Hans Kollhoff: Kollhoff and Timmermann Architects

Quick Overview

This volume is a complete monograph on the work of German architect Hans Kollhoff (b. 1946) and his partner, Helga Timmerman (b. 1953), with whom he has collaborated since 1984. It presents 100 buildings and projects completed by Kollhoff and his firm since the 1970s, beginning with his Project for an Analagous City of 1976 and including competitions, office and multiuse buildings, banks, apartment complexes, and urban planning. Following the introduction are 100 projects presented chronologically, including recent work in Berlin, such as the DaimlerChrysler High-rise Building (2000), the Extension of the Pergamon Museum (2000), and the renovation of the Former Seat of the Reichsbank for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1999). Kollhoff began his teaching and investigations into the city during the postmodern debates of the 1970s, when he studied with O.M. Ungers at Cornell University. Since that time he has focused on large-scale architecture and its role in preserving the urban landscape, striving to discover the essence in traditional architecture, and to build a new tradition from it. This book is the first and only publication to include a complete selection of Kollhoff's work: 100 projects organized in chronological order, from his first theoretical project of 1976 to projects completed in 2003. The monograph includes a detailed critical essay that gives the reader excellent background on the architectural debates ongoing in the 1970s and 1980s, at the time that Kollhoff was forming his approach and his practice, as well as a summary of German urban planning of the postwar period.
