Summary:
There's no getting around it anymore. We are in an age of globalization, and cities around the world are being challenged in brand new ways with no historical precedents to guide them. The highly anticipated international building exhibition IBA Hamburg 2013 is preparing to tackle the many challenges that apply to metropolises around the world in our era, asking difficult questions and soliciting innovative responses. Socially and geographically, how can we bring peripheral districts back into the city? How can we tap the full potential of international urban society? How can we cope with the requirements of climate change? This first installment of a ten-volume series leading up to the 2013 conference features retrospective documentation of former German building exhibitions, an outlook to the IBA Hamburg and complex considerations of the metropolis phenomenon.

Summary:
In 2009, the Dolder Grand celebrates its first birthday following a four-year remodelling by Foster+Partners. To mark the occasion, this publication outlines the history of an iconic institution, steeped in tradition, from its beginnings as a Kurhaus in 1899 to its present-day reincarnation. Photographers from the Zurich studio nave have documented the entire project throughout every stage of the refurbishment, charting the scope of the hotel’s metamorphosis. They portray the people who made it all possible and also allow them to speak for themselves. The resulting narrative in pictures and words is not simply a linear documentation, but a rich and complex tapestry in which text and image are interwoven with a lyricism that brings the architecture to life on the pages of the book. Journalist Judith Wyder complements the photographs with anecdotes that give a many-facetted insight into the operational logistics behind the scenes in the day-to-day running of the hotel. In addition, she details the painstaking restoration work, the history of the hotel itself and the names of some of its most famous guests. Dutch novelist Cees Nooteboom has contributed an essay in which he describes the hotel as a microcosm and a home away from home, musing on how guests tend to take possession of the hotels they stay in.
