Ulrich Muther Shell Constructions: In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania [平裝]

內容簡介

The East German engineer Ulrich Muther contributed an important chapter to the European history of shell construction. In 1963 he created the first concrete shell as the realisation of his diploma project in the former GDR. His career of the more than 30 years saw many milestones. Ulrich Muther realised his pioneering shell constructions in his homeland on the island of Rugen, in and around Rostock and in other parts of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This book alternates between a classical architecture guide and an almost archaeological inventory. It furnishes a well founded insight into the euphoric belief in progress that attended the building boom of the sixties and seventies. All the relevant objects in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania have been assembled in one publication for the first time. The buildings are portrayed with the aid of current photographs, plans, texts and project information. Survey maps and addresses facilitate on-site visits. With articles by Michael Wagner and Rahel Lammler, Prof. Arch. Georg Giebeler, Prof. Dr. Massimo Laffranchi.
