Gert Kähler Livres

Ce livre présente 30 exemples actuels de maisons individuelles construites en Allemagne, Autriche et en Suisse. Il démontre la possibilité de construire des maisons à la fois fonctionnelles, écologiques et créatives, à des prix très compétitifs. Que les maisons soient construites en bois, en acier ou de façon traditionnelle, qu'elles soient classiques ou modernes, elles ont toutes en commun de ne pas dépasser le coût de 1 500 € par m2. Les informations les plus importantes de chaque projet sont résumées de manière claire : taille du terrain, surface habitable et utile, valeurs énergétiques ainsi que l'année de construction. Chaque maison est présentée de manière détaillée à l'aide d'images et d'explications : les photos donnent un aperçu de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur de la construction, les dessins originaux des architectes ainsi qu'un résumé des données les plus importantes livrent des informations primordiales sur la construction.

The architects GMP, von Gerkan, Marg and Partners, are famous for their transportation hubs, museums, theaters, offices and shopping complexes. They also build homes. The houses and villas showcased here--in photos, plans and conversations with the architects--are outstanding examples of their genre.

Why would a world-class architect like Meinhard von Gerkan of GMP (von Gerkan, Marg + Partners) design furniture? To appoint his own buildings, of course. This album catalogues von Gerkan's simple, enduring sensuous objects and gives a tantalizing glimpses of his clear, geometrical shapes in high-quality materials.

Following the Football European Championship UEFA EURO 2012, in this book the Akademie der Künste in Berlin focuses on the stadium as a key public space and as a venue for holding mass events. Volkwin Marg, a member of the Akademie and a founding partner of gmp von Gerkan, Marg and Partners architects, presents the historico-cultural interplay of sport, architecture, and fan culture, together with the historian of architecture Gert Kähler and Michael Kuhn (gmp). The content of the six chapters ranges from the sacred background to contests in ancient times to the current politicization and commercialization of sport. The authors place sport and sporting venues in the context of social and political circumstances in ancient times, under National Socialism and in the post-war era, with the stadium as the architectural reflection of the social structure.

An unusual journey between Breslau and Dessau, from the World Cultural Heritage of the Centennial Hall (1913) to the World Cultural Heritage of Bauhaus dating from the twenties: and there are many highpoints of modern architecture in-between—in Görlitz, Dresden-Hellerau, Leipzig or Chemnitz, for example. Almost all the great modernist architects are gathered together here, from Hans Poelzig and Henry van de Velde to Heinrich Tessenow, Richard Riemerschmid, Hans Scharoun, Erich Mendelsohn and even Walter Gropius. But the focus is also on the cities themselves; at a very early date, their progressive building councillors thought hard about European urban development—about buildings ranging from striking tower blocks to top-quality mass housing. This publication illustrates an important chapter of our architectural history in an original, condensed-format travel guide.

The new building for the Alfred-Wegener-Institut fur Polar und Meeresforschung, named after Alfred Wegener, the famous geo-scientific pioneer, is near the city centre by the commercial harbor, not far from warehouses and other industrial buildings. What is striking is the unusual a pattern is made with glazed tiles in white, grey and black, seeming more regular than it actually is. The architects―pictorially speaking―have set up poles at the corners of the plot and stretched fabric between them.

Nach dem Krieg hatte Hamburg weniger als eine Million Einwohner, 1964 verdoppelte sich die Zahl. Der Fotograf Günther Krüger dokumentierte den Wiederaufbau mit Luftbildern, die eine Stadt zeigen, die sich neu erfindet. Gert Kählers Kommentare und Lagepläne ergänzen die historischen Fotos und bieten eine moderne Perspektive auf die Veränderungen.
