Marcel Breuer - A Memoir --- by Robert F. Gatje,
By A Customer
This review is from: Marcel Breuer: A Memoir (Paperback)
The book tells a fascinating story about Breuer's contributions to modern architecture, and it's difficult to put it down once you start reading. The author has crafted a superb, engagingly written-as well as information packed- volume. Gatje has woven a great insider's story about Breuer and his creative processes, including the structuring and daily operations of Breuer's architectural offices while they were engaged in a variety of trend-setting projects. He candidly discusses project development politics from drafting room-to client-to the ministerial levels of foreign governments. The long, often arduous, journey from master plan to project completion is graphically portrayed by a number of examples. Also discussed are highlights in the personal and professional lives of Breuer and the many persons intimately involved in his work. Breuer was one of the brilliant professionals living in our generation. The book should be of interest to technical and business professionals as well as lay readers, an unusual quality. |
