This latest edition about the German mega-firm J.S.K. Architects gives a status account of the manifold activities of the leading, internationally-engaged engineering and architectural company. Vision and Function focuses on the broad-based firm's designs for high-rise buildings, train stations, and hotels. In addition, this book also features documentation of many projects that were still in the planning stages in previous editions and which now stand as finished buildings. These include the recently completed Frankfurter Welle and Stilwerk Design Center in Dusseldorf, each of which maintains the firm's principle of balancing innovation and practical realization. Essays by Helmut Joos, Eckart John von Freyend, and Enrico Santifaller.
