The Work: Architecture, Urban Design, Drawings and Sculptures

by Rob Krier

As an architect, urban planner and sculptor, Rob Krier has created a multifaceted oeuvre which is presented here in a comprehensive manner for the first time. After graduating, Krier first worked with O. M. Ungers and Frei Otto before setting up his own studios in Vienna and Berlin. He later taught at the Vienna University of Technology from 1976 to 1998 and as a visiting professor at Yale University in 1986. Drawing on a wealth of historical models and archetypal patterns, he developed new typologies of streets and public squares as an architect and urban planner, and was responsible for numerous urban development projects throughout Europe. These included the perimeter block development on Ritterstrasse for the IBA in Berlin, the residential complex on Breitenfurter Strasse in Vienna, the Kirchsteigfeld district in Potsdam, and numerous projects in the Netherlands.

کتاب مجموعه آثار مجسمه ساز، معمار و طراح شهری برجسته؛ راب کریر. کمتر کتابی مثل این پیدا میشه که یک هنرمند خودش در این وسعت بیش از 1000 صفحه ای، مجموعه آثارش رو جمع کنه و درباره روند خلقشون، صفحه ای توضیح بده. خصوصا برای افرادی که دوست دارند فرآیند آفرینش هنری رو درک کنند میتونه مفید باشه، برای من حتی ورق زدن آثار خیلی جالب بود، اگه هم تمام توضیحات رو نخونده باشم.
