About this title

Synopsis:

Friedrich Weinbrenner was the first internationally important German architect of the nineteenth century. His planning for the city of Karlsruhe-and his design of every imaginable type of structure, including palaces, churches, synagogue, government buildings, city gates, shops, fountains, theaters, armories, cemetery buildings and farms-is a remarkable achievement. This collection includes treatment of Weinbrenner's contributions to agricultural architecture. Based on new rationalist models that were greatly influenced by the scientific movement in the mideighteenth century.

Review:

"Superb. . . . The Pennsylvania drawings take us beyond this singular image and reveal the breadth of Weinbrenner's extensive practice."-History and Theory
