Today, the name RKW Architektur + Städtebau evokes two
hundred architects whose work never fails to convince. The reason does not lie
in the narrowly defined architectural language of individual leaders of the
firm. More than in any other firm, the various teams are given generous
latitude for independent initiative. Thus, this documentation of the last ten
years, with cross-references to the development of this unique partnership
since 1950, doesn't just present sixty-five structures and projects from an
internationally sought after firm. On the contrary, in its search for the
secret of the firm's success, it looks behind the scenes in numerous interviews
and essays. The works considered range from the research facilities for AUDI,
the new sciences campus of RWTH Aachen University, and the corporate
headquarters of Vodafone, Debitel, and Arag to urban revitalization projects,
residential buildings, schools, sports halls, railroad stations, city halls,
banks, urban office buildings and shopping centers, and the stadium for the
2012 European Soccer Championship in Gdansk.
