Summary:

"The Pavilion: Pleasure and Polemics in Architecture examines both the history and the contemporary state of pavilion architecture. This historical survey consists of two parts: first, the examination of a group of twentieth-century pavilions - categorical examples that form an architectural typology and can be interpreted as such - and second, a comprehensive collection of essays. This analysis was produced by students of the Stadelschule Architecture Class in Frankfurt am Main. In the theoretical section, well-known authors discuss the materials used in pavilions, starting with influences from the Orient, India, and Asia, and moving on to significant twentiethcentury pavilions and today's issue of temporary buildings somewhere between art and architecture. In addition, this volume documents the research and development of a summer pavilion for the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main done by the offices of Barkow Leibinger and Werner Sobek Stuttgart."--Jacket
