Summary:

"By designing architecture which is perfect in finish, function and financial accountability, the Hamburg-based architects Bothe Richter Teherani are driving a wedge in the complacency of the branch. Their plans for the car showroom Car & Driver guaranteed that they gained recognition beyond the borders of Germany, not only for their attention to fine detail but also for constructions which are impressive in size, emotional and visual impact. Their style is provocative and sometimes controversial; it took the city of Cologne 10 years to come to terms with BRT's glass crane structures, predestined to become the heart of the Rhine and Ruhr valleys. Even now, the heated discussions on BRT's latest project to build Europe's highest building in the waters of Hamburg's harbour has just broken out. Their labyrinthine yet systematic concepts to maximize space in office buildings, the futuristic connotations of ufos, space shuttles and zeppelins in their designs, their treatment of urban spaces and focal points of public life are documented in this volume. Designed by the graphic designers COMA, this publication takes a look at buildings for offices, industry, mobility, leisure, and towns, and the accompanying essays and text contributions investigate the aims of the architects which lie somewhere between pragmatism and vision, between fine detail and the greater complexity of urban life."--Publisher.
