the RIBA British Archi-tectural Library, writes about her experience assist-ing Bryant when he photographed the castle.

Richard Bryant is one of the best-known archi-tectural photographers, working all over the world.He and Hélène Binet are the only photographers tohave been awarded a RIBA Honorary Fellowshipof the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Opus 84Parc de sculptures Erich Engelbrecht,Château des FougisWith essays by Gottfried Knapp and João J. de Abreu Vares and photographs by PhilippeHervouet. 60 pp. with 46 illus., 280 x 300 mm,hard-cover, French / EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-84-7Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

In their sculptural works, artists have always broken out of the workshop or studio and intoopen-air spaces. After all, the place wheresculptures are best able to show their three-di-mensional quality is in an open space not en-closed by walls and ceiling, in which all flows of power and movement can have free rein.However, because public spaces offer only verylimited possibilities for sculpture development,sculpture parks have been developed almosteverywhere in the world where artists can workwithout restrictive conditions.

During his search for a place in France wherehe could present his large sculptures, Erich En-gelbrecht discovered in 2000 the open, mead-ow-like land, with the château tucked into apiece of forest behind it. This open space, pic-turesquely framed by groups of trees, was pre-cisely what he had imagined. And the fact that a château was waiting for its new owner at theend of this tract of land made this discovery astroke of luck rarely experienced by anyone ingeneral, and almost never by artists in particular.

His monumental sculptures that dominate thelandscape have given Erich Engelbrecht a placein the history of modern sculpture. His methodof drawing images plastically in the space, andof using these drawings transformed into solidbodies to occupy whole landscapes, is unparal-leled. The enigma balanced between represen-tationality and the abstract, the multiplicity ofmeaning, which invites freely poetic titles, is es-sential to the unique charm of Erich Engelbrecht’svisual work. In the park of Château des Fougis,29 of these artworks, at once plainly revealingand mystifying, communicate with each other insuch a relaxed way that visitors are prompted tothink and to enjoy. One strolls through a gardenof poetic artworks, through a park of beautifulriddles and silent secrets. There has been noth-ing comparable to this in Europe since the gar-dens of Italian Mannerism.

Gottfried Knapp works as an editor in the feuil-leton of the Süddeutsche Zeitung in the fields of art,architecture and film. Of his numerous works onartistic and architectural topics, six have been pub-lished by Edition Axel Menges. João J. de AbreuVares, a graduated architect, advised Erich Engel-brecht on the installation of the sculpture park and,together with his wife Sarah Engelbrecht, he as-sists the artist’s widow in the care of her husband’sinheritance. After studying art history and photog-raphy Phillipe Hervouet was commissioned to par-ticipate in the care of the cultural heritage of theAin department. He also actively contributes tothe artistic inventory of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpesregion. He teaches photography at the UniversitéJean Monnet in Saint-Étienne.

Opus 85Friedrich Kullrich / SSP AG, Fritz-Henßler-Berufskolleg, DortmundWith an essay by Alexandra Apfelbaum and pho-tographs by Jörg Hempel. 52 pp. with 60 illus.,280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German / EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-85-4Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

Since its foundation in 1977, the Bochum-based architectural office SSP AG, with locations in Bochum and Karlsruhe, has been realizing alarge number of real-estate and building projectsthroughout Germany. With an interdisciplinary plan-ning team of architects, engineers, and real-estateeconomists, and other experts, new and innovativesolutions are found for each project in cooperativecollaboration. The resulting concepts are charac-terized by successful identification, high efficiencyand good design.

In 2013, after a Europe-wide tendering proce-dure, SSP AG was commissioned with the over-all planning of renovation and construction of ex-tensions and new buildings for the Fritz-Henßler-Berufskolleg in Dortmund. Built in 1908 by themunicipal building councillor Friedrich Kullrich,the listed building complex of a former arts-and-crafts and craftsmen school in the Dortmund citycentre was in great need of renovation. The taskwas to satisfy a fixed spatial programme takinginto account the building fabric worthy of pre-servation, both in the existing building stock andthrough extensions and new buildings. The ex-tension by two building blocks in a strict func-tional design language and with clearly structuredfaçades allows for an exciting and yet harmo-nious combination of old and new. Through asensitive »carry on building« of the existing build-ing stock, a successful new interpretation of theexisting fabric was created.

For the »extremely successful handling« of the historically significant stock and the »high-quali-ty« restoration in accordance with the regulationsfor listed buildings, the architects were awardedthe North Rhine-Westphalia School-ConstructionPrize 2018 by the Ministry for Schools and Edu-cation and the Chamber of Architects of NorthRhine-Westphalia, as well as the German DesignAward 2019, the bestarchitects Award 2020 andthe Otto Borst Prize for Urban Renewal 2020.

