Book Description Softcover. Condition: gut. Bilingual. "Die stark wachsende Bevölkerung merkt, dass ihr Planet bald zu klein sein wird. Die Erde wird abgebaut, das so gewonnene Baumaterial nach aussen transportiert, und es entsteht der Globus Cassus, ein neuer, frei gedachter, mehrfach grösserer Lebensraum." So beginnt die Geschichte über den Umbau der Erde in eine gigantische Hohlstruktur den Globus Cassus. Dieser bildet den Kern des Schweizer Beitrags an der 9. Internationalen Architekturbiennale in Venedig. Das Projekt, präzise ausgearbeitet und detailliert beschrieben, sprengt mit seinen themenübergreifenden Fragestellungen den Rahmen der Architektur und schreibt weiter an der Geschichte grosser Utopien unserer Zeit. For the hard core science fiction fan, who would like some science fiction that is intended to be science non-fiction, albeit very speculative, this is a very interesting read. This book discusses the feasibility and method of turning the earth into a hollow sphere offering far more surface area in which the human race could continue to multiply at its current rate for, well, about the time it would take to turn the earth into a hollow sphere. Interesting nonetheless and quite humorous to watch my family's reaction. They didn't get it and now they're more certain than ever I'm not really a relation. In the book the author uses a planet sized imagination to transform the world we live on into something much more. The book is much shorter than I anticipated with half of the pages being written in German it is an intriguing idea that may have needed some more details. All round a good read and highly suggested Co-Autor Boris Groys, Claude Lichtenstein, Michael Stauffer Sprache englisch; deutsch Einbandart Paperback Technik Architektur Architekt Architekten Biennale Venedig Kunst Architektonisch Künstler Architecture Vision Waldvogel, Christian ISBN-10 3-03778-045-2 / 3037780452 ISBN-13 978-3-03778-045-9 / 9783037780459 Lars Müller Publishers, Baden Lars Muller Publishers; Bilingual edition Globus Cassus von Christian Waldvogel, Boris Groys, Claude Lichtenstein und Michael Stauffer In deutscher Sprache. 182 pages. 21,2 x 16 x 1,4 cm.
