Features: This book reviews the recent architectural works of Germany's most successful architectural firm—von Gerkan Marg and Partners—whose architectural works are notable for their concise and clear architectural language. The functional requirements of the buildings are fully met, the architectural purpose is achieved, and clients are satisfied while the opinions of the owners are respected (Dante M. Stern). Since its founding in 1965, von Gerkan Marg and Partners has not only become Germany's most successful architectural firm but also holds a significant position in the global modern construction industry. This new collection of works includes the urban architectural projects designed by von Gerkan Marg and Partners in recent years. These include the Bucharest 2000 and Hannover 2000 Expo, the new Leipzig Trade Center and the Korean National Museum in Seoul, as well as the airport design concepts for Düsseldorf and Zurich, the German-Japanese Center in Hamburg, the Berlin Parliamentary Office, and other outstanding works designed by von Gerkan Marg and Partners during the period from 1995 to 1997. These are all exceptional works in various styles designed by von Gerkan Marg and Partners. As Meinhard von Gerkan said, in these designs, "architecture becomes the art of social application," adapting to the responsibility that architects bear for the overall architectural environment while fully reflecting the unique style of each building.
