Among the many guides to the architecture of Hamburg, a gap is certainly filled by this original, reasonably-priced reader in pocket format, which presents the most interesting architectural and urban development projects of the last five years and also looks ahead to the near future. An independent jury of recognised architecture critics made the selection: numerous full-colour pictures not only illustrate the well-known new buildings in the centre of Hamburg, but also show a wealth of “hidden treasures” in the seven city districts. The architectonic “flip-book” in A7 format, which fits easily into any pocket or bag, also provides key data on the projects, as well as giving their location within the city as a whole and information on how to reach them using public transport. This user-friendly guide to architecture will also be appearing in English.
