Author: Nils Balhausen (ed)
Seventy-six architectural firms, in German-speaking countries and internationally, open their doors and show us the spaces in which they work. There is a view of the outside of each architectural firm, one of the interior, and a floor plan, where the work places of the owners are highlighted. This is accompanied by a thematic introductory essay and a fundamental observation of continuities and discontinuities of the 'atelier/studio.'The rooms in which architects work and receive visitors today tell of a profession that is itself a polyglot, down to earth, makeshift, honest, ironic, serious, or playful. Employees work in skyscrapers and barns, in townhouses and storage buildings, on the water and in the woods.
ISBN 9783038214120. Birkhauser Verlag. pb. 240 pages. 140 colour ills. 70 drawings. 16.5 x 24 cm.
