This publication is the second edition of this contemporary guide to
the architecture of Hamburg, Germany's second largest city and one of
its most fascinating destinations.The guide's introduction
featuring three critical treatises outlines the historic and urbanistic
profile of the city. The selection of 74 projects, organised in 5
itineraries, provides a full-immersion in architecture, allowing the
reader to dwell on the functional, typological and compositive aspects
of the buildings, which are rendered even more legible by images and
technical drawings that supplement the descriptions. This volume also
contains useful information and advice, making it easier and quicker for
readers to get around the city and truly capture the essence of the
place even in a short visit.
This is more than simply an architecture guide: it is also and above all an invitation to travel.
