Publishers blurb Trix and Robert Haussmann form what is probably the internationally best-known architect couple in Switzerland. Their joint work began in 1967 with the founding of the office that later became known as "Allgemeine Gestaltungsanstalt Zürich", questioned modernity and redesigned the areas of design, interior design and architecture. Robert Haussmann taught at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zurich, the ETH Zurich and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Trix Haussmann also at the ETH Zurich. In 2013, the two were honored with the Grand Prix Design Schweiz.This new volume in the series "Protagonists of Swiss Living Culture" examines the arc of tension between the early and late phase of Haussmann's work. On the basis of in-depth insights into individual projects, he provides information on how the Haussmanns transitioned from modernism to "manierismo critico" in a playful, fluent and consistent manner, how they took up and implemented the social change between the late 1960s and the 1980s, and always staying true to themselves. The (chrono-)logical sequence of their work is presented with numerous images and documents, so that the contrary positions are comprehensible and illustrated as a continuum. Condition: Cover boards bumped on the bottom especially bottom right on front. Otherwise looks unread. POSTAGE: UK postage is free. Overseas postage is quoted for parcels up to 2kg (2-3kg for the heavier books). If your parcel weighs over 3kg I will contact you to agree extra postage. If the actual postage is much less than quoted I will refund the difference.…
