On Old Foundations
Every place, every plot of land had a history before architects developed something new there. The architects gmp ∙ von Gerkan, Marg and Partners have also gained their worldwide reputation through buildings that deal sensitively with the location and its history, while remaining true to their contemporary architectural approach.
In around 30 examples from around the world, such as Hamburg's HafenCity, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, the Chinese National Museum in Beijing, and the Mané Garrincha National Stadium in Brasília, this book illustrates the historical prerequisites and architectural solutions for building in existing structures.
