The work of the German architect Oswald Mathias Ungers has grown into an oeuvre which includes seminal buildings such as the Galeria and the German Museum of Architecture in Frankfurt. In this book Ungers focuses on contemporary attempts to face the problems created by de-industrialization, particularly on the peripheries of cities. As case studies, he takes eight recent projects, most of which were created for cities in the former East Germany, and uses these to illustate the variety of problems and conditions facing the architect working on major planning schemes of this kind. The book is part of a series offering leading contemporary architects an opportunity to publish their reflections on the state of architecture today and to analyze their own projects.
