"The Museum Quarter in Vienna, the Sydney Opera House, the Grand Louvre in Paris, the Culture and Convention Centre Lucerne, the Groningen Museum and the Museum Monchengladbach have finally made it: They all withstood escalating debates and negative headlines, survived power struggles and electoral wars and have finally been built. "Stronger Opponents Wanted!" can therefore be seen as a challenge." "This book tells how important cultural buildings were realized in the second half of the twentieth century. Each project deals not only with the architecture but also with politics, money, and the unavoidable public debate through the media. All these factors are entwined, influencing the architect's original vision and ultimately determining the nature of the final building, and it is these stories which are told in this book."--BOOK JACKET.
