Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Cloth, dj. Minor shelf wear; some scuffing to cloth. Else a bright, clean copy. An architecture book for all those excited by contemporary, innovative building design and development. Richly illustrated with a broad spectrum of architectural photography, drawings, and sketches. A look behind the scenes with one of the world's leading architects. In many regards, architecture of the 21st century has to fit a square peg into a round hole. It should be energetic and meaningful and yet be as sustainable as possible in all details. It should offer ample and proportioned space for its inhabitants, but also fit harmoniously into its environment. Architect Jean-Francois Koenig has been meeting these requirements for four decades. With the goal of improving the life quality of the inhabitants and users of his buildings, he sets out elaborate aesthetic designs that also include infrastructure and transport connections. The projects in Jean-Francois Koenig's portfolio -- including offices, private houses, hotels, public buildings, and schools -- reflect his enhancement and integration of the many facets of urban life. When he won the third prize in a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) competition in 1979, with Norman Foster as judge, Koenig was the only architecture student among the winners. Even at that stage, his sketch for a pedestrian link between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square demonstrated his sense for the city environment, not to mention his outstanding graphic talent. One of Koenig's many esteemed projects is the Commercial Bank on the island of Mauritius, Koenig's native home, where he continues to reside. …

Hardcover/Hardback. Condition: New. Ein Architekturbuch fuer alle, die sich fuer modernes, innovatives Baudesign und dessen Entstehungsprozess begeisternEin breites Spektrum an Architekturfotografie, Architekturzeichnungen und SkizzenHier laesst sich ein Stararchitekt in die Karten schauenDie moderne Baukunst des 21. Jahrhunderts hat mit ihren diversen Aufgaben die Quadratur des Kreises zu erfuellen: Sie soll energetisch sinnvoll und auch in jedem anderen Merkmal moeglichst nachhaltig sein, in der Regel reichlich Raum fuer jeden Menschen bieten und sich dennoch harmonisch in die Umgebung einfuegen. Jean-Francois Koenig stellt sich diesen Anforderungen bereits seit vier Jahrzehnten. Mit dem Ziel, die Lebensqualitaet der Bewohner und Nutzer seiner Architektur zu verbessern, setzt er auf durchdachtes, aesthetisches Design auch unter Beruecksichtigung von Infrastruktur und Verkehrsanbindung. Viele Facetten des staedtischen Lebens spiegeln Koenigs Portfolio wider. Neben Bueros, Privathaeusern, Hotels und oeffentlichen Gebaeuden entdeckt man auch Schulen. Als er 1979 bei einem Architekturwettbewerb des RIBA Royal Institute of British Architects, mit Norman Forster als Juror, den dritten Preis gewann, war er der einzige Student unter den Gewinnern. Schon damals zeigte sich in seinem Entwurf fuer einen Fussgaengeruebergang zwischen Trafalgar Square und Leicester Square sein Sinn fuer staedtebauliche Kontexte. Eines von Koenigs vielfach geachteten Objekten ist die Commercial Bank auf der Insel Mauritius, von der er stammt und die auch heute noch sein Wohnort ist.…
