Koch + Partner: Architects and Urban Planners 1970-2000 (German and English Edition) - Softcover

Koch + Partner recently made the headlines when they won the competition to design the new Terminal 2 at Munich Airport but the architectural community has long been aware of this office. Their architecture does not consist of singular, extravagant constructions but is characterised by buildings which harmonise with the townscape, expertly serving their purpose. Their forms are clear and calm, blending with the existing structures and simultaneously enhancing them. This present book documents the work of this interdisciplinary team over the previous three decades. The full range of their work is considered - from extensive urban planning projects to the realisation of multistorey buildings. It also reveals how a sense of team spirit and partnership can be used to the advantage of not only private and public clients but also the user.
