The beginning of the misunderstanding

More about the book

Erik Göngrich is a Berlin-based artist who works with sculpture, drawing, photography, and other media. His interest lies in architecture and design, in how things are made and why, and in interactions with places. He therefore fills this book with numerous drawings, sketches and full-colour photographs, all of which revolve around the topic of the so-called misunderstanding of Modernism and how urban settings and ideals can be put back on track through effective sculptural or monumental transformations of public space. Part manifesto, part research project, this engaging book presents a fascinating re-imagination of Modernisms failed and dilapidated legacy.
