Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: The architects in the Viennese Coop Himmelb(l)au team have felt committed to the credo of constructing cities and buildings that float like clouds ever since the practice was founded in 1968. The recently opened BMW World is such a floating building. Excellent photographs provide a record of this demonstration project by BMW. The urban-sculptural and internal spatial qualities of the building are analysed thoroughly, and dealt with in detail in the context of Coop Himmelb(l)au's older and more recent works.; Frank R Werner was professor of history and theory of architecture at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste Stuttgart from 1990 to 1993, since 1993 he has been director of the Institut fuer Architekturgeschichte und Architekturtheorie at the Bergische Universitaet in Wuppertal. He studied painting, architecture and architectural history in Mainz, Hanover and Stuttgart. Christian Richters studied communication design at the Institut fuer Architekturgeschichte und Architekturtheorie at the Bergische Universitaet in Wuppertal. Christian Richters studied communication design at the Folkwangschule in Essen. He is one of the most sought-after architecture photographers in Europe. To date he has been represented in the Opus series by nine volumes, including ones about the embassies of the Nordic countries and the Bode Museum in Berlin, the Nieuwe Luxor Theater in Rotterdam and the BMW Welt in Munich.; Google Preview content
