Summary:
"Why do architects always wear black?" Cordula Rau was asked this question by an automotive industry manager during an architectural competition. Although an architect herself who also wears black, she didn't have an answer off the top of her head. She decided to ask other architects as well as artists and designers. Since 2001, she has been collecting their handwritten replies in a notebook. In 2008, these were published in a small work – black-bound, of course. For its new edition, this legendary collection has been expanded to include new amusing, pragmatic and subtle explanations: "Read it – but please don’t ask me why again architects wear black!" (Cordula Rau) New and expanded edition of the cult book A collection of handwritten statements in an A6-format notebook With 16 new statements
„Warum tragen Architekten eigentlich Schwarz?", wurde Cordula Rau während eines Architektenwettbewerbs von einem Manager der Autoindustrie gefragt. Obwohl sie selbst Architektin ist und auch Schwarz trägt, wusste sie spontan keine Antwort. Sie beschloss, andere Architekten, aber auch Künstler und Designer zu fragen. Seit 2001 sammelt sie fortlaufend deren handschriftliche Antworten in einem Notizbuch. 2008 erschien diese Sammlung von Autographen in einem kleinen – natürlich schwarz gebundenen – Werk. Anlässlich der Neuausgabe wurde diese legendäre Sammlung um neue bemerkenswerte, amüsante, pragmatische und spitzfindige Begründungen erweitert: "Lesen Sie – und bitte fragen Sie mich nicht, warum Architekten Schwarz tragen!" (Cordula Rau) Erweiterte Neuausgabe des Kultbuches Sammlung handschriftlicher Erklärungen in einem A6-Notizbuch Ergänzung um 16 neue Statements
