There will be few architects in Europe who have
addressed the villa as a type as consistently and
with such formal awareness as the Stuttgart ar-
chitect Alexander Brenner. Brenner has run his
own practice in his home city of Stuttgart since
1990, and within a single decade created a series
of villas responding individually to the urban situ-
ation and the owners’ needs; they are incompa-
rable in their formal language and also in their in-
terior coherence.
Brenner’s villas can be seen and experienced
as three-dimensional works of art, lucid sculp-
tures to live in, thoroughly modelled down to the
last detail. The geometrical sculptural effect is
achieved outside by the horizontals and verticals
of their architectural structure and bands of win-
dows, used to powerful graphic effect, by the
thrusting canopy roofs, the cubically effective
white walls pushing into the rooms individually,
and by their large expanses of glazed façades.
They also stand up energetically to the organical-
ly designed gardens and other outdoor spaces.
But what is completely unique is the design logic
Brenner deploys to make the cubism of the ex-
ternal forms impact on the interior, applying it to
the everyday utility objects in the living rooms,
kitchen and bathroom. Amazingly, he makes it
look completely natural that not only all the
cupboards in these houses are adapted to the
stereometric order of the spatial continuum’s
subtle rhythms, but so are bulky fittings like
washbasins, bathtubs, cookers and dishwashers.
So if there as ever been a Stuttgart style in the
history of more recent architecture, as is so
often asserted, then that style has achieved a
new and functionally highly refined liveliness in
Brenner’s houses.
Gottfried Knapp worked as a film critic for
ten years before starting as art, architecture and
film editor for the arts page of the Süddeutsche
Zeitung. His numerous publications on art-his-
torical and architectural themes include mono-
graphs on individual buildings and catalogues
about painters, sculptors, draughtsmen and pho-
tographic artists. Knapp has won several journal-
ism prizes in the fields of architecture and monu-
ment preservation.

Rob Krier, Cité Judiciaire, Luxembourg

With the »Cité Judiciaire« Rob Krier, perhaps the
only urban-planning artist among Germany’s ar-
chitects, has, for the first time in 30 years, com-
pleted a major urban project in his home country
of Luxembourg. With regard to its authorship,
this is a true »family project«. With the significant
contribution of his brother Léon to the master-
plan for the site, which is situated opposite his
parental home, Krier has, in his own words, ful-
filled a »youthful dream«. Krier’s son-in-law and
office partner, Christoph Kohl was involved in
the execution, as was his distant relation and
Luxembourgian contact architect, Jean Herr.
The concept reaches far beyond Luxembourg’s
borders in its significance, as Krier’s crew has
formulated something of a manifesto for classical
European urban architecture. Rather than a fur-
ther high-rise for this European city, an entire
quarter has been created with public roads, lanes
and squares in which the various judicial depart-
ments are distributed across eight buildings. The
plot structure, small-sized units and traditional
plasterwork façades with their three-dimensional
sculpted details all enhance the quarter’s vitality,
as does the masterful treatment of spatial divi-
sions.
This new approach is decisive in solving an
ever more complex construction problem in con-
temporary urban planning: the integration of ma-
jor administration complexes into the existing
make-up of the city. In Luxembourg, the Kriers
have succeeded in providing model evidence
that, even today, this task can be achieved by
means of top-quality architecture, without having
to forfeit anything in terms of the modernity of
equipment, the parsimony of economical execu-
tion, the reduction of energy consumption, or in
the basic demands of public proximity.
With this publication, Rob Krier has created a
novelty in architectural literature. It is the first vol-
ume in sketchbook format of a series which doc-
ument the design process from the first hand-
drawn sketches, right through to realisation. Here,
the entire spectrum of the creative process and
its irrepressible joy for variation are revealed.
Rob Krier is an architect and influential theorist
for architecture and urban planning. Born and
raised in Luxembourg, he moved to Vienna after
having studied in Munich and worked for Os-
wald Mathias Ungers and Frei Otto. Today he re-
sides in Berlin and Liguria. After teaching posts
in Stuttgart and Lausanne, he was a professor
of architecture at Vienna Technical University
from 1976 to 1998 and, in 1986, held a guest pro-
fessorship at Yale University in New Haven, Mass.
Besides his work as an architect, Rob Krier cre-
ates sculptures and statuary arts primarily for
public spaces.

The architect is at all times also an artist. How
otherwise would he be able to tame the three-
dimensionality of space and subdue the urges
of physics and structural mechanics with the cre-
ations of his fantasy? This creativity is however
mostly restricted purely to its own field.
In this respect, Rob Krier, born in 1938 in Gre-
venmacher, Luxembourg, is indeed the proverbial
exception that proves the rule. Besides his actual
profession, which demands his daily attention,
Krier has for years also made a vocation of his
love of art, one which he nurtures parallel to his
work. Fine art could stand in dialogue with archi-
tecture and it is Krier’s ambition to have icono-
graphic themes brought into the latter, so that
they might speak equally to both the occupants
of a building and to bystanders and move them
to thoughtful reflection.
In the works of Mies van der Rohe it is not rare
that one finds naturalistic figures from, for exam-
ple, Aristide Maillol or Wilhelm Lehmbruck – as an
anthropomorphic contrast to the strict geometry
of the architecture, notes Rob Krier in the com-
ments on his journal.
If one is already aware of the realisation of his
masterful architectural accomplishments through
projects such as Potsdam-Kirchsteigfeld (1991
to 1997), De Resident in The Hague (1993–2001),
Noorderhof in Amsterdam (1994–99), Veste
Brandevoort near Helmond (since 1995), Citadel
Broekpolder near Beverwijk (2000–04), or the
Cité Judiciaire in Luxembourg (1992–2008) – be
assured, Krier’s artistic skills are in no way inferior
to his architectural work.
Quite the contrary: as a sculptor and illustra-
tor, too, Rob Krier brings together extraordinarily
musical qualities and incorporates them into his
work: his bronze The Jumper was erected in
Montpellier in 2004, the Cowering Woman ten
years earlier on Berlin’s Friedrichstraße, the 4
metre-high duo Bosch i Alsina and Papasseit on
Moll de la Fusta in Barcelona in 1992.

