Volkwin Marg, one of Germany's most renowned architects, has conducted eleven dialogues on topics that have shaped his work and his life. Participants include publicist Robert Leicht, engineer Werner Sobek, Hamburg's Chief Building Director Jörn Walter, poster artist Klaus Staeck, architectural historian Winfried Nerdinger, and composer and director Thomas Höft.
The result is a book that, through dynamic conversation, not only reveals an extraordinarily diverse life, but also demonstrates that the most diverse topics – art, shipbuilding, history, politics, philosophy, and much more – can be valuable for the observation and understanding of architecture.
