Description
Product Description This photographic and documentation project analyzes the work of prominent Slovakian architects of Eastern modernism in a photographic documentary and an “oral history”. It contains brilliant photos of a past yet unforgettable style period, and background information on the work methods and creative processes in the planning practices of the time. The excellent photos in this book convey the flair of an era in which planning was obviously the product of a collective vision, more so than is the case today. The book addresses architects and all those who are fascinated by the aesthetic of the time. Review "...

Falter Nr. 11, 14.3.2008 "... Nach langer Zeit der minutiösen und intensiven Recherche schnürten die drei Ostmodernisten ihre unbändigbare Euphorie in ein Buch, das dieser Tage im Springer Verlag erschienen ist. Der prächtige Bildband gibt Einblick in die heldenhafte Baumeisterkunst der Slowakei ..." Der Standard 3.11.2007 About the Author Herta Hurnaus was born in Linz.
