Play-acting but also the opera have only seemingly little to do with with our everyday life. Opera is a world of art in which reality is actually very much present, but condensed in such a way that it speaks to us in a particularly impressive way.

In order to make the dramatic emotional and sound dimensions of an opera tangible for the audience, a close interaction of dramaturges, actors, singers, dancers, directors, stage designers and technicians is necessary. What role do stage designers play in this? Don't some performances owe their success primarily to the work of the set designer?

The stage settings created by Hans Dieter Schaal have, over and over again, such a lasting effect due to their visual power that they remain in the memory of the audience for a long time.

The first volume on Hans Dieter Schaal's stage settings covered the years 1982 to 2000, and this book now brings out a further volume dedicated to the works from 2001 to 2021. During this time, Schaal worked on a wide variety of German and international stages. The book is captivating not only because of its abundance of mostly large-format photographs and a large number of design drawings, but also because of the detailed texts written by Schaal himself, which reveal how intensively the artist deals with the respective work.

Louis I. Kahn in Conversation: Interviews with John W. Cook and Heinrich Klotz, 1969-70
In 1969 and 1970, Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974)--one of America's greatest 20th-century architects--participated in a series of interviews with a young German architectural historian, Heinrich Klotz, then a visiting professor at Yale University, and John W. Cook, who was teaching architecture at the Yale Divinity School. <i>Louis I. Kahn in Conversation</i> provides the first full edited transcript of these candid, illuminating interviews, which provide remarkable insights into Kahn's philosophy of architecture. The conversations touch on many of his iconic works, including the unbuilt City Tower Project for Philadelphia, the Yale University Art Gallery, the First Unitarian Church in Rochester, and major international projects then under construction, as well as the Yale Center for British Art, Kahn's final building, on which he was beginning work at the time. Illustrated with dozens of plans, drawings, and photographs, the book also features an introduction by Jules David Prown, the first director of the Yale Center for British Art, who recommended Kahn as its architect.<br> <p/>Distributed for the Yale Center for British Art, in association with Manuscripts and Archives, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University and the Architectural Archives of the University of Pennsylvania

Architecture Inserted (English)
This book features the advanced studios of Chris Perry, Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang, and Liza Fior with Katherine Clarke assisted by Andrei Harwell. The research and projects grapple with the issues of how to insert new pieces of architecture both as infrastructural and individual cultural buildings, into sites where existing physical and social issues are at conflict. The design solutions in each case--Cern headquarters in Geneva, the Périphérique of Paris, and the London 2012 Olympic site--unify the urban design and piece together the sites as bits of urban acupuncture creating new amenities and resources for the future. The book includes interviews with the architects about the work of their professional offices and essays on the themes of their advanced studios.
