No defects noted, Includes the orriginal CD Reflect Observed - A Movie by Corinne Ross Interior text and photographs are flawless. Dual language book German and English. For over a century the high-rise office block has been one of the most widespread architectural typologies in the world. Because of standardized requirements for flexibility in the ground plan, there is generally very little design latitude in the interior, and as a rule it is typically only the facade that remains available for any architectonic individualization.

An extremely interesting design alternative has now been developed by Barkow Leibinger for their… Read More
