Summary:
This book, accompanying an exhibition at the Deutsches Architektur Museum, is an attempt to define post-modernism in terms of what architecture is capable of achieving and what it must achieve. While the exhibition primarily shows buildings that are outstanding for their exceptionally high quality, the theoretical part of the catalogue provides a mouthpiece for critical voices. Both opponents and advocates of post-modernist theory and practice are given a forum to air their views: architects, architectural theorists, arts critics, and academics.

Summary:
The Classroom shows how furniture designers from the late nineteenth century to the present have strived to enliven the classroom experience for children, telling for the first time the history of this neglected area of furniture design. The book is based on the collection of the VS school museum in Tauberbischofsheim, which houses a unique collection of school furniture from Germany and abroad. Through this collection, it draws out the history of educational theory and school architecture over the past hundred years, tracing the ascent of a child-centered approach to education and attendant developments in design, as well as such topics as the use of propaganda in Soviet- and Nazi-era schools. Chairs, desks, classrooms and entire schools by Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Jean-Baptiste Mathon, Jean Prouvé, Eero + Eliel Saarinen and Bruno Taut are abundantly illustrated and examined. The Classroom looks back over this history and looks forward to possible future developments.
