Non-Fictional Narratives : Denton Corker Marshall Hardback
by Leon Schaik
Hardback
Description
Founded in Melbourne in 1972, the Australian architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall is one of the most important actors in the Pacific region.
DCM is represented in East Asia as well as the Near East and Europe with numerous structures and also has offices in Jakarta and London.
In the last five years DCM has substantially increased its international presence with ambitious and widely noted building projects and showcased its modern architectural language, which is marked by minimalism and as cool as it is unusual. Among the most important recent projects presented by the volume are the Civil Justice Center in Manchester, UK; Webb Bridge in Melbourne, Australia; and the Dongqianhu International Educational Forum in Ningbo, China.
With the Chong Qing International New Town the firm has taken on the planning of an entire city for the first time. Das australische Architekturbüro Denton Corker Marshall, 1972 in Melbourne gegründet, zählt zu den wichtigsten Akteuren im pazifischen Raum.
DCM ist mit zahlreichen Bauten in Ostasien, daneben auch im Nahen Osten und in Europa vertreten und unterhält Büros auch in Jakarta und London.
In den letzten fünf Jahren haben DCM ihre internationale Präsenz mit anspruchsvollen und vielbeachteten Bauprojekten erheblich verstärkt und ihre moderne, vom Minimalismus geprägte, ebenso coole wie ungewöhnliche Architektursprache profiliert. Zu den wichtigsten neueren Projekten, die der Band vorstellt, gehören das Civil Justice Center in Manchester, UK, die Webb Bridge in Melbourne, Australien und das Dongqianhu International Educational Forum in Ningbo, China.
Mit der Chong Qing International New Town hat das Büro erstmalig die Planung einer ganzen Stadt übernommen. Leon van Schaik ist Innovation Professor am Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology und Autor des Buches „Mastering Architecture, Becoming a Creative Innovator in Practice".
Weitere Beiträge stammen von bekannten Autoren wie Deyan Sudjic, Nikos Papastergiadis, Jianfei Zhu und Suzie Attiwill.