Fritz Leonhardt would have been 100 years old
in 2009. The Südwestdeutsches Archiv für Archi-
tektur und Ingenieurbau (saai) at the University of
Karlsruhe is presenting the first full retrospective
of this famous structural engineer’s work, which
holds his extensive estate.
Leonhardt studied at the Technische Hoch-
schule in Stuttgart and then travelled in the USA.
He made his professional début with the German
autobahn, for which he designed the Rodenkir-
chen suspension bridge in 1938–41. Leonhardt
supported Herrmann Giesler’s plans for the
»Capital of the Movement« with a domed struc-
ture for the new main station in Munich, a project
that was never realized. In the post-war period
he worked mainly on reinforced and prestressed
concrete structures. He combined pioneering
structural innovations with a high standard of
creative design. The television tower in Stuttgart,
which he designed in 1953/54, is a good exam-
ple of this. It has had countless successors all
over the world. Leonhardt made important tech-
nical innovations in bridge-building in particular.
He and his colleagues worked on the Düsseldorf
family of bridges from the 1950s to the 1970s, di-
agonal cable bridges with an aesthetic shaping
the urban landscape, and the Leonhardt, Andrä
und Partner practice founded by him created
wide-span bridges all over the world based on
these models. Leonhardt was involved as a
structural engineer on the first post-war high-rise
buildings in Germany. He worked with the archi-
tects concerned on the cable-net structures for
the German Pavilion at the 1967 Montreal World’s
Fair, and for the roofs of the 1972 Munich Olym-
pic buildings. The interplay between science and
practice was crucial to Leonhardt. His books
Spannbeton für die Praxis (1955; Prestressed
concrete. Design and construction, 1964) and
Vorlesungen über Massivbau (6 vols., 1973–79)
are still seen as standard works.
The editors of the book are on the academic
staff of the Südwestdeutsches Archiv für Archi-
tektur und Ingenieurbau. Joachim Kleinmanns is
an architecture historian and has taught monu-
ment conservation at Karlsruhe University since
1994. Christiane Weber is an architect and art
historian.

Oneplanetarchitecture. The architecture
of RAU

Oneplanetarchitecture is the design philosophy
Thomas Rau, the founder and director of RAU,
developed over the recent years. It implies a
broad approach towards the building task taking
into account the material and immaterial needs
of users, the place, the society, and the planet
earth. Therefore the process as such is a central
part in the work of RAU which always results in a
unique concept which is imbedded into the build-
ing’s social and urban context.
»The work of RAU seems to pursue a variety
of directions. RAU considers that the appearance
of their buildings has less to do with style than
with methodology. The firm’s buildings have to be
different because each is designed according to
particular circumstances, such as the history of
the place, the needs of the user, the local con-
text, and the social value. Rau and his team
search for what they call the ›DNA of the build-
ing‹ that is the underlying factors that seem to
require or predetermine its form, for the design
process as they see it ideally should not be an
imposition of preconceived ideas, but a meta-
morphosis through multiple versions until the
most appropriate combination of qualities is dis-
covered. ... Thomas Rau stresses that it is not so
much individual energy saving measures that are
important as their integration in a total design. An
exemplary client was the Triodos Bank, for which
RAU built both the Dutch headquarters and more
recently the headquarters for the International
branch. In a way typical of RAU, it combines
concerns for the site, for accommodating and
expressing the nature of the firm, and for setting
a serious green agenda as an example of the
bank’s green attitudes visibly put into practice.«
(Peter Blundell Jones)
The complexity of this approach to architecture
is explored through a series of essays from differ-
ent points of view, complemented by a glossary
of measures for sustainable building integrated in
RAU’s designs. This is followed by a documenta-
tion of over forty projects designed by the firm.
Peter Blundell Jones is professor of architec-
ture at the University of Sheffield and has already
published monographs on Hugo Häring (Edition

In recent decades, Carlo Scarpa’s relevance has
been steadily on the rise. At a time when archi-
tects have to use existing city and building struc-
tures as a point of departure for their work, his
œuvre remains a source of inspiration. Buildings
such as the Castelvecchio in Verona show us that
architecture is capable of communicating its own
history, has meaning, and develops a contempo-
rary dynamic of its own. Scarpa’s layered archi-
tecture makes visible the time-related sedimenta-
tion of material and meanings. It is especially at
points of transition and interface that layering be-
comes a narrative element that elucidates the
tectonic qualities of the building. Overlaying in-
cludes leaving a record of how an object came
into being – by means of the sediments of its his-
tory or through the intervention of the architect.
In this book Anne-Catrin Schultz presents her
research about the phenomenon of layering in
Carlo Scarpa’s architecture. Layering describes
the physical composition of layers defining space
as well as the parallel presence of cultural refer-
rals and formal associations imbedded in the
physical layers.
Scarpa’s work is an embodiment of multidi-
mensional layering and a focal point for architec-
tural movements of his time that have stratifica-
tion as their theme. In most buildings, the prin-
ciple of layering may be regarded as something
that is part of the nature of building. Functional
conditions call for planes, elements, or »layers«
to provide the supporting structure, and others
to protect from rain, cold or the heat of the sun.
However, architectonic layering goes beyond
merely fulfilling technical requirements – the prin-
ciple of layering may be used as a formative
method that allows elements of different origins
to be combined into a nonhierarchical whole.
Layering exists in a realm of complexity and cre-
ates references to the world at large.
The first part of the book examines Scarpa’s
intellectual roots and puts them in perspective
with former theories and their interpretation of
architecture as layered, for example Gottfried
Semper’s theory of clothing. The second part
displays an analysis of three projects, the Cas-
telvecchio and the Banca Popolare in Verona
and the Querini Foundation in Venice.
Anne-Catrin Schultz studied architecture in
Stuttgart and Florence, and earned a Ph. D. in
architecture theory at the University of Stuttgart.
Following post-doctoral research at the MIT, she
relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and
worked for several years with Turnbull Griffin
Haesloop and Skidmore Owings & Merrill. She
has taught as a lecturer at the University of Cali-
fornia in Berkeley and is currently teaching at
the California College of the Arts and at the San
Francisco City College.

