Résumé:
"Unfinished atlas" features nineteen built and unrealized projects from Basel-based firm Manuel Herz Architects. Developed for highly diverse locations in ten countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia, they vary greatly in terms of building program, scale, character, and vision. The projects include housing, cultural and public buildings, exhibition and furniture designs, as well as architectural and urban research. Conceived as a critical retrospective, this book traces all stages of a project from initial sketches to completion, looking also at the afterlife of realized buildings. As the title "Unfinished atlas" suggests, architecture should never be considered entirely completed: there is always room and potential for later interventions by and with others. Five thematic chapters highlight the ever-changing challenges for a designer that arise from working in complex environments and different socioeconomic conditions.
