Hans Scharoun: Buildings in Berlin (3 View-Master reels) [Misc. Supplies]

Peter Blundell Jones (Author), Michael Kaplan (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 20, 2002

The importance of Hans Scharoun (1893-1972) as one of the leading figures in the Modern movement has only recently been acknowledged. His use of non-rectilinear geometry in plan and creation of expressive flowing spaces define his place in architectural history. Two of his public buildings in Berlin, the Philharmonic concert hall (1963) and the State Library (1979) are photographed for the first time in three dimensions and presented on three View-Master® reels. Included in the packet is Scharoun's own conceptual description of the Philharmonic, and notes by Peter Blundell Jones discussing the buildings in the context of the architect's career.

This review is from: Hans Scharoun: Buildings in Berlin (3 View-Master reels) (Misc. Supplies)

This well photographed, well presented offering transports the viewer into Scharoun's unique architectural creations! Crisp 3D shots with an eye to intriguing perspective coupled with thoughtful use of lighting, highlight his designs and give the viewer a sense of 'being there'. I was so impressed, I have also acquired Bruce Goff: 3 Houses (3 ViewMaster Reels Only),FALLINGWATER: Frank Lloyd Wright ViewMaster 3D 3-Reel Set and EAMES in 3D - Charles & Ray - House, Furniture & More - ViewMaster 3 Reel Set. Each set is equally satisfying and all are welcome additions to the never ending View Master collection. My highest recommendation to any fan of 3D, design and/or architecture who may contemplate a purchase!
