Brunnert und Partners Flughafen Leipzig/Halle : Opus 52
Stuttgart/London: Edition Axel Menges 2004. Book. New. Cloth. First Edition. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. This work contains text in English and German. The new Leipzig/Halle airport has not just one but two predecessors. One was Leipzig-Mockau airport opened in 1923 and often still used after the Second World War in the GDR days to serve the Leipziger Messe. The other was Leipzig/Halle airport which opened in 1927 and by 1937 was already the second-largest airport in Germany. Passenger numbers had increased fourfold by 1994. A master plan was worked out for a second runway intended for 3.5 million passengers per year. An open architectural competition followed and was won by Brunnert und Partner from Stuttgart. They won with a risky concept that ran counter to the master plan. Instead of filling the site between the two runways the architects designed a huge bridge structure spanning the railway track and integrating the car-park the mall the check-in hall the access road and the transfer to the railway station. This concludes the first building phase which begins at the existing terminal and ends beyond the railway lines. The concept of the bridge will not be complete until the second building phase although it can already be made out quite clearly. 69pp. Edition Axel Menges Hardcover

Dutton Ralph.
ENGLISH COURT LIFE FROM HENRY VII TO GEORGE II.
London: B.T. Batsford 1963. 232 pp 9" H. B&w illustrations. "The atmosphere of a Court is enclosed and artificial. The monarch has in the past enjoyed a wide degree of power without a corresponding sense of obligation or responsibility; and for the courtiers whose position depended on their agreeableness flattery has always been at a premium just as frankness has been inhibited. How do men and women react in circumstances where normal standards of behaviour are inapplicable This is the question which by implication Ralph Dutton answers in this book. Since his survey covers the three centuries from Henry VII to George VII it is natural that in so many different courts and under the reign of so various a series of kings and queens Court Life should appear in most of its possible forms. But in the moral forcing house of the Court a constant element from 1485 to 1760 has been the tendency for personal virtues and defects of character to become exaggerated to an extent seldom met with in the prosaic outside world. As to the Courts themselves: the Coronations Drawing-rooms Progresses Births and Funerals; the favourites mistresses and politicians and the palaces in which they met intrigued and lived: as to all these they provide Mr. Dutton with a rich topic on which to exercise his accustomed gifts for description quotation and deprecatory comment." Light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine very light edge and corner wear bump at top corner of front board - migrates as a small bump at top corner of pages up to approx. page 40 small store label at bottom of front pastedown. Dust jacket has minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds minor browning at top edge of flaps small crease at bottom corner of rear flap. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
