As one of the most famous German architectural practices,
Stuttgart-based Lederer & Ragnarsdottir & Oei (LRO) has
distinguished itself through dramatic, sweeping facades and unique
forms that have had wide popular appeal but haven't always adhered
to what is fashionable. Their statement is clear and iconoclastic:
"Creating a locality is absolutely crucial to our projects. To do
that, architecture does not have to be reinvented by force.
Instead, we try to learn from the long tradition of building
without falling into historicism." Of their numerous successful
projects, the best known are Darmstadt's State Theatre, the EVS
Central Administration in Stuttgart and the Salem International
College in Uberlingen. This copiously illustrated volume, the
second in the "Portfolio" series, introduces a cross-section of
work with commentary by writer and architecture critic Falk Jaeger.
