Why Do Architects Wear Black?
"Why do architects always wear black?" Cordula Rau was asked this question by an automotive industry manager during an architectural competition. Although an architect herself who also wears black, she didn't have an answer off the top of her head. She decided to ask other architects as well as artists and designers. Since 2001, she has been collecting their handwritten replies in a notebook. In 2008, these were published in a small work – black-bound, of course. For its new edition, this legendary collection has been expanded to include new amusing, pragmatic and subtle explanations: "Read it – but please don’t ask me why again architects wear black!"

Rudolf Schwarz and the Monumental Order of Things
The product of a continuous European architectural and intellectual practice that bridged the Second World War, the work of Rudolf Schwarz (1897?1961) allows a deeper understanding of post-war German architecture. This book examines nine of his religious and secular buildings sited in the Rhineland, which are presented through new survey drawings and photographs. These are accompanied by Schwarz?s project descriptions and his lecture ?Architecture of Our Times? from 1958, which contextualizes his approach. Essays by Wolfgang Pehnt and an interƯ view with Schwarz?s wife, the architect Maria Schwarz, provide further insight into this complex oeuvre.
