About this Item

Minor shelf wear, front cover has an ownership stamp, binding tight, glossy pages are clean and unmarked. Solid forms of construction signify permanence and secureness. And durability suggests a long life span ? and low maintenance costs. An alpine chalet by meck architekten, for example, employs solid wood for everything from the load-bearing components to the tabletop. For the design of a residence with cyclopean stonework in Peru, Longhi Architects takes cues from Incan principles. At a new academic building at a university in Mittweida, Georg Bumiller stacks black prefabricated concrete units. The horizontal layering of the stone building envelope at a priory church in Leipzig by Ansgar and Benedikt Schulz emphasizes the material?s sensuous properties. And we also present an exception: the temporary structures at the Expo in Milan.
