Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) gilt heute als Hauptvertreter der französischen Revolutionsarchitektur. Sein vielgestaltiger Erfindungsreichtum griff die Architekturideale seiner Zeit auf und entwickelte daraus kühne Utopien. Dieses Buch stellt Ledoux' Bauten und Projekte in ihrer ästhetischen wie historischen Bedeutung dar. An seinen Werken - die königlichen Salinen von Arc-et-Senans, das Zollgebäude von Paris, die Idealstadt von Chaux - zeigt sich, wie diese Architektur aus der Antike und der Renaissance schöpft, aber auch eine ganz eigene Formensprache findet. Mit der Revolution war Ledoux' bauliches Schaffen beendet, da er den Zeitgenossen als Architekt des Königs galt. Er widmete sich nun der theoretischen Arbeit und entfaltete seine Vision des modernen Architekten.
Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) was one of the most versatile architects of the 20th century. His work reconciles the opposites of organic and rational building, of technological innovation and a regionalist attitude, of individual form and universal expression. He fled from Germany in 1933 via England and Palestine to the USA, and his work remains influential to this day. This comprehensive monograph documents all 70 of Mendelsohn's known completed buildings through text and images. In two essays, it also looks at his design approach and his life. A newly compiled register lists all of his unbuilt projects The publication also contains numerous new photographs by Carsten Krohn, newly drawn plans and historical illustrations.
Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) gehört zu den vielseitigsten Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Werk verbindet die Gegensätze von organischem und rationalem Bauen, von technologischer Innovation und einer regionalistischen Haltung, von individueller Form und einem universalen Ausdruck. Auch nach seiner Emigration aus Deutschland 1933 über England und Palästina in die USA bleibt er einflussreich bis heute. Die umfassende Monografie dokumentiert sämtliche 70 bekannten, realisierten Bauten Mendelsohns in Text und Bild. Sie setzt sich in zwei Essays aber auch mit den ungebauten Projekten auseinander. Ein neu erstelltes Werkverzeichnis listet sämtliche Arbeiten auf. Zahlreiche neue Fotografien Carsten Krohns, neu gezeichnete Pläne sowie historische Abbildungen illustrieren die Publikation.

Urban design is based on planning and design principles that need to meet functional demands on the one hand, but on the other hand bring the design elements together into a distinctive whole. This book examines the important design and presentation principles of urban design, using selected historical examples and more.
In the first decades of the 20th century, civil engineers were widely seen as a role model for future architects. Their role within the contemporary architecture movements, however, was hardly discussed. To this day, even fundamental questions about collaborations, rivalries, or conflicts between the two sister disciplines still await answers. This volume brings together contributions by international scholars on the cooperation between architects and civil engineers in various countries in the interwar period. By offering both insights into national peculiarities and new reflections on the general nature, character, and significance of such joint efforts, it opens exciting new perspectives on the modern building culture of Europe and beyond.
Architectural work in dialogue with different disciplines Founded by Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi as a design network between Milan, London and Mumbai, OBR explores new modes of contemporary living, developing an architecture that responds sensitively to and stimulates interaction with its environment, while adapting to the changing needs of society. OBR's work strives to promote a sense of community enhancing individual identities. In this book, the architects present their work as a communal endeavor. They engage influential people in transdisciplinary dialogues that extend beyond architecture itself, questioning its autonomy and offering new perspectives on its potential and relevance. The monograph showcases a selection of twenty-four international projects by OBR that address key social issues through the medium of architecture. The first monograph on OBR's work Selection of 24 international projects presented in texts, plans and photographs Transdisciplinary dialogues with Roni Horn, Michel Desvigne, Giovanna Borasi, and Georges Amar
