Description: This unique two-volume set is the first retrospective catalog of the works of one of Germany s most innovative architectural firms. Perhaps most widely known for the spectacular glass cube that is the Stuttgart Museum of Art, the firm of Hascher Jehle has been at the cutting edge of technologically advanced architecture since its inception in 1992. This brilliantly conceived catalog of their most important works to date is divided into two interrelated volumes connected by one cover. ThoughtsA" reveals the philosophy and strategies behind the architecture while BuildingsA" displays full-color photographs of the structures themselves. The works featured here include a variety of buildings, including the DVG headquarters in Hanover, a shopping and business complex in Stuttgart, and the Exhibition Hall 11 and West Entrance to the trade fair in Frankfurt, Main. Leading the way in the development of theory and the employment of technology, Hascher Jehle has been awarded numerous prizes for their use of steel, concrete, and wood, and in the field of urban development. -- Book Description.
