Von Gerkan, Marg and Partner was founded in 1965 by Meinhard von Gerkan and Volkwin Marg, and has not only become the most successful architectural firm in Germany but also belongs to those offices which are defining the face of contemporary architecture across the globe. Now all seven of their monographs are being published in a softcover, small-format edition which will be presented in a slipcase. The low price will make their works readily accessible to students and will provide a complete overview of the buildings and projects from the years 1966-1999. Included are all major projects such as the airports at Berlin-Tegel, Algiers, Stuttgart and Hamburg, the new trade fair at Leipzig, the National Museum Seoul, The German School in Beijing, exhibition halls at Hanover and Rimini, the railway station at Berlin-Spandau, the new Dresdner Bank building at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and the Auditoria at the University of Chemnitz. These and many more examples show the diversity and aesthetic quality of the office's architecture which proves to be art with a purpose: a vital part of Germany's architectural history, an expression of contemporary building and a vision for architecture in the years to come.
