Uwe Schröder Werkverzeichnis I - by David Kasparek Hardcover

Book Synopsis

The architect, professor, and author Uwe Schröder has shaped the debate on fundamental themes of architecture--topology and typology, space and aesthetics--for more than three decades with his clear, uncompromising stance. These two beautifully crafted volumes present, for the first time, his award-winning oeuvre in its entirety: buildings and designs with numerous photographs and drawings, as well as the key texts Schröder has written over the years and his Raumentwurfslehre (theory of spatial design). The books open with essays by Bonn-based architecture journalist David Kasparek, who also compiled the complete chronology of Schröder's work. When viewed together, a fascinating picture emerges of the reciprocal influences of building, thinking, and teaching--disciplines so often regarded as separate.

Vol. I covers the years 1992-2014, vol. II covers the years 2015-2025. The books are available as a set consisting of volumes I-II. The individual volumes can also be purchased separately.

• First comprehensive monograph on the influential Bonn-based architect and professor
• Award-winning buildings such as the Wohnhöfe Auerberg, the Haus auf der Hostert, and the Hochzeitsturm Plüderhausen
• Explores the reciprocal relationship between architectural theory, architectural practice, and design theory
