Product Description
COOP HIMMELB(L)AU s projects include recent urban structures
like the BMW Welt, Munich (2001 07), the Musée des
Confluences, Lyon (2001 10), and the European Central Bank,
Frankfurt (2003 11). These and many others are presented
through photographs, renderings, planning materials and
sketches and offer the reader a look at realized structures as
well as construction projects that are still in the planning
stages. Texts from Jeffrey Kipnis, Sylvia Lavin and Peter
Noever highlight the relationships between the specific work
of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and architecture, history, literature,
film and art. Project-specific and programmatic texts from
COOP HIMMELB(L)AU offer an in-depth look at the conceptual
practices of the architects, whose work is some of the most
innovative and important of our time.