Alexandra Apfelbaum has worked as a free-lance art and architecture historian since 2009.Since 2018, she has held the deputy professor-ship for the history and theory of architectureand the city at the Fachhochschule Dortmund –University of Applied Sciences and Arts. In addi-tion to research in architectural theory and archi-tectural history, her main focus is on the interfacesbetween architecture and art in the 20th century,with a focus on North Rhine-Westphalia and thepostwar period. Jörg Hempel is a free-lance archi-tectural photographer, living in Aachen. Since 2007he teaches architectural photography at the Bo-chum University of Applied Sciences, since 2015in addition at the FH Aachen University of AppliedSciences, and since 2019 at the TH Köln (Univer-sity of Applied Sciences).

The present volume brings together four smalleressayistic texts written over a period of two dec-ades and whose different themes deal with ratherremote areas of architecture. Steine zu Wörternexamines the peculiar, singular appearance of architecture in the literary work of Hans HennyJahnn, a major German author of the 20th cen-tury. Vom segensreichen Wirken der Fehler, a gro-tesque counter-draft to the widespread view thatthe development of style is due to nothing morethan noble striving, attempts to trace the influ-ences of mistakes and misunderstandings, calam-ities whose effects on architecture, although con-cealed, are hardly to be underestimated. A differ-ent facet of the concealed is treated in the studyof a remote field of the Baroque, Die verschwie-gene venustas, dealing with the Pietist architec-ture of the Franckesche Stiftungen in Halle which,despite its simplicity of appearance, reveals an unexpected manifestation of the most elaborateBaroque rhetoric. Finally, Architektur als Zeitreisedeals with the building of the Chamber of Com-merce in Mantua, erected in 1913 by Aldo Andre-ani, whose somewhat outré combination of histor-ical set pieces, when carefully considered, revealsa surprisingly precise programme and concept, ahistorical-critical eclecticism at the crossroads ofthe emerging modernism. A lecture attached inthe appendix takes a closer look at the »architec-tonic«, whose determination as an inherent prin-ciple of architecture the four texts tentatively oper-ate from the periphery of the field to grasp.

Fritz Barth, born in 1958, studied architectureat the University of Stuttgart and the ETH in Zu-rich. He runs an architectural office in Fellbachand Berlin, holds the honorary professorship forbuilding design at the Bauhaus University in Wei-mar and is the author of a number of books deal-ing with architecture and its environment, includ-ing a study on the iconography of 16th centuryItalian gardens (Die Villa Lante in Bagnaia, EditionAxel Menges 2001), a monograph on JohannBlasius Santini-Aichel, an architect associatedwith Bohemian Radical Baroque (Santini. Ein Bau-meister des Barock in Böhmen, 2004), a study of early fortress construction in Italy (Zeichen des Wehrhaften. Festungsbauten von Francesco di Giorgio Martini /Martial Signifiers. Fortress Com-plexes by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, EditionAxel Menges 2011) as well as a detailed studyof the Melnikov House in Moscow, a major work of early 20th century architecture (Konstantin Mel-nikov und sein Haus /Konstantin Melnikov and hisHouse, Edition Axel Menges 2015).

When architects design a house for themselves,the often tense relationship between clients andbuilders is usually absent. That is why in manysuch buildings the architect-designer’s artisticstance and political position, preferences and an-tipathies, temperament and character are morepronounced than usual. Moreover the architec-tural theories, debates and trends of an epochalso leave their traces in them in a particular way.We encounter both attachment to tradition andcommitment to the avant-garde, willingness toexperiment and pragmatism, distinctive artistryand views shaped by the fact that a building isalso a product of engineering. And last but notleast, expressed in their houses are the personallife circumstances of the people concerned, orthe messages the houses are meant to conveyabove and beyond their actual purpose: as a»manifesto«, as the »self-portrait« of the archi-tect, but also as an advertising tool or as a signof connection to specific milieus or positions.

Building for oneself has a special connota-tion under the conditions of migration and exile.Among the most prominent examples are the private homes of Rudolph Schindler in WestHollywood (1921/1922), Richard Neutra in LosAngeles (1932), Walter Gropius in Lincoln, Mas-sachusetts (1937/1938), Ernst May near Nairobi(1937/1938), Bruno Taut in Istanbul (1937/1938),Ernö Goldfinger in London (1937–1939), MarcelBreuer in New Canaan, Connecticut (1947/1948and 1951), Josep Lluís Sert in Lattingtown, NewYork (1947–1950) and Max Cetto in Mexico City(1948/1949).

What expression could voluntary migration orforced change of location find in these buildings?To what extent do the architects’ other buildingsdiffer from such »homes of one’s own« in a for-eign country, to use an expression borrowed andmodified from Virginia Woolf?

