Buildings And Regions Annual 2002/2003

by Florian Mausbach (Contributor)

Devoted to the most important German architectural and engineering projects, built both in Germany and overseas, Buildings and Regions Annual acts as the printed emissary for architecture and urban planning culture in Germany. Featured projects in this year's edition include international projects like the Italo-German culture center on Lake Comer, the new German embassy in Santiago de Chile, and the renovation of one of the oldest buildings in Budapest. The architects for the recently completed federal buildings in Germany talk about their projects; Jenny Holzer, winner of the Art in Building prize, presents her design for the Federal Press Office; the story of the Shrmann Building in Bonn, one of the most plagued but ultimately most successful of construction projects, is told; Sebastian Saad writes about the federal coin design competition; and one of the best-kept secrets in Germany, a researcher's exploration of the 19-kilometer-long hallways of the government bunker in Marienthal, is revealed.
