Abstract

AbstractIn the last two decades, Rationalism has been revisited in Germany. As Werner Durth and Roland May demonstrate in these four projects it can provide very different strategies for dealing with often complex urban contexts, whether it provides: ‘order for disparate surroundings’ as in the Ohel Jakob Synagogue in Munich; a consistent vocabulary for the regeneration of a Modernist GDR housing scheme as at Thuringia; a representative elegance and inbuilt flexibility as at Frankfurt Airport's Terminal 3; or a means of reasserting the orientation and materiality of earlier buildings on an existing site as in Hans Kollhoff's Het Palais Condominium in Breda in the Netherlands.
