With their elementary \"constructedness\", clean proportions and elegant interplay of volumes in the urban space, these projects embody a permanence without affectation and fashionable elements and provide a meaningful and unassuming background to everyday life. In doing so, they not only answer the pressing question of the ecology of coexistence, but also provide a benchmark within our heterogeneous design culture. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhotos by Hélène Binet, David Schreyer and Stefan Müller as well as historical illustrations accompany the plea for a masterful 'middle way' in architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eArchitecture of permanence, without affectation and modish elements \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThree projects by Max Dudler, Franz Riepl and Stephen Sergison \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhoto spreads by Hélène Binet, David Schreyer and Stefan Müller \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783035626506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Albert Kirchengast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52379404402869,"sku":"9783035626506","price":41.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a18456b3-6537-4e9f-be4a-1d58595517e4.jpg?v=1774372700","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/continued-building-on-city-settlement-village-a-plea-9783035626506","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
