In this exciting, large-format volume, hundreds of photographs and illustrations document a major shift from the building as structure to the building as image. This exploration of the use and significance of two-dimensional images in contemporary architecture looks at the works of major designers, including Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, MVRDV, and Sauerbruch & Hutton, among others. It shows how certain architectural principles such as color and ornament - which nearly disappeared in modern twentieth century architecture - are making a strong comeback. Drawing connections to the rise of globalization and current media trends, this examination uses an abundance of thematically arranged photographs to illustrate what is unmistakably a major contemporary developement in architecture.

Book Description Archivexemplar mit leichten Lagerspuren, 345 x 295 mm. Das Bildhafte der Architektur ist ein höchst interessantes, bisher nicht näher untersuchtes zeitgenössisches Phänomen: Architektur wird heute nicht nur vordringlich als Bild wahrgenommen - viele Projekte und Gebäude sehen selbst aus wie Bilder. Dieser aufregende Band dokumentiert und diskutiert an Hunderten von Fotos den Wechsel vom Gebäude als Konstruktion zum Gebäude als Bild und demonstriert am Werk bedeutender Architekten wie z. B. Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas oder Herzog & de Meuron die auffällige Wiederverwendung solch architektonischer Prinzipien wie Farbe und Ornament. Gewicht 1,8 kg, internationaler Versand ausserhalb der EU mit erheblichen Mehrkosten. Mwst.: 7%. Wir verschicken keine Bestellbestätigung, Versand wenn möglich am Tag des Bestelleingangs.
