FLIEGENDE MÖBEL und andere Geschichten
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. > > look inside language: german format: 16.4 x 20.0 cm 208 pages, numerous, partly historical illustrations/images published: october 2011 syntagma-verlag ISBN: 978-3-940548-31-3 €   |
