Ortner & Ortner: 3 Buildings for European Culture

Laurids Ortner

Synopsis:
The cultural buildings of the architectural firm Ortner & Ortner are classical in the sense of "fitting" in their environment -- forms from which nothing must be taken away and to which nothing can be added. This richly illustrated volume presents three major projects by the architectural team of Manfred and Laurids Ortner: a state and university library in Dresden; The Zurich Schauspielhaus, a theater and cultural center; and The Museum Complex in Vienna. This book includes numerous photographs of models, plans, and computer simulations, and accompanying commentaries written by Laurids Ortner that illustrate the team's unifying architectural vision.
