Hans and Wassili Luckhardt

Hans und Wassili Luckhardt
The architectural work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt (1890–1954/1889–1972) is not yet adequately appreciated. As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin’s Alexanderplatz. While their early work was anchored in utopian expressionism, a more objective attitude emerged later, based on the application of new architectural constructs. The book documents all 40 of Hans und Wassili Luckhardt’s realized buildings. Two essays deal with the unbuilt and utopian projects. Newly taken photographs and newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn complement the historical illustrations. * Comprehensive documentation of the work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt. * * With approx. 80 new photographs and 80 newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn

Graveyards
An arresting and poignant cultural history of graveyards, from early burial sites to now. Why, how and where do we inter our dead? How do we set out to remember them? The Pyramids of Giza, the catacombs and columbaria of Rome and the cenotaphs erected to the world’s war dead are but some of the answers. In inimitable style, Roger Luckhurst probes the often moving, sometimes contested ways in which people throughout history have responded to the ‘problem’ of laying the dead to rest. Blending history, art, literature and popular culture, Graveyards explores the various different aspects of the treatment of the dead. Chapters range from early burials and the emergence of necropolises and catacombs, to grave-robbing, garden cemeteries and the perilous overcrowding of the urban dead, to monuments for deceased heroes and rulers and the development of modern memorial culture. The products of our persistent fascination with graveyards are everywhere in literature, art, film and television,

Den odrägliga Lennart utmanar Rogers dammsugarrekord och hotar att lägga beslag på den åtråvärdaste titeln av dem alla: "Riddaren av Dammråtteorden". Detta får inte ske, enligt Roger.

Inget av detta har varit bra för hotellet, gästerna har flytt. Skärpning krävs. Det sätts lås på både bastun och uthuset med dammsugarna och Pyret är i vanlig ordning portförbjuden. Nu ska väl allt gå bra? Nej, för nu kommer Lennart, Rogers antagonist, och meddelar att han kommer att slå Rogers alla dammsugarrekord och bli Riddare av Dammråtteorden, något Roger aldrig klarat. Det är för mycket. Det får inte ske. Men om Roger kan få Ingo att hjälpa Lennart? Då måste väl ändå allt gå på tok och Rogers rekord klara sig?
