Rezensionen

"Sheer productivity alone would mark the practice founded in 1965 by Meinhard von Gerkan (born 1935 in the Baltic city of Riga) and Volkwin Marg (born 1936 in East Prussia) as a considerable force in contemporary German and (hence European) architecture. They have built in most major German cities and now have offices in Brunswick, Aachen and Berlin as well as in their home base of Hamburg, where von Gerkan lives in a stunning, humanely modern house, next to the office, overlooking the harbour. In the field of airport design alone, the firm has to be considered alongside such international masters as Norman Foster and Helmut Jahn. Large scale planning exercises are undertaken as well as building on a small scrale in the countryside.Von Gerken, Marg + Partners is a very large operation. But there is more to it than size."
