Summary

The newest volume of this important annual survey of German architecture takes a look at what the country's architects are doing outside of Germany, and also at recent buildings of high quality inside the country. Essays by leading architectural critics examine recent architectural developments in Europe, Asia and the Americas, make suggestions for ways to increase the profile of German architects abroad, and look back in time to see when, and if, this profile was more prominent. The work of Germany's leading designers is extensively critiqued and illustrated in nearly four hundred color and black and white photographs and drawings. An important volume for students of international architecture, the DAM annual is one of the field's most significant reference works and a stunning example of this country's architectural contributions.
