For english version please scroll down: Auf der Suche nach dem Erhabenen in der Autobahnarchitektur zwischen den Alpen und Neapel Autobahnen sind die größten von Menschen gebauten architektonischen Strukturen. Sie verbinden Länder, Kontinente und überwinden natürliche und politische Grenzen, erschließen abgelegene Gebiete für Handel, Wirtschaft und Tourismus. Zwischen den Alpen und Neapel verbinden Autobahnen hochkomplexe topographische Gegebenheiten mit urbanen Ballungsräumen. Sie folgen dabei antiken Handelswegen oder den Straßen der Grand Tour der Romantiker des 19. Jahrhunderts, die auf der Suche nach arkadischen, erhabenen Landschaften waren, wie sie von de Loutherbourg, Claude und Turner gemalt worden waren. Die Erfahrung des Erhabenen in unberührter Natur war einer der Höhepunkte der Grand Tour. Heute rasen wir auf Autobahnen, über Brücken und Auffahrten, durch Galerien und Tunnel - die mühsame, mehrtägige Reise früherer Zeiten schrumpft auf wenige Stunden. Diese Reiseform zeitigt eine neue Form des Sublimen, die der gleichförmigen sich vor dem Auge des Fahrers entfaltenden betonierten Struktur der Autobahn in der Landschaft. Sue Barr (Professorin für Fotografie, Architectural Association, London) ist eine von brutalistischer Architektur und Beton besessene Fotografin. Mit Ihrer Großformatkamera folgte Sie von den Alpen bis nach Neapel und fotografierte die bislang zumeist ignorierte Architektur der Autobahn. -- Searching for the sublime in motorway architecture between the Alps and Naples otorways are architectural megastructures in the landscape, crossing nations, natural or political borders making previously remote places accessible to development, tourism and trade. Between the Alps and Naples motorways connect highly complex topographies and urban conditions, often retracing antique trade paths and routes taken by northern Romantics on the Grand Tour, searching for arcadian and sublime landscapes as painted by de Loutherbourg, Claude and Turner. The experience of the sublime in untamed nature became a highlight on the Grand Tour. Landscapes that once took days to cross, today we speed through via motorways over concrete bridges, ramps, through galleries and tunnels. But with this speed comes a new accelerated and simultaneously calm sublime of concrete motorway megastructures. Sue Barr (Head of Photography, Architectural Association, London) is a photographer obsessed by concrete and Brutalist architecture. Following historical 18th-century routes from the Swiss Alps to Naples, she used a large format camera to photograph these extraordinary and ignored architectural megastructures. The pictures in her first monographic publication, document the ominous beauty of motorway architecture, within landscapes and urban spaces through carefully constructed photographs

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
