In this book, the question is raised: is it possible to produce gold at the super Proton Synchrotron research center at CERN - the strongest particle accelerator in the world? We do, however, learn something about "flying like a seagull" with an albatros model with a 14-meter wingspan, disputes from the CIAM congresses, the daily agenda in Frank Lloyd Wright´s bureau in Taliensin, specific information about the end of the Sihlhochstraße in Zurich, or the neverending story of the drawn-out energetic renovation of our institute´s own buildings at the TU Darmstadt.
Peter Steiger´s narrative meandering through world and architectural history, absolutely free of tall tales, is definitely worth the price of this little book.
