Comprehensive monograph
Helmut Jahn is world-famous for buildings like
Frankfurter Messeturm (1985-1991), Sony Center with the Bahntower,
Berlin (1993-2000), airport Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi (1995-2005) and the
Veer Towers, Las Vegas (2006-2010). In a luxury edition this book shows
Rainer Viertlböck the increasing international reach of Helmut Jahn's
oeuvre, starting in Chicago and the United States in the 1980s and
expanding initially to South Africa, then to Europe, with the focus on
Germany, and from there via the Middle East to China, Singapore, Japan
and Korea.
The photos are combined with a comprehensive collection of
Helmut Jahn's impressive design sketches. They provide inspiring
insights into the development of the buildings and the underlying design
process. The drawings present the buildings in their overall context of
urban surroundings, the structural features, the proportions and ideas
on the materials, not to forget just as clearly outlines of the
engineering required for the facade technology and construction work.
An
essay by architecture historian Franz Schultz explains the meaning of
Jahn's oeuvre within the contemporary architecture. An text by Helmut
Jahn himself comments the philosophy behind his buildings.
