Az W Book Salon 5: Create Knowledge
© Hertha Hurnaus

in German

To help filter those books worth reading or giving as presents from the flood of current books on architecture, many of which we often just leaf through, this year, for the fifth time, we invite you to attend our book salon in the library of the Az W. At the end of each year the collection of books and magazines that increases from year to year is the focus of a discussion group that talks about selected examples. In an introductory overview of new publications Wolfgang Heidrich presents the breadth of the bibliophile universe of the Az W. Following this our guests discuss the new books from 2013 on the basis of their subjective selections and give their personal reading recommendations – independent of the year in which the book in question first appeared.

Welcome:

Andreas Rumpfhuber, architecture theorist
