With the 100th anniversary of Mönckebergstraße in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the public was reminded in 2009 of who built the large office buildings in this remarkable shopping street. Franz Bach had a decisive influence on their architecture. Bach also worked as a master builder in various other places in the city. This biography, is the first one about Franz Bach. It traces the extraordinary life of this man: his talent, his architecture and his entrepreneurial spirit are highlighted as well as his social and cultural commitment as a citizen of Hamburg, who built a memorial to Heinrich Heine and Gottfried Semper and was one of the donors of the Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung in 1907. Franz Bach's life story is at the same time an exciting journey through Hamburg's architectural history in the Wilhelmine Empire.

The date of May 13, 2011 marked the 100th anniversary of the inauguration of today's main building of the University of Hamburg on Edmund-Siemers-Allee. On the same day, the program begun in 1999 to name its seven lecture halls after outstanding scholars expelled during the Nazi era was completed. This book is therefore being published on these two occasions. In addition to an introduction to the multifaceted history of the building, the volume collects portraits of the seven namesakes of the lecture halls: biographical and werkanalytische approaches to the philosopher Ernst Cassirer, the art historian Erwin Panofsky, the German scholar Agathe Lasch, the mathematician Emil Artin, the lawyer Magdalene Schoch, the international law expert and peace researcher Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the social economist Eduard Heimann. Together with the "Stolpersteinen" (Stumbling Stones), which were laid in front of the domed building in 2010, the auditorium appointments form an ensemble through which the main building represents the University of Hamburg in a special way as a central place of remembrance.

Este libro contiene un estudio, casi único en su género, sobre la ciudad portuaria más importante del país, Guayaquil, en las primeras cuatro décadas del presente siglo, es decir, en un período crítico, y al mismo tiempo innovador, de la historia socioeconómica de esta ciudad. Su objetivo es analizar la evolución de la arquitectura urbana de la metrópoli costera del Ecuador, en un contexto espacial, geográfico y social. En sus páginas cobra vida no solo la arquitectura, sino la sociedad guayaquileña misma, con toda su jerarquización socio-económica; con la ayuda del censo de 1931, se efectúa un estudio del barrio y la parroquia durante estos años, y se cierra el libro destacando las tendencias generales de la evolución del espacio arquitectural y urbano de Guayaquil en estas décadas. La autora, Marie S. Bock, geógrafa francesa, es graduada en la Universidad de Toulouse-Le Mirail, y la presente investigación la realizó bajo la dirección de Jean-Paul Deler. La edición y publicación de este libro es un esfuerzo conjunto de la Corporación Editora Nacional y del Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos, IFEA.

"The moralistic tone of Brutalism was persuasive, so too were the dramatic forms which followed in its wake. While the movement was European in its genesis its influence was far reaching, Australian Brutalist architecture primarily followed European propositions and built works in North America and Japan. Some Australian examples were deeply based on the building ethic of Brutalism and in certain cases this was extended to embrace the urban considerations; others drew primarily on the visual attributes" -- Back cover.
