Abstract

Under the title of Continuity, seven monographs of works by the architect Max Dudler have been assembled in a slipcase. Along with the buildings represented, the volumes address seven subjects pertinent to the European city. The publications which appeared over ten years time thus document in word and image the continuous occupation of the firm with the ongoing building of our cities. The overview that emerges shows how Dudler systematically developed his conceptual approach in conjunction with the relevant thematic perspective of ideas derived from the history of each city. Buildings like the Bewag Haus am Gendarmenmarkt from 1997 - the oldest building documented in the series - still looks as crisp, concrete and current as they did when they were built. Dudler's buildings are the material proof for him of the validity of his insistence on continuity as the essential attitude in dealing with the city - from a material as well as intellectual standpoint.
