This large-format volume portrays thirteen architecture offices in Germany that are innovative and yet already renowned. We are given subjective portraits because the architects themselves present their statements in the book. In this way, the reader receives an informative view into their ideas and their work. The architects permanently move in a field of tension between tradition and visions of the future, and be-tween ecology and cost awareness, whilst also needing to tackle the conflict of reconciling their own creative ideas with the wishes of the developers. The intention is not just to present their architecture and futureplanning, but also their backgrounds and the motivations that bring them to their results. Beyond this, the book also shows how the working methods and possibilities of many architects have decisively changed primarily through introducing new technologies. The volume 'Architects in Germany' gives a broad and quality-packed overview of German contemporary architecture in its complete variety