Klaus R. Uhlig, born in 1932 in Altenburg near
Leipzig, is at first and foremost a painter of peo-
ple. His upright figures, with a strong vertical em-
phasis and often depicted in groups, represent
the emerging XXL generation. With his »Structu-
rels«, Uhlig created a painting style that combines
classical realistic with modern abstract painting.
Linking and overlapping numerous individual pic-
tures to form a composite creates configurations
that can be interpreted in many ways. Gil E. Stein
shows other aspects of his output in this publica-
tion. This includes works such as Das letzte Blatt
der Welt or 9-11, which was actually painted in
2001, and the group of pictures called »Arborel«.
The most striking feature of Uhlig’s pictures is
the positive impact they make. One contributing
factor here is that a clear working philosophy lies
behind their creation. Uhlig’s work is intended to
show »that our life and our social associations
are wonderful because the things that connect
us are wonderful and mysterious«. He uses very
many graphic and painting techniques to achieve
this, including decalomania. The colour range of
his work is defined by the Bauhaus colour theory.
Uhlig’s colorism and structurelism emerged on
the basis of a classical training in art and archi-
tecture, moving through the stages of stonema-
son, Dipl.-Ing., Master of Arts, government build-
ing officer and Dr.-Ing. His professors in Weimar
included Otto Herbig, who was close to Die
Brücke, in Berlin the architect Hans Scharoun
and the sculptor Erich F. Reuter, and at Harvard
University Le Corbusier when present at semi-
nars. Here Uhlig also met Walter Gropius and
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
After teaching at the Hochschule für Bilden-
de Künste in Hamburg, Uhlig worked as a town
planner in various German cities. He devised
zoning maps for Göttingen, Heidelberg and
finally for Cologne, where he worked as Stadt-
baudirektor for many years. Uhlig lives in Co-
logne as a free-lance artist.
Solo exhibitions have been devoted to his
work in Europe and China, in cities including
Berlin, Bologna, Brussels, Dresden, Hangshou,
Leipzig, Cologne, Paris and Weimar. His work is
to be found in state museum, public buildings
and in institutional and private collections.

Modern Architecture in Berlin
With a foreword by Wolfgang Schäche. 280 pp.

Although Berlin’s history encompasses more
than eight hundred years and its beginnings
reach back as far as the 12th century, its pre-
sent-day urban image is essentially character-
ized by structures and building measures from
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Four
»modern« development phases, whose respec-
tive qualities were vastly unalike, played a deter-
mining role in this image: during the second half
of the 19th century, against the backdrop of in-
dustrialization, Berlin’s rise from a comprehen-
sible Prussian capital and residence to an ex-
panding metropolis of the German Empire; the
1920 consolidation of the city with the surround-
ing 93 townships, rural communities and pro-
perties to form »Greater Berlin«; following the
destruction of World War II, working »back to
back« politically, territorially, and regarding the
look of Berlin’s divided, urban structure until
1990; and from the reunification to the present
day, the ongoing structural and spatial connec-
tions as well as architectural refinements re-
quired for Berlin’s role as capital of the new
Federal Republic.
The contents of this architectural guide vivid-
ly stand out against the backdrop of Berlin’s re-
cent history – a course of events as multifaceted
as it was, in part, excessive, up until today. This
publication deliberately focuses on the city’s last
100 years when, generation by generation, Ber-
lin daringly and almost obsessively rediscovered
itself architecturally. The selected examples not
only convey a visually impressive and represen-
tative longitudinal progression, but also in which
form the most provocative of social movements,
changes and breaks presented themselves in
the architecture of the city.
With texts and images, the book presents
466 architectural works built from 1907 to the
present day. The author’s choices support the
greater intention to present what can now be
deemed contemporary, typical, and exemplary
about every period of Berlin’s diverse, irregular,
and amazingly rich architectural history. That
the examples offered here blatantly declare
themselves products of the »modern age« and
»Neues Bauen« permits them to be understood
as a »manifesto in images« which consolidates
to a 20th-century architectural collage, whose
quality and wide range grant it an unquestion-
able uniqueness.
Rolf Rave is an architect practising in Berlin
together with his wife Roosje. He comes from a
family of architects and art historians; his father,
Paul Ortwin Rave, director of the Berlin National-
galerie until 1950 and director of the Berlin Kunst-
bibliothek from 1950 to 1961, was the editor of

Coop Himmelb(l)au, BMW Welt, München

The architects in the Viennese Coop Himmel-
b(l)au team have felt committed to the credo of
constructing cities and buildings that float like
clouds ever since the practice was founded in
1968, though it did take a while before gently
curving, »floating« buildings became a reality. It
was not until new, computer-aided design and
building methods and the use of innovative build-
ing materials came along recently that it became
possible to realize even unthinkable architectural
hybrids so light that they actually do seem to
float.
So the new Musée des Confluences is cur-
rently under construction in Lyon, a cloud that
has been in the planning phase for some years.
And a cloud building like this also does exist in
reality in Munich in the form of the new BMW
Welt, conceived by Coop Himmelb(l)au and re-
cently opened. This new building completes the
spectacular trio of museum buildings, the Mer-
cedes-Benz and the PorscheMuseum in Stutt-
gart, by UNStudio and Delugan Meissl Asso-
ciated Architects respectively.
A series of excellent interior and exterior pho-
tographs provide a record of this demonstration
project by BMW. The urban-sculptural and inter-
nal spatial qualities of the new BMW Welt are
also analysed thoroughly, and dealt with in de-
tail in the contexts of Coop Himmelb(l)au’s older
and more recent work. The question is also ad-
dressed of the extent to which the structural
and material shape of the building actually cor-
responds with an image of something light
enough to float. The presentation is rounded
off by a digression into the world of »branding«,
which has learned how to use spectacular archi-
tecture more and more directly as a publicity
factor, and to convey an image, or as an arte-
fact.
Frank R. Werner was professor of history and
theory of architecture at the Staatliche Akade-
mie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart from 1990
to 1994, since 1994 he has been director of the
Institut für Architekturgeschichte und Architektur-
theorie at the Bergische Universität in Wupper-
tal. He studied painting, architecture and archi-
tectural history in Mainz, Hanover and Stuttgart.

