In the iF ranking, Loewe is among the top 10 German companies awarded
for exceptional design performances. This is a good reason to take a
close look at the design history of the company on the occasion of its
100-year anniversary. The design historian Kilian Steiner distinguishes
three historical phases: The first phase (1923 to 1945) marks the
build-up and destruction of the Loewe brand. In the second phase (1945
to 1985), the focus was on the rebuilding of Loewe and overcoming
numerous changes. The third period from 1985 onwards saw the rise of
Loewe to an internationally renowned design brand. For the first time,
the creative minds in product and communication design who contributed
to
the development of the brand are named and previously unknown details
of the Loewe corporate history are revealed.From
its foundation in 1923 to the invention of the electronic television in 1931, Loewe has evolved into a globally operating
design brand. A unique combination of German engineering, excellence,
exclusive design and sustainability have shaped the brand culture.Search inside on ISSUU.com
We already have the ability to create buildings that are both sustainable and breathtakingly beautiful today – if only we can summon the will do to so. Designed by Werner Sobek with Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel, the "Urban Mining & Recycling" Experimental Unit (UMAR) uses the example of serially manufactured housing to demonstrate the first fully comprehensive application of recyclable materials. All of the elements required to construct the Unit had to be 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable. In order to achieve this goal, every single detail, every product and every structure involved in the project was scrutinised with a critical eye.
Prof. Werner Sobek is the founder of an international group of engineering and design consultancies, offering premium consultancy services for architecture, structures, façades and sustainability. By means of award-winning experimental buildings such as R128, H16, F87, B10 and (most recently) UMAR he studies how new materials, structures and technologies can bring about a radical change of our built environment.

A book not only about a love of design and the designers at DREIMETA, their inspiring and sometimes curious projects, but also a look behind the scenes at the creation of adventurous ideas – the soul and the driver of creation – as well as hunters and collectors, artists and artisans who live their passion. Potterers, farmers, weavers, each an artist in their field, driven by the idea of creating something quite special, right down to the last detail. Pictures, sketches and collages with side notes – an extract from 15 years of hotel design that has had a lasting effect on the sector, along with interesting anecdotes and memories from many of those involved – including "greats" from the hotel industry such as Claus Sendlinger, Kai Hollmann, Christoph Hoffmann and Remo Masala.

Revitalisation of a landmarkFor three years, the architecture photographer HG Esch with impressive images documented the energetic renovation of the HVB-Tower in Munich, which has been the head office of the HypoVereinsbank since 2016. The characteristic exterior of the building, mirroring the sky in accordance with the design idea of the original architects Walther and Bea Betz and whose color is constantly changing with the intensity and incidence of sunlight, was replaced by a technologically pioneering façade construction. It contributes significantly to the new sustainability concept for one of Munich’s landmarks, achieving a significant reduction in energy consumption.A particular challenge for Henn Architekten, HVB Immobilien AG and all others involved in the construction was the visual reconstruction of the distinctive outer appearance of the heritage-protected HVBTower's façade, alongside all the technical innovation.
Single-family houses that set benchmarksWerner Sobek is a researcher, designer and the founder of an internationally active group of planning offices. As an architect and consulting engineer, he has spent many years creating prize-winning experimental buildings to examine how new materials, structures and technologies can radically change our built environment. The single-family houses he has designed (such as R128, H16, Y1 and B10) have set new benchmarks with regard to both technology and aesthetics. This book presents the most important examples of his work from the last two decades.

One House. Energy for many.The Active House B10 is situated in the heart of the famous Weissenhof estate in Stuttgart. It is a research project exploring how innovative materials, constructions and technologies can sustainably improve our built environment. Owing to an ingenious energy concept and self-learning home automation, the building produces twice its energy requirement. The surplus thus gained powers two electric cars and an adjacent building designed by the architect Le Corbusier (since 2006 home to the Weissenhof museum).Prof. Werner Sobek is the founder of a globally active association of planning agencies for architecture, support structure planning, façade planning, sustainability consulting and design. Based on award-winning experimental buildings such as R128, H16, F87 and B10 he analyses how new materials, structures and technologies can radically change our built environment.
For many years, Arno Design (Mirka Nassiri, Claus Neuleib, Peter Haberlander) has stood for spectacular solutions for the design and realisation of trade fair stands, event architecture, showrooms and shops.On the occasion of their 20th anniversary, this publication shows the variety of their creative work for a broad spectrum of customers from the fields of fashion, sport, industry and communication. Many of these firms, such as Mercedes-Benz, Yves Saint Laurent, Lego, Porsche, Sto and Apple, have used Arno Design for many years. In these cases, the developments and design trends can be traced over a longer period of time.The versatility of the office is astounding: besides very clear-cut trade fair stands such as those for Loewe or Grundig, you will also find more opulent, decorative and baroque echoes, for instance as manifested in the booth of Alessandro. This look behind the scenes also includes unrealised competition entries and reveals more about the origins of the designer team.Search inside on ISSUU.com
Airports today are a new building type. They have become a strange combination of transportation centre and shopping mall. Like in a city the experience leads through squares, streets and rooms for transportation, commerce and private uses. At Suvarnabhumi Airport innovative and integrated architectural structural and environmental design were used, new materials and systems of advanced technology developed. The result is a building flooded with controlled daylight in a tropical climate. After eleven years of planning and construction the terminal was opened for passenger traffic in Setpember 2006. Helmut Jahn is head of the renowned architectural firm Murphy/Jahn, based in Chicago. Founded over 70 years ago, Murphy/Jahn has created many notable projects in the United States and Europe, including Chicago O’Hare International Airport, United Airlines Terminal One Complex, Sony Center, Berlin and Post Tower, Bonn, Germany.
