Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Ernst May wurde vor allem durch das »Neue Frankfurt«, die wegweisenden Wohnsiedlungen, die er von 1925 bis 1930 realisierte, bekannt. Doch sein Einfluss auf die Architektur und Städteplanung der Moderne ist sehr viel weitreichender. Der Band begleitet die erste Ausstellung, die sich explizit dem Gesamtwerk von Ernst May widmet. Mehr als ein Dutzend Essays beleuchten die verschiedenen Aspekte seines Lebens und seiner Arbeit. Sie beschäftigen sich mit seiner Zeit in Schlesien, der Sowjetunion und Ostafrika, ebenso wie mit seinem Wirken nach der Rückkehr in das Deutschland der Nachkriegszeit. Mit Hunderten von Fotos, Originalplänen, Zeichnungen, Modellen und einem umfassenden Werkverzeichnis wird erstmals ein vollständiger Überblick über die enorme Bandbreite seines Schaffens gezeigt. Peter Cachola Schmal, Architekt, ist seit 2006 Direktor des Deutschen Architekturmuseums in Frankfurt am Main.
