This exploration of structural boundaries at the limit of what was possible contrasted with an increase in confining, codified limits to what was permitted by growing systems of regulation. This volume brings together various contributions examining the practices, thought patterns and attitudes of designers and builders in the tension between these contrasting facets of high-modern construction. This novel approach to recent construction history is complemented by exploration of continuities and breaks between high-modern notions of efficiency and today's building industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilding and construction in the high modernity \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new approach to the recent history of construction with contributions by recognized experts \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eResults of the DFG priority program \"Construction as cultural heritage\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWerner Lorenz, Roland May, \u003c\/strong\u003e DFG priority program \"Construction as cultural heritage\", University of Cottbus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.3 x 7.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 29, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48716957155577,"sku":"9783035628609","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/D6HT9eSnei9783035628609.webp?v=1785075935","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/bauen-am-limit-traditionen-und-transformationen-eines-hochmodernen-leitbilds-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
