About this title

Synopsis

This volume demonstrates the clear, simple, beauty born of Ackermann and Partners' aesthetic approach to construction and design.

From the Publisher

"Ackermann's buildings are identical with his techniques: they are simple, clear, and direct, free of all circuitousness. If one attempts to add anything to them or subtract anything from them, one soon realizes just how unimprovable, simple, good, and aesthetic his buildings, his lectures, and his writings are. His success as an architect, researcher, and explorer is of immeasurable stature." --Frei Otto, Laudatio Stuttgart University

"The quality of the architecture is the outcome . . . of the imaginative use of industrial materials and the creativity with which technological forms are subject to continual development and constructional refinement." -- Gottfried Knapp, Suddeutsche Zeitung
