Summary

"Taking the German contribution to the Architecture Biennial in SEW Paulo as its starting point, this catalogue presents contemporary German export architecture. An increasing number of German architects are Ready for Take-Off - ready to engage in global business. In this publication we present in detail projects undertaken by selected German architecture offices abroad; the work of each office is also shown by means of an already complete building in Germany. Introductory essays by architectural historians, architects and engineers place the phenomenon of architecture export in context, and interviews with international architects familiarize the reader with how contemporary German architecture and German architects are perceived abroad."--BOOK JACKET.