Intent on realizing her late husband’s vision, Do-
rothy de Rothschild first offered to provide funding
for a new building housing the Supreme Court of
Israel in the 1960s. In 1983 the offer was seriously
considered and accepted.
Renowned architects from Israel and from all
over the world entered into a two-stage compe-
tition in 1986. Ada Karmi-Melamede and Ram
Karmi, siblings their own architecture practices,
were asked to compete as a team. Their contri-
bution stood out clearly against the other entries.
Instead of proposing a formal and monumental
scheme, the Karmis came up with a coherent
site-specific building which roots itself into the
land, continues the stone language of Jerusalem,
and relates to its unique vibrant light.
Pure geometrical volumes are arranged to form
a balanced composition and complex whole. A
careful equilibrium is created between the gravity
of local stone-masonry walls and the immaterial
play of light and shadow in the voids and volumes
of the structure. The Supreme Court acts as part
of a larger civic urban ensemble and forms a
gateway to Government Hill offering a pedestrian
walkway to the Knesset.
While referred to as a single building, in real-
ity the Supreme Court building is an ensemble
applying urban principles to the interior, thus pro-
ducing public spaces throughout. Half architec-
ture, half landscape architecture, the building is
deeply anchored in its site and reaches out fur-
ther than its own walls. Four main functions are
manifested in four distinct geometric volumes or-
ganized by two cardinal axes. These axes sepa-
rate the four main program elements: the library,
the judges’ chambers, the courtrooms and the
parking area. The allocation of the various vol-
umes within the building allows for a sequence of
in-between spaces which are used for circulation,
for the penetration of natural light and for the tran-
sition between the public and private domains.
Paul Goldberger stated in The New York Times
in 1995 that »the sharpness of the Mediterranean
architectural tradition and the dignity of law are
here married with remarkable grace«.

Dahlem has developed in two different ways
since the early years of the 20th century. An im-
portant scientific centre emerged on the site of
this former royal territory south-west of Berlin,
alongside a suburban villa colony. Elite research
institutes were established in Dahlem, with the in-
tention of creating a »German Oxford«, including
the first institutes for the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesell-
schaft, founded in 1911. Then Dahlem was cho-
sen as the location for the Freie Universität Ber-
lin after the Second World War.
The Max-Planck-Gesellschaft commissioned
a new building in these surroundings in order to
provide the Institute for the History of Science,
dating from 1994, with accommodation appropri-
ate to its needs. The building was erected in
2004/05 to a competition design by the Stuttgart
architects Marion Dietrich-Schake, Hans-Jürgen
Dietrich and Thomas Tafel (who left the team after
drawing up the planning application).
The buildings adjacent to the plot, which is
bordered by streets on three sides, date mainly
from the 1930s. Alongside the institutional build-
ings detached homes determine the local charac-
ter. The Max-Planck-Institut reflects the dimen-
sions and structure of its surroundings. Its height
relates to the two-storey homes; the building
masses were structured as eight connected,
pavilion-like sections, which means that, despite
its size, the institute is reticent in its impact on the
urban space.
The symmetrical complex is built around a spa-
cious courtyard with old chestnut trees. The library
is the key element of the building, and so was
arranged around all four sides of the inner court-
yard. Extensively glazed internal and external
walls afford a wide range of views into the library
rooms. This ensures a constant presence for the
institute’s most important set of working tools,
and at the same time makes it accessible over
very short distances from various parts of the
building.

When the stadium for a »Winter Workers Olym-
piad« – one of the most beautiful complexes in
Europe, as the daily press put it – was opened in
1931 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of
the Republic of Austria on the Prater site in
Vienna, Otto Ernst Schweizer, the architect, was
suddenly catapulted into the ranks of internatio-
nally acclaimed architects.
The stadium, which can seat 60,000, was built
as an amphitheatre on the model of its ancient
predecessors, in particular the Colosseum in
Rome, which Schweizer had studied intensively;
the Viennese stadium seen as a reinterpretation
of the enormous Roman structure on the basis
of the constancy of things that were valid, which
was one of the basic premises of his architecture.
Otto Ernst Schweizer, born in 1890, and thus
of the same generation as Le Corbusier, Hans
Scharoun, Erich Mendelsohn and Ludwig Mies
van der Rohe, had attracted attention even as a
young architect with some outstanding competi-
tion entries, and was acclaimed for his planeta-
rium on the periphery of the old town in Nurem-
berg and for the stands and the two cafés of the
stadium complex there. He had left municipal ser-
vice as an Oberbaurat to dedicate himself to plan-
ning the Milchhof in Nuremberg and also the sta-
dium in Vienna. For thirty years he worked as one
of the great teachers in the architecture faculty
of the Technische Hochschule in Karlsruhe. He
built – after a long break forced upon him by
National Socialist culture policy – the II. Kollegien-
gebäude for Freiburg University. This was his last
building, and once again Schweizer’s approach to
form and function was concentrated in it, almost
as the quintessence of a rich creative life.
And what remains of the stadium, this most
beautiful complex in Europe, as has been said?
The landscape around it has been wrecked and
allowed to fray into randomness and Schweizer’s
reflecting lake in front of the arena has been filled
in. The arena itself has been enlarged by almost
double its appropriate cubature and its height in-
creased, so generally it has changed to such an
extent that the original is unrecognizable; hence
this book.
Immo Boyken is professor of building history
and architectural theory in Konstanz. He is partic-
ularly interested in late 19th- and 20th-century ar-
chitecture. He was highly involved in the mono-
graph on Egon Eiermann, has written work in-
cluding the monograph on Otto Ernst Schweizer,
and most recent on Heinz Tesar’s Donau City
church in Vienna (Opus 42), Egon Eiermann’s
German Embassy building in Washington (Opus
54), Otto Ernst Schweizer’s Milchhof in Nurem-
berg (Opus 59) and the German Pavilions at the

