Hans Scharoun: Buildings in Berlin
The importance of Hans Scharoun (1893-1972) as one of the leading figures in
the Modern movement has only recently been acknowledged. His use of
non-rectilinear geometry in plan and creation of expressive flowing spaces
define his place in architectural history. Two of his public buildings in
Berlin, Germany, the Philharmonic concert hall (1963) and the State Library
(1979), are photographed for the first time in three dimensions and presented on
three View-Master® reels. Included in the packet is Scharoun's own conceptual
description of the Philharmonic, and notes by Peter Blundell Jones discussing
the buildings in the context of the architect's career. This publication was
supported by a grant from The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine
Arts.
This set includes 3 View-Master® reels in a jewel case.
