Ein gutes Exemplar; Umschlag etwas berieben u. m. minimalen Läsuren. - Englisch. - ... A true child of his time, Schinkel combined a romantic passion with a deep sense of the practical and technical. From 1826, influenced by British industrial building, he developed a revolutionary new brick architecture that anticipated modernism in its rejection of historical precedent and its use of structure. And equally forward-looking was his successful state-sponsored scheme to improve the design of manufactured goods emerging from the new Prussian industries. This survey of Schinkel's extraordinary career is enriched by photographs of his buildings and art objects and reproductions of many of his brilliant drawings and paintings, all accompanied by detailed commentary. The book serves as the catalogue for an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
