Max Dudler

High-Rise Buildings

This monograph continues Niggli’s series of publications on the work of Swiss architect Max Dudler, one of Europe’s masters. Featured here are four of Dudler’s high-rises, which show his brilliant approach to applying modernist ideas in the context of big-city architecture. In a Frankfurt neighborhood near downtown and the banking district, Dudler refurbished two high-rises located next to each other, fusing the structures into an urban ensemble which epitomizes unity and the quiet elegance of its surroundings. This publication also looks at Dudler’s two high-rise projects in Zurich: the esteemed Sunrise Tower (the former IBM building) and the Hagenholzstrasse ensemble. In words and stunning pictures, here are more reasons to admire Dudler’s work.

Enterprising Architecture

Business Park Nieuw-Vennep Zuid

Johanna Gunther

This book focuses on the Netherlands’s Business Park Nieuw-Vennep Zuid Nieuw-Vennep Zuid, a landmark project designed by the Podium for Architecture Haarlemmermeer en Schipol. This is a business park with a vision: an elaborate urban development plan, an ambitious landscape design and a first-rate architectural execution. Substantive articles throw light on the relations between local and national interests and the influence of these interests on the evolution of the working landscape. The conclusion – that architecture and entrepreneurship in no way have to rule each other out – is relevant in any setting where a business park might be built, in any part of the world. Complete with drawings, schematics, plans, renderings and many photographs of the finished project.
