Résumé:
A presentation of Werner Sobek's experimental but fascinating house in Stuttgart which caused a furore when it was built. When this single family house was built, it took the international architecture world by storm. Constructed on a modular basis, it was glazed throughout, had no interior dividing walls, and could meet its own energy requirements completely. This is the first book to document Sobek's unique house. In it the author explains the architectural design, describing the supporting structures, the technology used, the temperature control system, and to conclude he explores what it must be like to live in such a futuristic building.

Résumé:
In Arlesheim near Basel, Switzerland, the architects Klaus Schuldt and Andreas Scheiwiller have constructed five two-storey villas on a communal plot of land - it is no coincidence that their minimalist appearances are reminiscent of the style developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the(...)

Résumé:
In Arlesheim near Basel, Switzerland, the architects Klaus Schuldt and Andreas Scheiwiller have constructed five two-storey villas on a communal plot of land - it is no coincidence that their minimalist appearances are reminiscent of the style developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the arrangement of these houses on this rural site which make "Ensemble Habitat" so interesting. Striking a careful balance between the individual and the general, between diversity and simplicity, this small group of houses can be justifiably considered exemplary.

Résumé:
In the years 1988-1995 the Japanese architect Tadao Ando built a museum complex complete with a hotel, restaurant and seminar rooms on the island Naoshima (Kagawa). Constructed out of concrete, its platforms and walls extend far out into the landscape, framing the natural surroundings as a picture. Ando's customary restraint in his selection of materials, and his preference for simple forms which allow the serenity of the surrounding land and seascape to penetrate the rooms are much in evidence in this masterpiece. In this book, Werner Blaser has successfully captured the essence of tranquility so characteristic of Ando's architecture. His photographs are of an extraordinarily beautiful and reflective intensity. Also included is an introductory essay, drawing comparisons to Ando's other buildings which all succeed in combining nature and geometry.

Résumé:
In 1952-1953 Mies van der Rohe built the Crown Hall in Chicago: it was to house the College of Architecture on Illinois' Institute of Technology campus. A spectacular building constructed out of steel and glass, it has no interior supports and the roof is suspended from four steel girders. In the Hall free-standing partitions subdivide the space, creating drawing rooms, a library and an exhibition room. The basement is used for offices and workshops. In Crown Hall, Mies van der Rohe's continual search for a clear expression of structure reached its pinnacle, and in this book this epochal building is presented in text and illustrations by Werner Blaser, who has worked together with Mies van der Rohe.

Résumé:
After a trip to Japan in 1953, Werner Bläser published his landmark book on Classical Japanese architecture. His studies of 17th-18th-century wooden buildings document minimalist, grid-based structures using stark black-and-white photographs, some color photographs and numerous line drawings. His book, highly prized in terms of design and content, contributed significantly to introducing Japanese aesthetics to Western architecture, art and graphics. Mies van der Rohe, for example, gave it to many of his friends. The reprint is enriched by a text on the history of the book by Christian Blaser, Werner Blaser's son, a contribution by Inge Andritz on Mies van der Rohe and Japanese architecture, and a personal afterword by Tadao Ando.
