Erich Mendelsohn (1887–1953) gehört zu den vielseitigsten Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Werk verbindet die Gegensätze von organischem und rationalem Bauen, von technologischer Innovation und einer regionalistischen Haltung, von individueller Form und einem universalen Ausdruck. Auch nach seiner Emigration aus Deutschland 1933 über England und Palästina in die USA bleibt er einflussreich bis heute. Die umfassende Monografie dokumentiert sämtliche 70 bekannten, realisierten Bauten Mendelsohns in Text und Bild. Sie setzt sich in zwei Essays aber auch mit seiner Entwurfshaltung und seinem Leben auseinander. Ein neu erstelltes Verzeichnis listet sämtliche ungebauten Projekte auf. Zahlreiche neue Fotografien Carsten Krohns, neu gezeichnete Pläne sowie historische Abbildungen illustrieren die Publikation.

A newly compiled register lists all of his unbuilt projects The publication also contains numerous new photographs by Carsten Krohn, newly drawn plans and historical illustrations.
