描述

The Elbphilharmonie is the new landmark of Hamburg and already an icon of contemporary architecture. In this book, Herzog & de Meuron document their project: Extensive archive material, plans and photographs make the development process of the construction of the century from the first sketch to the varied challenges of planning and realization to the finished building clear and comprehensible.

The dialogue between historic brick basement and contemporary glass crystal, the combination of different uses, the development of the spectacular large concert hall, the design of a public plaza for the population are just a few of the many aspects that make the building attractive.
