One of the most striking buildings to be erected in Munich in recent decades is the Oskar von Miller Forum, a center for architectural instruction and exchange that is itself a dramatic and exciting work of architecture. This volume brings together a group of experts who give a detailed account of the building, including the many years of planning and discussion that went into it, the environmentally friendly and emissions-reducing innovations it employs, and the ways in which its design gives precedence to the comfort and well-being of the students who reside there. A beautifully illustrated biography of an important architectural achievement, Oscar von Miller Forum will be of interest to scholars and students of design, architecture, and planning.