Fritz Barth
Francesco di Giorgio Martini’s Fortress
Complexes

Francesco di Giorgio Martini’s fortress complexes,
created at the end of the Quattrocento, continue
to look experimental and highly speculative half a
millenium later by their semiotic character. They
represent an extreme of European architectural
history, occupying a position where architecture
and sculpture cannot be sharply distinguished any
longer. The alien-looking creations represented in
this book have their origins in a particular historic
situation: the emergence of firearms in the 14th
century and their spread in the 15th century had
shifted the balance of warfare in favour of the at-
tacking side, against which the defensive structure
had not yet found a remedy.
Enter Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439 to
1502) at this point, a native of Siena and one of
the Quattrocento’s highly versatile artists. He
worked mainly in Federico da Montefeltro’s Ur-
bino, and left behind a body of work that includ-
ed painting – the three famous prospects of ideal
cities in Berlin, Baltimore and Urbino are attrib-
uted to him –, sculpture – primarily his imposing
reliefs –, and architecture – here he was definite-
ly the outstanding figure between Alberti and
Bramante. His achievements as an engineer are
equally impressive, and his elaborate designs for
machines strongly influenced those of Leonardo
da Vinci. He was a true Renaissance uomo uni-
versale, though, despite of his voluminous and in-
fluential theoretical work, less in the sense of a
humanist homme de lettres than as an all-round
artist.
Francesco’s sacred and secular structures
are classicist and austere in nature, yet his for-
tress structures look as if, moving beyond all
functional concerns, he is exploiting the newness
of the task, the lack of any tried and tested tech-
nical solutions and the removal of all typological
boundaries to give his architectonic fantasies free
rein, resulting in an apotheosis of the new, the
unfamiliar and the alien.
This book is an attempt to understand the
strangely grandiose semiotic character of these
structures. In doing so, it poses the question of
what strategies can be used when seeking a
shape for buildings for which there is no prece-
dent.
Fritz Barth studied architecture in Stuttgart.
He was written a monograph about the Villa
Lante, a garden from the 16th century (Die Villa
Lante in Bagnaia, Edition Axel Menges, 2001),
and another one about Johann Santini Aichel, a
Bohemian late-Baroque architect (Santini, 2004).
He runs an architecture firm in Fellbach near
Stuttgart, and also occasionally works as a pho-
tographer.

Dream Architecture

As building materials and technologies advance,
architects are creating new kinds of urban environ-
ments. Among the innovations showcased in this
book that are contributing to new architectural
forms are parametric modeling enabled by com-
puter-aided technology, environmentally friendly
building skins, and HOPSCAs – a hybrid building
type – that can house hotels, offices, parking,
shopping, a convention center, and apartments
under one roof. The »dream« buildings in this book
reflect a changing architectural and cultural envi-
ronment, and the processes that turn these con-
cepts from vision to reality will open a new chapter
in architectural history.
Many of the architects represented here are ad-
dressing themes of developments in structural and
material technologies that will allow infinite possi-
bilities in form. Within the new urban landscape of
greater complexity, architects must either find ap-
propriate »new textures« or construct new rules.
One imaginative process demonstrated here is
the merging of nature and architecture – some-
times through the use of natural forms, and at oth-
er times through materials and levels of energy
consumption. A related new process, bionics – the
application of biological principles to the design of
architectural systems – has been used to stream-
line buildings and simulate nature.
Yet another process at work today reflects a
continuity with Modernism in architecture in which
simple forms as well as traditional materials and
construction methods cannot disguise the ele-
gance of their conceptual rigor. This choice leads
to two contrasting ways to adapt: to »exceed« or
to »retreat«. Most of the featured projects in this
book embody the method of »exceeding«. With
this approach, architects use height and context
to create new urban spectacles. The contrasting
strategy is to »retreat« by creating introverted pro-
jects that interject a built form of silence and tran-
quility into the noise and chaos of the city.
We also include examples of comprehensive
projects that attempt to reply to the urban ques-
tion and suggest a future era of »the monumental
building as city«. These immense projects can
cover several city blocks in which architects strive
to find levels of balance between city and street.
By examining the thought processes behind
these bold and innovative designs we can formu-
late some essential questions: how does technolo-
gy bridge the boundaries between different coun-
tries and cultures? Will our cities come to resem-
ble those in science fiction movies? Will the notion
of »form follows environment« be the natural suc-
cessor to »form follows function«? Although we
can’t answer these questions at present, we hope
that merely asking them might provide insights
that will shape our views and spur creativity.

Urban Fiction – Strolling through Ideal
Cities from Antiquity to the Present Day

Dissatisfied with the world we live in, we have
been longing since time immemorial for two op-
posing topoi: the peaceful garden – a carefree
paradise – and the New City – a harmonious
community.
Thomas More described this New City: it is
Utopia, the no-place, or Eutopia, the fortunate
place, and it is located on an island. But long
before More philosophers, saints, artists, and
travelers described the ideal city. And after him
hundreds of architects, writers, reformers, and
dreamers sought to find Utopia and not only de-
scribed but also depicted the fortunate cities –
which were often terrible as well – and occasion-
ally tried to turn them into a reality. Take Palma-
nova, Freudenstadt, Guise, Brasilia, Lingang.
Yet these cities, too, then as now, have turned
out to be imperfect, deeply rooted in their own
period.
For Günther Feuerstein, all these cities and
towns, though only fictitious, have long since
been built, and he strolls through them together
with the architects, planners, writers, and philo-
sophers, just as Thomas More, Antonio Filarete,
William Morris, and many others once led us
through their cities.
Though the routes through various periods
and continents are arbitrary, the tour of 350 cities,
many of them made visible in over 500 illustra-
tions, and overflights of 800 additional dream
cities result in a kind of lexicon of the ideal city,
which admittedly does not claim to be complete.
Günther Feuerstein, who was a professor at
the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Linz and also
a lecturer at the Akademie der bildenden Künste
and at the Technische Universität in Vienna until
his retirement, must be considered the catalyst
in the Viennese post-war architectural scene, as
almost all architectural avant-garde groups of
the town have come from his circle. As an author,
Feuerstein addresses areas where art history and
sociology intersect with architecture. Edition Axel
Menges has published Androgynos – The Male-
Female in Art and Architecture and Biomorphic
Architecture – Human and Animal Forms in Archi-
tecture. Feuerstein is one of the earliest critics of
functionalism and pleads for an »expanded archi-
tecture«.

