Baukultur

Spiegel gesellschaftlichen Wandels

Werner Durth, Paul Sigel

In this book Werner Durth and Paul Sigel investigate various stages and trends in architecture and urban planning over the last century. Ranging from the growth and redevelopment of cities to forms of housing, life concepts, and guidelines for a supposedly better future, they describe discourse and controversy, positions and projects.

Before the background of changing values and quality standards, aspects and forms of national self-portrayal are particularly interesting. The authors outline experimental movements and decision-making processes using examples of capital city planning, as well as participation in World and Building Exhibitions.
