Summary:
Rob Krier counts among the protagonists of the post-modernist circle of architects of the second half of the 20th century, and is one of the leading thinkers in the field of the theory and practice of town planning. He has always objected strongly to the dominance of rationalism and functionalism in architecture. Of great significance in his urban planning is the relationship between emptyand built upon urban space. Krier is also one of the most exceptional architectural draftsmen; his colourful, precise and detailed drawings are more like architectural vedutas and caprices. Presented here in all its manifold aspects are over four decades of Rob Krier's work, including a complete list of works.

Summary:
This book, accompanying an exhibition at the Deutsches Architektur Museum, is an attempt to define post-modernism in terms of what architecture is capable of achieving and what it must achieve. While the exhibition primarily shows buildings that are outstanding for their exceptionally high quality, the theoretical part of the catalogue provides a mouthpiece for critical voices. Both opponents and advocates of post-modernist theory and practice are given a forum to air their views: architects, architectural theorists, arts critics, and academics.

Summary:
This book examines forty projects representing the exemplary work of the internationally renowned architecture firm KSP Engel and Zimmermann. In the course of the past several years, KSP Engel and Zimmermann has become one of the most successful architecture firms in Germany. The firm now has offices in Berlin, Braunschweig, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Munich. Its projects include office buildings, hospitals, schools, libraries, sports facilities and residential architecture. KSP Engel and Zimmermann's rich architectural language covers a broad spectrum-from sensitive intervention in existing structures to striking high-rise buildings. This book features an interview in which the two architects clarify their approach to architecture, their curiosity about building abroad, and their recent success. Essays by Peter Davey, editor-in-chief of Architectural Review, and Ingeborg Flagge, director of the Deutsches Architektur Museum, provide a portrait of these self-assured yet open-minded and highly pragmatic architects. The book illustrates the firm's architectural and planning competence in a presentation of forty different projects, including the Federal Press Office in Berlin, the Trade Fair Forum in Frankfurt, Volkswagen Hall in Braunschweig, the Bertelsmann Foundation building in Gütersloh, and a number of high-rise projects in Frankfurt.

Summary:
Leipzig is the perfect example of an east German boomtown. Courageous decisions were made early on, relocating, for instance, the exhibition site out of the inner city and building the most modern fair complex in Europe in just three years. Countless buildings for trade, commerce and the service industry have appeared, and Leipzig is now the largest finance centre in Germany after Frankfurt, with more than 100 bank branches. Leipzig has always profited from its long tradition as a commercial and bourgeois city, home to trade fairs, and at the beginning of this century Saxony's metropolis was the second richest city in Germany. The restoration of prestigious buildings such as the Madlerpassage and Specks Hof became well-known, even industrial monuments found new users and also residential and cultural buildings attracted attention. This book looks critically at the current situation, providing an overview of more than 70 selected buildings.
