Hartmut Gruhl is a visionary ‘deconstructivist’ architect based in Cologne. His chaotic, intuitive, singular constructions have changed the visual landscape of West Germany over the course of a long career, and earned him a reputation as an iconoclast and authority on the intersection of art and architecture. Collecting many examples of his buildings, writings and artworks ‘BAUWERKE’ represents a culmination of a lifetime dedicated to pushing boundaries. The content of the book was pulled from an archive of vintage publications, forgotten CDRs, 35mm films and press clippings. Smashed together in a style that is at times alarming, but still retains a solid structural integrity, much like the buildings that Gruhl himself created.
