Eberswalde Library: Herzog and de Meuron (Architecture Landscape Urbanism #3)

The Eberswalde Library has been compared to a Warhol painting. Designed in collaboration with artist Thomas Ruff, it carries the idea of a pictorial facade further than any other project by Herzog & de Meuron. Combining elements that have long been deemed incompatible -- minimalism and ornament, purity and baroque fullness, concrete box and pictorial facade, space and surface -- the building challenges the conventions of modernism.Mack, Gerhard is the author of 'Eberswalde Library: Herzog and de Meuron (Architecture Landscape Urbanism #3)' with ISBN 9781902902081 and ISBN 1902902084.
