Sanctioning Modernism
In the decades following World War II, modern architecture spread around the globe alongside increased modernization, urbanization, and postwar reconstruction—and it eventually won widespread acceptance. But as the limitations of conventional conceptions of modernism became apparent, modern architecture has come under increasing criticism. In this collection of essays, experienced and emerging scholars take a fresh look at postwar modern architecture by asking what it meant to be “modern,” what role modern architecture played in constructing modern identities, and who sanctioned (or was sanctioned by) modernism in architecture.

Architektur in Deutschland 1919-1939
Such eclectic pluralism gives the lie to two widely held assumptions about modernist architecture in Germany: that it was synonymous with Bauhaus-style functionalism, and that it came to an abrupt end with the Nazis' accession to power in 1933.
Contemporary Architects
" To strengthen the contemporary focus of this volume, we have added about forty architects and have deleted some whose activity ceased before World War II. In making these decisions, we have been assisted by an Advisory Board. As in the first volume, we have continued to define the word "architect" very broadly, so as to include planners, theorists, structural engineers, and landscape architects whose work seems to be central to the enterprise of creating habitable spaces in our day." --Editor's note.

Lexikon der Kölner Architekten vom Mittelalter bis zum 20. Jahrhundert
Mit dem hier vorgelegten Lexikon der Kölner Architekten wird ein Lebenswerk von Wolfram Hagspiel (14.05.1952-03.06.2021) postum veröffentlicht, das seinesgleichen sucht. In über vier Jahrzehnten hat der Kölner Kunsthistoriker, Architekturhistoriker und Denkmalpfleger detailreich Informationen über Leben und Wirken von über 10.300 Architekten ausgewertet und erfasst. Über viele war bisher nur wenig bekannt. Hagspiel hat Archivquellen, graue Literatur und Monographien ausgewertet. Aufnahme fanden auch Personen, die bis ins 20. Jahrhundert aus der Bauwirtschaft stammend Architektur entwarfen, wie Baumeister, Maurermeister und Statiker. Der Autor, der nach 45 Jahren ein umfangreiches Oeuvre zur Kölner Architekturgeschichte hinterlassen hat, gibt damit erstmals einen Überblick über die Personen, die die Stadt seit Jahrhunderten gestalterisch erlebbar machten und machen.
