Résumé:
For forty years now, the architectural partnership of von Gerkan, Marg and Partners has been actve internationally. Volkwin Marg is on of the founders. He is neither a constructivist nor a deconstructivist, but inderstands architecture as a master builder's art. He bridges the cultural gap between rational technology and sensuous art by architectural-artistic synthesis of structural form-finding and interpretative form-giving. For him, the understanding of rational structure, and the understandability of architectural formal languages are the two sides of one and the same coin called architecture. The building and projects presented in this catalogue - stadiums, sports arenas, trade-fair complexes, bridges and towers - demonstrate the architect's joy in crative designing in co-operation with structural engineers.

Résumé:
The subject of the book is an architectural encounter with the psyche, the starting point being an intervention in a solitary confinement cell of a psychiatric clinic in 1997. Crumbling edges, shifting perceptions, a world of confinement and liberated space, ... a network of thoughts and illusions, ... "sequences" describes the development of architectonic structures in an in-between world of unstable equilibrium. Architecture, art, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy are all linked by perception. By means of pictures, drawings and (thought) models, the different layers are exposed. The book has no beginning and no end, it offers an insight into various sequences involved in the design process

Résumé:
A new council office, designed by Squire and Partners, opened in Nairobi in November 2004. The design utilises the local climate and orientation to passively control the building’s environment and has evolved from Squire and Partners’ ethos of contextual modernism. The practice works hard with site locations, aspect and orientation to develop proposals that are both appropriate and culturally of their 'place’. The design responds specifically to both the culture of the British council in East Africa and the site context of central Nairobi to create a dramatic, beautiful space. The British Council’s Visual Arts Department commissioned a site specific work for the new building from artist David Tremlett who was invited to contribute wall drawings to the front and back elevations and to the main corridors leading to the teaching areas within the building. The drawings of rubbed pigment and varnish highlight accentuate the flat planes of the building and the colours harmonise with the vibrant richness of the Kenyan soil, vegetation and sky.
