Eckhard Gerber Livres

Eckhard Gerber zählt zu den renommiertesten Architekten der Gegenwart. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg hat er eine Fülle öffentlicher und privater Bauten errichten können, die trotz ihrer Einfachheit höchsten baukünstlerischen Ansprüchen genügen. Dabei haben spektakuläre Großprojekte in Europa, Asien und arabischen Ländern Gerbers Ruf eines international geschätzten Baumeisters gefestigt. Viele seiner Werke sind mit Architekturpreisen ausgezeichnet worden. Die vorliegende Monografie vereint herausragende Bauten aus allen Schaffensphasen und stellt deren zeitgeschichtliche und architekturtheoretische Relevanz heraus. Nicht gebaute Projekte sowie ein vollständiges OEuvreverzeichnis runden die von dem Architekturhistoriker Frank R. Werner herausgegebene großzügige Werkmonografie ab.
