Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: The book is a collection of contributions by internationally renowed authors and examines not only the buildings themselves but also other aspects of the topic that have hitherto received little attention. It turns to architecture students, professionals working in architecture as architects, architectural historians and critics. Many architects who built a house of one's own tried to bring the special message of their design to the public's attention by putting all their ideas into action. They created in this way their own 'manifesto'. Was this possible under the conditions of migration and exile? To what extent, for example, do other buildings of the architects differ from such 'houses of one's own' in a foreign country, to use an expression borrowed and modified from Virginia Wolf? This are two of numerous of questions around the subject 'immigration and exile of architects' for which the authors of the book try to find answers.; Burcu Dogramaci lehrt Kunstgeschichte an der Ludwig-Maximilians-UniversitA?t MA"nchen und forscht zur Kunst der Moderne und der Gegenwart. Andreas Schaetzke teaches the history of architecture and urban design at the Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern. His research fields include architecture and urban design in post-war Europe and the relations between architecture, politics and society in the 20th century.; Google Preview content
