Hardcover. Condizione: New. Abandoned theme parks, empty and unfinished tower blocks and mothballed luxury hotels are among the exhibits in this collection of architectural failures.

Hardback. Condizione: New. As soon as it leaves the protective environment of drafting boards, specialized computer programs, and sophisticated 3-D models, every architectural project is inevitably forced to face the circumstances of real life. In most cases, it's a relatively painless experience, it nevertheless progresses without major problems - but sometimes things go wrong and it fails miserably! What remains are unfulfilled expectations and broken dreams of overly optimistic architects, owners, and clients. With a tongue in cheek approach, this book presents a selection of the most spectacular architectural flops from the 20th century to the present. Each project is described briefly and its circumstances are analysed and documented via photos. The author is not aiming to uncover faults and condemn failed projects but rather to contemplate on how difficult and nearly impossible it is to predict the future of any type of endeavour.

Large 8vo, 187pp, colour illustrations. A very good hardback copy.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sobald es den geschützen Raum der Zeichenbretter, spezialisierten Computerprogramme und raffinierten 3D-Modelle verlässt, wird jedes Architekturvorhaben unweigerlich mit den Gegebenheiten der realen Welt konfrontiert. In den meisten Fällen geschieht dies nicht unbedingt reibungslos, jedoch ohne größere Probleme - manchmal geht es aber auch richtig schief! Zurück bleiben enttäuschte Erwartungen und zerschmetterte Träume überoptimistischer Architekten, Bauherren und Auftraggeber.Mit einem Augenzwinkern wird hier eine Auswahl der spektakulärsten Architekturflops vom Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bis heute vorgestellt. Jedes Projekt wird kurz beschrieben, die Umstände des Scheiterns analysiert und anhand von Fotos ausführlich dokumentiert. Der Leser wird zu monumentalen Geisterstädten in Asien, den grotesken Überbleibseln von Freizeitparks, beispielsweise in den USA, und einer Atomzentrale auf der Krim geführt. Es geht dem Autor nicht darum, Fehler zu finden und gescheiterte Projekte zu verdammen, sondern darüber nachzudenken, wie schwierig bis unmöglich es für jegliche Art von Vorhaben ist, die eigene Zukunft vorherzusagen.
