Der Architekt Thomas Herzog gilt seit zwei Jahrzehnten international als Pionier des ökologisch orientierten und energiebewußten Bauens. Er formt aus diesen Inhalten architektonisch neuartige Konzepte, die Nutzung solarer Energie als gestaltungprägendes Kriterium stimuliert ihn zur Entwicklung immer neuer baulicher ›Leistungsformen‹. Der Band liefert in einführenden Essays von namhaften Autoren eine vielseitige Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Werk. Der Katalogteil stellt an exemplarischen Projekten dar, welche Faktoren entscheidend zu den jeweiligen Gebäudekonzepten führen. Eine Werkübersicht rundet die erste umfassende Monographie über diesen Grenzgänger zwischen Architektur, Physik und Ingenieurkunst ab. Rund 20 der wichtigsten Bauten und Projekte werden in Skizzen, Plänen, Werkzeichnungen, Schemata, Fotografien, Arbeits- und Präsentationsmodellen vorgestellt. Deutlich wird hierbei, daß es sich um neuartige Entwicklungen handelt, deren individuelle Form nicht aus Gestaltungswillen generiert wurde, sondern auf der Suche nach einer funktional, konstruktiv, ökologisch und gestalterisch überzeugenden Gesamtlösung. Herzogs eigene Erläuterungen zu seinem Arbeitsansatz geben darüber Aufschluß. Bausysteme und Baukomponenten, seine wichtigsten Forschungsarbeiten sowie Texte zu zentralen Fragestellungen der Architektur, Solarenergienutzung und des ressourcenschonenden Bauens beschließen den Band.
