The drama of space : spatial sequences and compositions in architecture
\"The experience of architectural spaces is formed by the way they are structured, arranged and orchestrated. The Drama of Space examines the composition and articulation of architectural spaces and presents a repertoire of means and strategies for shaping spatial experience. This fundamental approach to architectural design is presented in four parts - principles of spatial dramaturgy are traced from the study of three assembly buildings of the early modern age in Venice - theatre, film, music and theory provide insight into dramaturgical theory and practice - extensive visits to 18 international case studies offer new perspectives on contemporary architecture - the book ends with a systematic presentation of the dramaturgy of space and its means and parameters in architectural design\"--Page 4 of cover.

Mies van der Rohe : the built work
This essential and comprehensive Mies monograph focuses in its analysis on Mies' design intentions: it reconstructs the buildings in their orginal state, examines them from the present day persepctive and rediscovers the inspiring architecture of a great modern master. The book presents eighty of Mies' works in chronological order. Approximately thirty of these works are analyzed in detail in three parts. In the first part, the construction is documented in its built state; for this all the ground plans were redrawn by the author. The second part outlines the changes to the buildings and the third part develops the results of this investigation with regard to their relevance to the contemporary view of Mies' work.

Walter Gropius
\"As founder of the Bauhaus school, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) is one of the icons of 20th-century architecture. While his early buildings in Pomerania were still strongly marked by his teacher Peter Behrens, after an expressionistic phase focused on handicraft, he ultimately arrived at geometric abstraction. During the entire period he collaborated with other architects, founding the collective known as \"The Architects Collaborative\" in the US. This comprehensive monograph documents all 74 of the known buildings by Gropius that were realized, including many early works which he never publicized; but it also critically examines his unbuilt projects. The book is illustrated with new photographs by the author, historical figures, and with as-new plans drawn by the author\"-- Provided by publisher.

Hans Scharoun : buildings and projects
Hans Scharoun is one of the most important architects of the 20th century; as a proponent of organic architecture, he created unconventional and imaginative buildings which adapt to users' needs in a dynamic way. His oeuvre includes family residences and housing estates but also encompasses the German embassy in Brazil, and urban icons such as the Berlin Philharmonie. The book, a cooperation with Baukunstarchiv (the architecture archive) of the Akademie der Kèunste, Berlin, documents the entire range of known completed buildings by Scharoun, including, for the first time, early works in East Prussia. The specially taken photographs by Carsten Krohn, together with the historic photographs and plans from the Hans-Scharoun-Archive offer a new overview of this expressive organic architecture.
