Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Unexpected insights into the long process of designing the Hexenhaus, one of the most iconic buildings of the late 20th centuryBetween 1985 and 2002, British New Brutalist architects Alison (1928-93) and Peter Smithson (1923-2003) transformed a modest vernacular cottage into one of the most remarkable residences of the late 20th century: the Hexenhaus. Hidden in the forests outside of Hessen, Germany, the "Witch's House" was the residence of Axel Bruchhaeuser, owner of the furniture company Tecta, which had its factory nearby. The Smithsons completely redefined the relationship between the house and its surrounding landscape by means of more than 20 small additions, extractions, satellite buildings, furnishings and alternative routes. During this decades-long process, the couple kept close correspondence with Bruchhaeuser, as evidenced by this collection of 99 handwritten postcards, collected here for the first time. Following Walther Koenig's publication of Hexenhaus: A House for a Man and a Cat (2021), this publication offers a new, intimate perspective on this ambitious project.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Between 1985 and 2002, the British architects Alison and Peter Smithson transformed the Hexenhaus from a modest vernacular cottage to one of the most remarkable houses of the late twentieth century. The architects completely redefined the relationship between the house and its surrounding landscape by means of more than twenty small additions, extractions, satellite buildings, furnishing operations and alternative routes. During this long process, they established a close relationship with their client, the owner of the furniture company Tecta Axel Bruchhäuser, who still lives there to this day. Axel is a key figure when it comes to comprehending the house's design. As Peter Smithson wrote: 'To work with such a person is to receive notions, strongly felt and expressed, which are the beginning of a spatial transformation. Each gives what the other needs.' 220 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783753309002
