{"product_id":"warburg-models","title":"Warburg Models","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn Edifice of Ideas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArchitectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of Aby Warburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organized Warburg's remarkable library. From 1927 Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferred to London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architectural commissioning continued, including projects designed by the avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminating in the construction of the library's present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models: Buildings as Bilderfahrzeuge follows this history, using archive photographs, architectural drawings and a series of architectural models to show how the Warburg scholars projected a connection between their own physical occupancy of architectural space and their shared ideas about intellectual order, cultural survival, and memory.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664340422692,"sku":"9783775755207","price":61.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783775755207.jpg?v=1777359011","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/warburg-models","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