The book is a collection of contributions by in-ternationally renowned authors and examines notonly the buildings themselves but also other as-pects of the topic that have hitherto received littleattention.

Stefan KoppelkammThe Imaginary Orient – Exotic Buildings of the 18th and 19th Centuries in Europe192 pp. with 280 illus., 242 x 297,5 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-936681-77-2Euro 68.00, £ 59.90, US $ 78.00

In the 18th century the idea of the landscape gar-den, which had originated in England, spread allover Europe. The geometry of the Baroque parkwas abandoned in favour of a »natural« design.At the same time the garden became the »land ofillusion«: Chinese pagodas, Egyptian tombs andTurkish mosques, along with Gothic stables andGreek and Roman temples, formed a miniatureworld in which distance mingled with the past.

The keen interest in a fairy-tale China, whichwas manifested not only in the gardens but al-so in the chinoiseries of the Rococo, abated inthe 19th century. The increasing expansion of theEuropean colonial powers was reflected in newexotic fashions. While in England it was primarilythe conquest of the Indian subcontinent that cap-tured the imagination, for France the occupationof Algiers triggered an Orient-inspired fashionthat spread from Paris to encompass the entireContinent and found its expression in paintings,novels, operas and buildings. This »Orient«, whichcould not be clearly defined geographically, wascharacterised by Islamic culture: It extendedaround the Mediterranean Sea from Constan-tinople to Granada. There, it was the Alhambrathat fascinated writers and architects.

The Islamic styles seemed especially appropri-ate for »buildings of a secular and cheerful char-acter«. In contrast to ancient Egyptian buildingforms, which, being severe and monumental,were preferably used for cemetery buildings, pris-ons or libraries, they promised earthly sensuouspleasures. The promise of happiness associatedwith an Orient staged by architectural means wasintended to guarantee the commercial success ofcoffeehouses and music halls, amusement parksand steam baths.

But even extravagant summer residences andmiddle-class villas were often built in faux-Orien-tal styles: In Brighton, the Prince Regent George(George IV after 1820) built himself an Indian pal-ace; in Bad Cannstatt near Stuttgart, a »moorish«refuge was erected for Württemberg’s King Wil-helm I; and the French town of Tourcoing wasthe site of the Palais du Congo, a bombastic vil-la in the Indian Moghul style that belonged to awealthy perfume and soap manufacturer.

Stefan Koppelkamm studied at the Gesamt-hochschule in Kassel, and after a longer stay inthe USA he now lives in Berlin where he taughtteaches communication design at the Kunst-hochschule Berlin-Weißensee. Since the publi-cation of his book Gewächshäuser und Winter-gärten im 19. Jahrhundert (Stuttgart, 1981), he hasrepeatedly engaged with historic and current as-pects of architecture.

If laziness is the mother of all inventions, then thecar is its masterpiece. The earliest means of lo-comotion was walking, followed by riding on hor-ses or camels; finally, with the invention of thewheel, came the ability to use carriages, whichnot only made locomotion far more comfortablebut also brought the transportation of goods to awhole new level. However, it then took millenniafor carriages to go from being propelled by hor-ses or oxen to engines, initially steam-driven,then propelled by internal combustion enginesand early experiments with electric propulsion.

Cars were initially the result of pure craftsman-ship, and as passenger cars were based on theconcept of the carriage. The assembly line hadnot entirely abandoned the carriage look, but al-ready showed a typical automobile profile: equal-sized wheels, engine bonnet, passenger com-partment. The predominant body colour of carsmanufactured between 1910 and 1930 was black,while all makes of car had an almost uniform ap-pearance. As manufacturers moved away frommetal-panelled wooden frames to an all-steel design, they hesitantly ventured to adopt newforms. Improved undercarriages and higher en-gine performance were initially limited by air re-sistance, which above a speed of 60 kilometresper hour is the strongest of all driving resistances.This led to the development of new body shapesthat offer less resistance to the airstream.

Engineers still determined the form of the car,sometimes even achieving formal elegance. Itwas only rarely that members of other profes-sions, such as the architects Le Corbusier orWalter Gropius, were commissioned to designa car. Between the two World Wars North Ameri-ca had the world’s largest fleet of cars; this alsomeant that their design became an increasinglyimportant sales factor. Professsional automobiledesign was established. As they continued to de-velop technically, cars in the 1950s moved furtherand further away from the physically logical formof a moving body. One of the last – and mostoutstanding – examples of a form with optimumresistance to the airstream is the Citroën ID/DSof 1955. Others, indeed almost all, opted forthe pure symbolism of speed and power, whosemost important ingredients were tail fins andchrome. Today, with a global annual productionof close to 100 million passenger cars, automo-tive style has come to be represented by a widerange of almost every imaginable form.

