Features: This book reviews the recent architectural works of Germany's most successful architectural firm—Von Gekon-Marg Architecture Firm— whose architectural works are highlighted by their concise and clear architectural language. The architectural functionality is fully satisfied, the architectural purpose is achieved, clients are satisfied, and owners' opinions are respected (Dante M. Sdenne). Since its founding in 1965, Von Gekon-Marg Partners has not only become Germany's most successful architectural firm but also holds a place in the global modern construction industry. This new collection of works includes the urban architectural designs of Von Gekon-Marg Partners in recent years. It includes the Bucharest 2000 and Hannover 2000 Expo, the new Leipzig Trade Center and the Seoul National Museum in Seoul, as well as the airport design plans for Düsseldorf and Zurich, the German-Japanese Center in Hamburg, the Berlin Parliamentary Office, and other works designed between 1995 and 1997. These are all outstanding works of various styles designed by Von Gekon-Marg Partners. As Meind Von Gekon 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.
