Full Description
Here, one of Germany's most significant architects is seen through the eyes of one of the most renowned architectural photographers of the present day. Karljosef Schattner is one of Germany's most notable architects. He has been awarded many prizes for his work including the Great prize from the BDA, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Honorary Fellow of the Incorporation of Architects of Scotland 1996. In Germany, his name is inextricably linked to the residential town of Eichstatt in Bavaria where he worked from 1957-1991 as town architect. The architecture of his buildings and renovations is characterized by the use of contrasting forms, materials and methods of construction bringing about a sophisticated symbiosis of the old and the new. Klaus Kinold is a photographer who desires "to show architecture as it is", and in this spirit he has spent his career capturing the most noteworthy buildings of the 20th century on film.
Various exhibitions in Bielefeld, Munich, Rimini and Antwerp secured his international reputation, and his works can now be seen in numerous public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Canadian Center for Architecture, Montreal, the Denver Museum, Denver, and the Musei Comunali, Rimini. This volume searches for - and finds - the correlation between Schattner's architecture and Kinold's photography. Both aspire to an objectivity and directness which allow the essence of architecture to move to the forefront. Yet their inclination towards realism is a far cry from banalization. On the contrary, it permits the quintessence of the object or its image to be revealed.
