Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. The architect is at all times also an artist. How otherwise would he be able to tame the three-dimensionality of space and subdue the urges of physics and structural mechanics with the creations of his fantasy? This creativity is however mostly restricted purely to its own field. Rob Krier, born in 1938 in Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, is an exception. Since the beginning of his career in construction, he has always seen his love of art as a vocationone which he nurtures parallel to his work.In his Pictorial Journal 19721975, Rob Krier describes how his twin passion for fine art and architecture emerged. The text is restricted to a minimum. The pictures are less colourful, more composed. The "daily scribbles" dominate mainly sketches and drawings of people and animals, buildings, landscapes, objects and drawings of people and animals, buildings, landscapes, objects and also fantasies. The volume is rounded off with a detailed resume. The architect is at all times also an artist.

Since the beginning of his career inconstruction, he has always seen his love of art as a vocation onewhich he nurtures parallel to his work. Fine art should stand in dialoguewith architecture and it is Kriers ambition to have iconographicthemes brought into the latter, so that they might speak equallyto both the occupants of a building and to bystanders, movingthem to thoughtful reflection.In his Pictorial Journal 19541971, Rob Krier describs in compellingwords and pictures how he came to have a twin passion forfine art and architecture and told of his grammar school years inEchternach, his studies in Munich and his first taste of professionallife with Oswald Mathias Ungers and Frei Otto. In his Pictorial Journal19541971, which covers the period of Kriers work as a lecturerand assistant to Prof. Johannes Uhl at Stuttgart University, the textis restricted to a minimum. The pictures are less colourful, morecomposed. The daily scribbles dominate mainly sketches anddrawings of people and animals, buildings, landscapes, objects andalso fantasies. The volume is rounded off with a detailed resume.Born and raised in Luxembourg, Krier moved to Vienna after havingstudied in Munich and worked for Oswald Mathias Ungers andFrei Otto. After teaching posts in Stuttgart and Lausanne, he wasa professor at the Technische Universitaet in Vienna from 1976 to1998 and, in 1986, held a guest professorship at Yale University inNew Haven, Mass. Krier has developed urban-design concepts forStuttgart, Vienna, Berlin, Amiens, Montpellier, Leeds, Gothenburg,Lodz, Amsterdam, Den Haag and many other cities. Projects withwhich he was first able to translate his vision of a spatial concept,such as Rauchstrasse in Berlin, Breitenfurterstrasse in Vienna orRitterstrasse with Schinkelplatz in Berlin, repeatedly found theirplace in international publications.
