Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. B : 528 Pages, 34 x 46 cm, in a slipcase - Architecture must burn. Open-minded designs and undefined spaces of radical architecture ""Coop Himmelb(l)au is not a color but an idea of creating architecture with fantasy, as buoyant and variable as clouds."" So the architecture group itself defines its name and design concept. Beginning with inflated bubbles and interactive installations in the 1960s, the group, consisting of the architects Wolf D. Prix, Helmut Swiczinsky and Michael Holzer, began to create harsh interventions in the urban context under the headline ""architecture must burn."" The designs of the buildings are like oversized sound boxes, with dancing silhouettes and collapsing lines that are always rushing and echoing. As one of only a few groups in those early times, they are among the leading international architecture offices today, justified by their outstanding expressiveness and professionalism. …

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Ungelesenes Mängelexemplar mit leichten Lagerspuren, Sofortversand - 'Coop Himmelb(l)au ist keine Farbe, sondern die Idee, Architektur mit Phantasie leicht und veränderbar wie Wolken zu machen.' So beschreiben die Architekten selbst den Namen und das Konzept ihrer Gruppierung. In den 1960er-Jahren mit pneumatischen Kugeln und interaktiven Installationen beginnend, schuf die aus den Architekten Wolf D. Prix, Helmut Swiczinsky und Michael Holzer bestehende Gruppe nach der Leitlinie 'Architektur muss brennen' schroffe Eingriffe in den urbanen Kontext. Ihre Gebäude ähneln überdimensionierten Schallkörpern mit tanzenden Silhouetten und kollabierenden Linien voller Dynamik und Widerhall. Als eine von nur wenigen Gruppen jener frühen Tage gehört Coop Himmelb(l)au heute dank seiner herausragenden Ausdruckskraft und Professionalität zu den international führenden Architekturbüros. Herausgeber und Architekt erarbeiteten gemeinsam diese umfassende Werkschau, die mit ihren unzähligen, sorgfältig gewählten Skizzen, Modellfotos und technischen Zeichnungen neben visueller Opulenz auch einen Blick in die Planungswerkstatt von den Anfängen 1968 bis zu den aktuellen Großprojekten bietet.…
