Egon Eiermann influenced postwar German architecture to an extent unrivalled by any other architect. His rich architectural oeuvre is characterized by striking transparency, sensitive response to materials, high artistic standards, and rigorous attention to design quality--down to the very last detail. Eiermann also created a number of successful furniture designs, including his famous drawing table stand, the SE 18 folding chair, and the E 10 rattan lounge chair, now known as the Eiermann chair. Among Eiermann's best-known buildings are the IBM headquarters in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, the Olivetti corporate center in Frankfurt am Main, the former high-rise office building for Members of the German Bundestag in Bonn, and the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ged'chtniskirche in Berlin. Eiermann was also a highly respected educator and architectural innovator. During his tenure as a professor of architecture at the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe, he influenced an entire generation of young architects. This volume considers his entire life's work.

Text in English and German. The German Pavilions were the actual event at the 1958 Brussels World Fair, because what appeared as an oasis of modesty among the typical exhibition fairground of bizarre sensationalism was precisely what would not have been expected of economic miracle Germany: no showing off or pomposity, just architecture distinguished by its reticence and the refined simplicity of the architectural resources, and by the happy combination of men who created it, all so similar in the nature of their thinking: Egon Eiermann and Sep Ruf as architects, Walter Rossow as landscape and garden planner, and Hans Schwippert responsible for the exhibition programme. The building plot was a park-like site on which the architects placed a sequence of eight pavilions of different sizes; eight pavilions on a square ground plan, linked by bridge-style walkways, together surrounding an inner courtyard -- a peaceful garden amidst the loud hurly-burly: introverted and open at the same time, it did allow visitors to look through the linking bridges into the outside world around them. The pavilions themselves: bright and light of weight -- correctly reflecting the concept of a 'pavilion': raised off the ground by a plinth of clay-yellow brick, giving an impression of floating; floors that showed outside as black bands, holding all the component parts together as a binding element; in front of them was a network of white-painted steel tubes, forming a kind of filigree epidermis; wooden floors in red pine matchboarding, reminiscent of classical sailing yachts; blinds set at the outer edge of the ceilings that when lowered transformed the open impression, thrusting deep into the depth of the space, into a closed, cubic impression; architecture (and combined with this an exhibition concept) that was not a 'political demonstration', but showed a 'humane mentality', about which Le Figaro appositely remarked: The Germans have created an exhibition of exemplary lucidity, treated delicately and with an entirely Parisian grace.
