Josef Paul Kleihues: Works 1966-1980

By Josef Kleihues and Andrea Mesecke

"Josef Paul Kleihues (1933-2004) was one of the most prolific architects in postwar Germany, famous both as the planning director of the International Building Exhibition Berlin in 1984, and for his design of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. This first volume presents projects from prior to 1980, including the highly acclaimed Berlin Sanitation Department and the Neukolln Hospital. Even in these early works, his problem-solving approach is evident and vividly demonstrates his readiness to echo traditional approaches to modern architecture and initiate contemporary impulses that sought to move beyond them." "The book was designed by Kleihues himself, creating something of a unique authorized autobiography."--BOOK JACKET.
