Coop Himmelb(l)au : Between the Light

COOP HIMMELB(L)AU's projects include recent urban structures like the BMW Welt, Munich (2001??????07), the Mus????e des Confluences, Lyon (2001??????10), and the European Central Bank, Frankfurt (2003??????11).

These and many others are presented through photographs, renderings, planning materials and sketches and offer the reader a look at realized structures as well as construction projects that are still in the planning stages.

Texts from Jeffrey Kipnis, Sylvia Lavin and Peter Noever highlight the relationships between the specific work of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and architecture, history, literature, film and art.

Project-specific and programmatic texts from COOP HIMMELB(L)AU offer an in-depth look at the conceptual practices of the architects, whose work is some of the most innovative and important of our time.
