Young German Architects

Does contemporary German architecture have anything to offer to the larger architectural community? Can architects born in the 1950s and 1960s produce, so soon into their careers, buildings that deserve international acclaim? Klaus-Dieter Weiss here confronts these questions. The book surveys the architectural practice in Germany, arguing that it is a result of extensive research and critical selection, and exemplifies the new and remarkable tendencies re-emerging in German architecture.