Architect Hans-Ulrich von Mende has workedwith partners in an independent practice since1990. For 50 years his writings and drawings on automotive design have appeared in books,trade journals (mot, autobild) and the daily press(Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zei-tung).

The fact that the entire history of culture andtechnology could represent a single, continuousexpulsion of mankind from the original, paradisalstate of nature was already described visionari-ly in the Bible and predicted with all its positiveand negative consequences. Everyone knowsthe story of Adam and Eve, of their »Fall« andtheir »Expulsion from Paradise«. Even as a non-Christian it is worth taking a look at the fairytale-like-mythic text of the Old Testament, althoughthe picture and the process completely contra-dict our current scientific findings.

One would almost be inclined to assume thatthe idea of a primeval paradise is innate in allhuman beings and that every human being withhis becoming, his birth, his childhood and hisadulthood experiences something like a Gene-sis. He is born innocent and helpless, wakesup, looks around, believes to be free, gets toknow his time, his surroundings, his life. The final expulsion of every human being from life is his death. He is sentenced to death.

Despite all religious promises, man has alwaysbeen aware of the fact that he has only this onelife and that he ultimately cannot count on thehope that beyond this life there is something thatcould be called »salvation«, a happy return tothe Garden of Eden. As the book shows withnumerous, primarily European examples, the his-tory of man is therefore full of efforts to regainhere and now the lost paradise, no matter howprecarious the result may be.

In search of the lost paradises: a somewhatunusual history of man in his relationship to na-ture, followed by a description of the current state of landscape planning and garden design.In the concluding part of the book, the authordevelops new, strangely surreal and poetic con-cepts of the treatment of nature, inspired by literature, film, theatre and tourism.

Hans Dieter Schaal, born in Ulm in 1943, isan architect, landscape architect, stage designerand exhibition designer.

The condition of »fake« and »real« in architec-ture is rarely publicly discussed nor has it en-countered broad journalistic or scholarly atten-tion. This book explores the realm of truth, au-thenticity and fakery in architecture, providing a timely collection of analytical essays and pro-jects. Photographers, writers and architectsshare their understanding and speculationsabout a broad range of spaces and concepts –all searching for common ground between realand imagined, function and story.

The authors challenge our perception of »au-thenticity« through the examination of built andsimulated environments, architectural fiction,theatric illusions and mannerist trickery. They examine the notion that the principle of Sulli-van’s »form follows function« contains a paradoxcaused by the ambiguity and complexity of ar-chitectural expression. Buildings are perceivedthrough an individual’s personal experienceswhile also being interpreted along broader cul-tural values. The works shown reveal that underscrutiny, any built environment harbors both, re-veals moments of truth, deception and ambigui-ty – all of it partially in the eye of the beholder.

The diverse contributions shed light on unex-pected identities in architecture inviting criticalthought about our built environment – analogand digital.

The goal of this publication goes beyond un-masking deception in architecture, it aims atunfolding time-lines and revealing the layerednature of people and places. The images andessays reveal our contemporary condition andlet collective and individual narratives unfold, arange of truths in themselves. Expanding fromthe discussion about truthful materiality and tec-tonics, this book provides an understanding ofreal, authentic, and fake in urbanism and archi-tecture.

Museum architecture has blossomed over the past few decades. Art museums lead the way in terms of new buildings by superstar archi-tects such as Frank Gehry, Herzog and de Meu-ron, Jean Nouvel, and Renzo Piano, among manymore. Those facilities have received public andprofessional recognition through media attentionand design awards. But other museum typologiesexist, one such being for buildings that showcasemilitary history and artifacts. All too often, onethinks of these as unsophisticated in their designand amateurish or antiquated in their exhibitions.Nowadays, nothing can be further from the truth.This volume examines more than thirty of them in-ternationally that were constructed over the pasttwo decades and more. The museums are fea-tured in individual entries and lavish color photog-raphy. Some were designed by internationallyrenowned architects such as Norman Foster, Da-niel Libeskind, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, andRobert A. M. Stern, but many more are the prod-ucts of creative, accomplished designers. Beyondthe architecture of these museums, exhibition andinstallation designs by noted specialist firms suchas Ralph Appelbaum Associates, Kossmann.de-jong, and Gallagher & Associates, among others,have raised the bar in terms of immersive experi-ences for their visitors.

New military museums presented within thebook are examined within the context of the his-tory of war memorials and military museums, the latter being a less well researched subject.In the end, military museums relate back to an-tique sculptural commemorations of victoriouscampaigns and martial leaders, collections anddisplays of war trophies, and the search to finduseful architectural memorials, the latter especial-ly so after the World Wars of the twentieth cen-tury.