Rob Krier is a unique voice in today’s architectur-
al discourse through his commitment to develop-
ing a relevant and pragmatic theory of architecture
based on his own experience and observations of
architectural practice and opposed to the easy,
abstract theorising so common in contemporary
architectural writing.
Together with his brother Leon, he has perfect-
ed a form of presentation in which the potency
of his thinking finds its perfect counterpoint in
detailed drawings and sketches which argue his
case visually through the power of example. Fol-
lowing the success of his widely acclaimend Ur-
ban Space, a work which looked at the problems
of our cities from a historical, theoretical and prac-
tical standpoint, Krier now applies his particular,
highly influential mode of didactic criticism to con-
temporary architecture in continuing search for
fundamental architectural truths.
Architectural Composition is both a theoretical
and visual analysis which clearly illustrates the
creative process which informs Krier’s vision and
praxis. The culmination of a lifetime’s thought and
experience by one of Europe’s most important
architectural theorists, it is without doubt a ma-
jor achievement and is a standard work of refer-
ence for both students and practising architects.
The book, published for the first time in 1988 by
Academy Editions in London, has been support-
ed by funds from the Fond zur Förderung der
wissenschaftlichen Forschung der Republik Ös-
terreich, and it was carried out at Krier’s former
Institut für Gestaltungslehre at the Technische
Universität in Vienna.
Rob Krier is an architect and influential theorist
for architecture and urban planning. Born and
raised in Luxembourg, he moved to Vienna after
having studied in Munich and worked for Oswald
Mathias Ungers and Frei Otto. After teaching
posts in Stuttgart and Lausanne, he was a profes-
sor at the Technische Universität in Vienna from
1976 to 1998 and, in 1986, held a guest profes-
sorship at Yale University in New Haven, Mass.
Krier has developed urban-design concepts for
Stuttgart, Vienna, Berlin, Amiens, Montpellier,
Leeds, Gothenburg, Lodz, Amsterdam, Den Haag
and many other cities. Projects with which he was
first able to translate his vision of a spatial con-
cept, such as Rauchstrasse in Berlin, Breitenfur-
terstrasse in Vienna or Ritterstrasse with Schinkel-
platz in Berlin, repeatedly found their place in in-
ternational publications.

The challenges facing the 21st century are stag-
gering: rapidly increasing population, mounting so-
cial instability due to global imbalances of wealth
and welfare, resource scarcity and resulting con-
flicts related to their exploitation and distribution,
and certainly the ongoing distress of the environ-
ment as a whole. Such severe conditions, includ-
ing climate change, continue to become greater in
number, complexity, and clarity, even though most
of them had already been introduced as areas of
concern in the 1970s and 1980s.
Part I of the book describes potential strategies
that will play an essential role in curbing carbon
emissions, reducing – or replacing – fossil fuel us-
age. To better understand the current global ener-
gy industry, the book is unique in showing energy
consumption data across the globe in comparable
units, and it explains how fossil fuels could be re-
placed by renewable energy resources.
Part II explains how the necessary significant re-
ductions in energy consumption can be achieved
by alternative means at reasonable cost for power
generation to be maintained. A great number of
projects are described in the book as case studies
that fulfill the variety of international energy codes.
Part III addresses the technological possibilities
for energy savings and resource-sensitive solu-
tions related to buildings. Here, the potential of
building-integrated solar systems, wind-power
generation, rain-water harvesting, and the use of
geothermal energy, as well as their implementation
in the architecture are presented in detail.
On the one hand, the book presents the back-
ground for a broader understanding of the medi-
um-range and long-range changes in our energy
landscape, and on the other it provides the basis
for avenues required to enable us to design strate-
gies based on local conditions and individual geo-
graphical locations.
Over the past 20 years, Klaus Daniels and
the engineers of his engineering consultancy HL
Technik have published four volumes of seminal
work related to this subject, and their work is con-
tinuously being updated. In this series, the new
book is an attempt to illustrate how modern archi-
tecture needs to be adaptive to energy conditions
and how design and technology can be blended
successfully.
Klaus Daniels has devoted four decades to
advanced engineering solutions as a consulting
engineer. From 1991 to 2006 he taught at the
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zu-
rich. In 2006, the Technische Universität in
Munich celebrated his work with an honorary
doctorate in engineering. Ralph Hammann is a
professor of design and sustainable building sys-
tems in the department of architecture of the

Spanish museum architecture has experienced a
marked upturn since the 1990s, helping even small
towns off the tourist beaten track to acquire extra-
ordinary museum buildings. This is expressed
most visibly without a shadow of a doubt in Frank
O. Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. But
there are not just the international stars who have
contributed to this success. Spanish architects in
particular have designed unique museums that
have changed the look of whole towns. One exam-
ple is the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Cas-
tilla y León in León in Castille, built by the Madrid
architects Mansilla + Tuñon. Rafael Moneo, who
recently completed the annexe for the Museo del
Prado in Madrid is still the undisputed leading fig-
ure in Spanish architecture, but in the meantime
architects like Mansilla + Tuñon, who trained under
Moneo, are attracting attention internationally as
well as in Spain, and so are young talents who
have just left architecture school and are success-
fully designing museums.
Spanish architects use a wide variety of formal
languages. And yet there are some characteristics
that apply to them all: they have never been inter-
ested in the Postmodernism games; many of them
value reinterpreting regional building traditions in a
modern way; they are also sensitive to special fea-
tures of the existing topography. Kenneth Framp-
ton said in this context that Spanish architecture
essentially runs counter to the globalization ten-
dencies that are increasingly reducing architectural
form to a comfortable aesthetic product.
The present book, which is also suitable as a
museum guide, shows that this tendency is partic-
ularly conspicuous in the new museums. It con-
firms the world-class nature of Spanish architec-
ture, recorded from Rafael Moneo’s early Museo
Nacional de Arte Romano in Mérida to Herzog &
de Meuron’s new CaixaForum art gallery in Ma-
drid.
Klaus Englert studied philosophy and German.
He was academic adviser to the Zollverein devel-
opment company in Essen. He has worked for
several years as free-lance culture correspondent
and architecture critic for the Süddeutsche Zeitung,
the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and the Frankfurter All-
gemeine Zeitung. Roland Halbe, who took most
of the photographs presented in this book, is one
of the most sought-after architectural photogra-
phers in the world, and nearly all prestigious archi-
tects in Spain are working with him. In 1995 he co-
founded artur Architekturbilder Agentur GmbH in
Hamburg.

