Summary:
Modern architects are often condemned for a seeming disregard of site considerations such as climate, topography, and existing vegetation. Noted landscape and architectural historian Marc Treib counters this prevailing view in an authoritative and unprecedented survey of 20th-century buildings and their landscapes. Exploring a range of architectural, philosophical, and theoretical approaches, Treib investigates the site strategies of five prominent modern-period architects: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959), Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), Richard Neutra (1892–1970), Alvar Aalto (1898–1976), and Luis Barragán (1902–1988).

Summary:
Hospital architecture reflects society in a state of flux. How do we care for our patients? What working environments do we offer caregivers? How does the hospital fit into our cities? When it comes to planning a hospital, architects are not only faced with the challenge of meaningfully combining function and construction. They also design rooms that temporarily serve patients, staff and relatives as a working and living environment. Christine Nickl-Weller and Hans Nickl have been engaged in the field of hospital construction for 40 years. From their rich wealth of experience in practical work and academic research, they view the hospital on a variety of levels. This holistic view is enriched by contributions from renowned authors from disciplines as diverse as psychology, health management, landscape architecture and art history.
