Description
There are more than 100 buildings in Frankfurt that stand over 50 metres tall. This book examines the most historically and architecturally significant of them, placing them in the socio-political, economic and cultural contexts of their respective periods. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, drawings, plans and building models, the volume examines not only existing buildings but also those that were either never developed, or that have been demolished. Organised according to geographic location, the book serves as a tour that traces the development of the city as well as specific districts such as Frankfurt City, Frankfurt Westend, Niederrad Office City and the Frankfurt Airport. Brief biographies of important architects and others round out this unique guide to Frankfurt's towering achievements.