The »other Italy«, that is the rural Italy, far from
the bustle of the cities. It is the Italy of the
Apennines, its natural scenery, its remote vil-
lages, churches and religious communities, its
farmers, charcoal burners, shepherds and fisher-
men – even if these old professions are now
dwindling away.
The author has travelled hundreds of kilome-
tres through this rural Italy on foot, and travelled
thousands of kilometres through it by car. Al-
though he was acting in a professional capacity
as a geologist, his interests went beyond this
wonderful country’s geology to embrace every-
thing it had to offer. In the year 1959, he em-
barked on ten years working in Liguria (north of
Genoa) and twenty years in Calabria, on the toe
of the Italian »boot«, on the flank of the Aspro-
monte facing the Ionic Sea. Further visits to both
areas up to the present day have contributed to
his fifty-year relationship with Italy, and a body
of Italian experiences which was simply begging
to be set down with accompanying pictures.
Eight stories tell of the land and the people, of
the wild landscape of Calabria and its mafia, of
rural festivals, Christmas customs, Italian food,
abandoned farms – and of »Nonno«, a grand-fa-
ther. A wealth of photographs, mainly in colour,
join with the stories in encouraging the reader to
forsake bathing holidays and art tourism and take
a trip to a near and yet distant land.
Until his retirement, Hillert Ibbeken was profes-
sor of geology at the Freie Universität Berlin. He
has been involved in architecture, landscape and
macro-photography throughout his life. His book
Karl Friedrich Schinkel – Das architektonische

Photographs of a huge building site, taken by
night, show a bewildering world of machines,
boards, cables and scaffolding, seemingly in total
chaos and with mud and puddles everywhere.
The viewer's gaze enters dim underworlds that
look like a modern equivalent of Piranesi’s Car-
ceri.
Behind clearly structured, transparent façades
we can see office workers, politicians, hotel guests
and laboratory staff. We can see what they are
doing and how they interact with one another.
Both everyday work and private business are on
public display. The figures’ various social roles are
revealed by their body language, clothing and at-
tributes. In contrast to the kind of voyeuristic view
through a window we see in Alfred Hitchcock's fa-
mous film Rear Window (1954), the glass façade
freely reveals what the classic perforated façade
hides.
Like the propaganda images turned out by to-
talitarian systems, the vastness of advertising
spaces turns our usual sense of proportions on its
head. Monumentally large, usually female human
figures dwarf houses and people. They look down
on the city's inhabitants from above. No passer-
by can evade their gaze or their attractions.
Taken together, the photographs in this book
represent a visual commentary on our present-
day lifestyle. All the pictures were taken in the
centre of Berlin – but the same scenes can be
seen all over the world. The buildings are just as
interchangeable as the monumental images of
sex and consumerism.
Stefan Koppelkamm’s photographs are ac-
companied by selected monologues from Roland
Schimmelpfennig’s drama Push Up 1–3, which
give the »ideal inhabitants« of this world a voice.
These are people who fully subscribe to the im-
ages of success and beauty taken from adverts
and from the media.
Since the publication of his book Gewächshäu-
ser und Wintergärten im 19. Jahrhundert (Stuttgart,
1981), Koppelkamm has repeatedly engaged with
historic and actual aspects of architecture, cities
and landscapes. Just as his last book, Ortszeit –
Local Time (Edition Axel Menges, 2005) could be
seen as a search for a collective memory stored
within architecture, Screening is a treatise on
spaces and buildings that have no connection
with their architectonic or social context. After
studying film at the Otto-Falckenberg-Schule in
Munich, Roland Schimmelpfennig went to work
at the Münchner Kammerspiele, followed by the
Schaubühne in Berlin, the Burgtheater in Vienna
and the Deutsches Theater in Berlin.

In the second half of 2007, the baton of the EU
Council Presidency was passed to Portugal. The
country decided to hold the majority of the planned
meetings, conferences and summits centralised at
a location in Lisbon. The chosen venue was the
Sala Tejo of the Pavilhão Atlântico, which was
converted to host the meetings on the future of
Europe, culminating in the Treaty of Lisbon. The
architects commissioned for this project, Baixa,
Atelier de Arquitectura, successfully gave the ven-
ue – as well as the event – an impressive identity,
marked by Portuguese culture and contemporary
architecture. This book pays tribute to this ephem-
eral piece of architecture with a comprehensive
collection of sketches, drawings and photos. In the
accompanying and introductory texts, the project is
viewed through the eyes of two well-known archi-
tecture critics as well as the Head of Mission of
the Portuguese Presidency.
Jaime van Zeller Leitão graduated in law from
the Catholic University of Lisbon in 1982 and has
been a member of the diplomatic staff at the For-
eign Ministry since 1984. He was Head of Mission
of the Portuguese EU Presidency in 2007 and
holds the title of Commendatore of the Italian Or-
der of Merit. Following his graduation in architec-
ture from the Fine Arts School of Lisbon in 1977,
Manuel Graça Dias now lives and works in Lisbon,
where in 1990 he set up the studio Contemporâ-
nea together with Egas José Vieira. He is guest
professor at the University of Porto’s faculty of ar-
chitecture and at the department of architecture at
the Autonomous University of Lisbon. He has writ-
ten a wide range of articles, reviews and presenta-
tions on the subject of architecture and was editor
of JA (Jornal Arquitectos), the journal of the Portu-

