Die umstrittene gläserne Fassade der Akademie der Künste in Berlin - Baubeginn ist im Jahr 2000 - steht als das jüngste Beispiel für die Architektur des Büros Behnisch & Partner: Wagnis, Offenheit, Transparenz - diese Züge, die inzwischen beinahe jeder mit dem Olympiastadion in München verbindet, haben von Beginn an das Werk von Behnisch geprägt, der von Stuttgart aus durch seine Bauten in West- und Ostdeutschland, aber auch für Bristol, Wageningen oder Kopenhagen zu einem weltweit renommierten Architekten avancierte. Peter Blundell Jones, der international für seine Schriften über organische Architektur bekannte Autor, unternimmt in diesem Buch einen nach Bautypen geordneten Gang durch das Werk und gibt im einleitenden Essay eine grundlegende Interpretation.

Copiously illustrated review of 45 major works,
By
This review is from: Günter Behnisch (Studio Paperback) (Paperback)
This is a concise and copiously illustrated paperback survey on only 206 pages of all major buildings and projects from 1959 to 2000 published under ISBN: 3764360461 by Birkhäuser (Basel...) in English and German. Following 17 pages with the architect's biography and analysis of his development and style, each of the presented 45 of a total of 119 works is headed by a description from as little as just a few lines to less than a half page long followed by illustrations from one to several depending on the work's scope. All of over 200 only B&W illustrations - many of them technical (plans, sections, sketches, elevations, etc.) in addition to B&W photos of a good quality - are well balanced, superbly crisp and perfectly legible. On several pages at the end, there are: biographies of partners, selected project credits, list of works, selective bibliography, etc. Like all from the Studio Paperback series, this book is solid among architectural monographs even of a bigger size.
