Junius Wilhelm Opatz Architectural Guide Frankfurt 1980-1989

Now it's time for the 1980s! The fourth volume in the popular series on Frankfurt architecture in the second half of the 20th century, like the volumes on the 1950s to 1970s, showcases ten special buildings from the recent past. Contrary to expectations, Frankfurt architecture from this decade offers a wide range of high-quality buildings: from belatedly implemented plans from the 1970s to technoid engineering designs to postmodernism peppered with architectural references, as well as an architectural highlight from the Taunus, the city's affluent suburbs. The unmissable twin towers of Deutsche Bank are joined by museum buildings, a large residential complex, houses for children and students, one house where Jewish culture is lived, and another where flora can be seen thriving. In addition, an architect who was then at the beginning of a great career presents his visionary designs of yesteryear, an architecture professor professes her love for the furniture of a great architect, and a design professor teaching in Munich sheds light on the design scene of this decade, which is underrated in terms of design issues.