Braun products have been shown more frequent-
ly at exhibitions than those of any other compara-
ble company. Some people find that they reflect
basic human values such as authenticity and in-
tegrity. For others, they are the very incarnation
of German perfectionism. Braun is not merely a
trademark; it stands for an all encompassing con-
cept. For the last five decades, this concept has
spawned innovative products with an unprece-
dented regularity that begs to be explained – es-
pecially as the era spanned by the history of
Braun design is not exactly one characterized by
continuity. Instead, the second half of the 20th
century witnessed a dramatic change in living
conditions. Prosperity and greater ease entered
our daily lives, but also widespread disorientation
and alienation. It is to the credit of those who
set the Braun design project in motion that they
were able to counteract this feeling of alienation –
which manifested itself to them not least in poor-
ly designed objects of daily use – with a vision of
design reform. There had already been attempts
made along these lines. What was new was that
a commercial enterprise spearheaded the move-
ment. Also new was the systematic approach, the
application of design principles to modern prod-
ucts and the innovative dynamic thus triggered.
Finally, the considerable commercial success this
design project enjoyed was likewise a revelation.
All of this led the company to establish a design
department that was not merely an appendage,
but rather an active decision-maker in the devel-
opment of products from the initial idea to realiza-
tion. This is how Braun and design became syn-
onymous.
Bernd Polster is one of the best-known German
design authors. Nearly all of his books have been
translated into other languages as well. His most
recent publications are German Design for Modern
Living (2008) und bauhaus design (2009). During
his university studies Polster tried to learn dialecti-
cal thinking from philosopher Leo Kofler. He sub-
sequently traded promising careers as centre for-
ward, artist and psychologist for books on cultural
history and journalistic reporting.

Learning from Hollywood – Architektur
und Film / Architecture and Film
With a foreword by Wolfgang Jacobsen. 128 pp.

cover, German / English

Hollywood is not only the secret world capital
of dreams and the fictions of the subconscious,
but also the capital of architecture.
Hollywood is the Rome and the Versailles of
the 20th and 21st centuries. A new awareness
of space spanning the entire world was created
here. These backgrounds, stage sets and filmic
spaces are indelibly fixed in every spectator’s
mind. It may be in the cinema that the first time
you saw the desert, the Rocky Mountain cliffs,
Greenland’s glacier mountains and California’s
sandy beaches. You saw here the Western sa-
loons and Al Capone’s dark rooms, the poor
Mexicans’ huts and the Kennedys’ penthouse
apartments; you saw here also the jazz clubs
of New Orleans and the dream houses in Los
Angeles. There was and is scarcely a corner
of the earth that the Hollywood film has not
dreamed its way into. Every cinema-goer in the
world sees the same plot, the same images,
the same faces, the same rooms, buildings,
towns and streets. Film’s power to bring people
together can scarcely be overestimated. Film ar-
chitecture is world architecture. All other archi-
tecture – your own town, your own street, your
own house, your own flat – remains small and
parochial in the face of this, restricted to affect-
ing a very tiny sphere.
The architecture of the future will develop in
the field of tension between these two aspects –
small and parochial, large and spanning the en-
tire world. The real architecture of houses and
cities could be enriched in its language by includ-
ing film architecture, and real architecture could
be jolted out of its banality by including the stu-
dio world.
Films and their images can teach us that the
architecture of houses, streets and towns is not
just a problem of order, function and economic
viability, but that psychology, atmosphere and im-
ages are being built here as well.
Hans Dieter Schaal is a trained architect liv-
ing in Attenweiler near Ulm. He works as a de-
signer of buildings, gardens, stage sets and ex-
hibitions. His stage sets and exhibition designs
are among the best of their kind at present.

What runs through our minds when somebody
says the names of the following cities: Rome,
Venice, Warsaw, Singapore, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem,
Lisbon, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas,
Vienna, Paris, Tartu, Tallinn, New York, Moscow,
Saint Petersburg, Barcelona, Geneva, Brussels,
London?
Each name’s aura of associations is so power-
ful that no-one will be able to give an answer that
applies for everybody. When asked this question,
almost everyone’s answer will be triggered by
their own biography, by any personal experience
of the city in question they might have. One per-
son might remember a dishonest taxi driver who
drove them from the airport into the city. Another
might remember a successful or unsuccessful
business deal, while yet another might remember
a terrible or excellent hotel, a project that he or
she completed in that city or people met there.
Some people will have met the love of their lives
there – or quarreled with them for the final time.
Some will have spent their honeymoons there,
while other will have been divorced there. Some
of those asked will certainly have had a bad ac-
cident in one city or the other, or been robbed
there. They might say any of the following things:
»It’s a beautiful city!«, »It’s one of the ugliest and
most dangerous cities I’ve ever been to!«, »You
see nothing but garbage and chaos in that city!«,
»You can forget the passage of time in that city –
it’s so wonderfully old-fashioned that it makes me
cry!«, »This city is so lively and colourful and loud
that it was where I finally found out what life can
be like!«, »That city is so sensible, neat and well-
controlled that it made me even more introverted
and depressed than I am usually!«, »You should
only judge a city by its dogs!«, »A good city for
shopping!«
Although the houses, alleys, streets and city
squares really do exist, every city is created
mostly from stories, beliefs, prejudices, clichés,
scraps of knowledge, observations, personal
experiences, first-hand or second-hand impres-
sions, dreams, hopes and fears.
The architect Hans Dieter Schaal, who has
designed scenery for almost every major theatre
and opera house in the world, often spent many
days in the same city. He began to research the
cities, to get the feel of them and to travel them
on foot like a wanderer. Alongside these subjec-
tive impressions, the author presents plenty of
facts, making this book an accurate picture of
an age dominated by cities.
