Hans Scharoun: Buildings and Projects

A pioneer of modern architecture

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 Künste,
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.
