Die Architektur der letzten 20 Jahre musste auf widersprüchliche Anforderungen reagieren: Sie hatte sich einerseits zurückzunehmen, um neutrale und für verschiedenartige Nutzungen offene Bauten bereitzustellen und musste andererseits unverwechselbare Objekte mit einmaligem Design, hohem Wiedererkennungswert und der Möglichkeit prägnanter Identifikation anbieten. Mit der Idee der »specific neutrality« und strategischen Schlagwörtern wie »low cost monuments« oder »Ikea Klassizismus« folgend, realisiert das Atelier Kempe Thill immer wieder neue Lösungen, die in Zeiten des Umbruchs und steigenden Kostendrucks dennoch kraftvoll, selbstverständlich und innovativ das Erbe der europäischen Baukunst weiterdenken. Das 2000 von André Kempe (*1968 in Freiberg) und Oliver Thill (*1971 in Chemnitz) in Rotterdam gegründete Büro hat heute rund 15 Mitarbeiter. Die Publikation verdeutlicht den speziellen Ansatz der Architekten anhand von sehr persönlichen und nicht immer politisch korrekten Statements zu Projekten aus über 12 Jahren.Shipping Notes

The Babylonian Empire
Format: Kindle
This book analyses the achievements and challenges of the Babylonian Empire. It was a significant socio-political entity in Ancient Times. Like Assyria, the Babylonian state retained the written Akkadian language (the language of its native populace) for official use, despite its Northwest Semitic-speaking Amorite founders and Kassite successors, who spoke a language isolate, not being native Mesopotamians. It retained the Sumerian language for religious use (as did Assyria). Still, already by the time, Babylon was founded, this was no longer a spoken language, having been wholly subsumed by Akkadian. The earlier Akkadian and Sumerian traditions played a significant role in Babylonian and Assyrian culture. The region would remain an important cultural center, even under its protracted periods of outside rule. Ganesh of Mari founded the Kassite dynasty.
Both Dynasties were significant. Moreover, The Kassites, like the Amorite rulers who had preceded them, were not originally native to Mesopotamia. They had first appeared in the Zagros Mountains of northwestern Iran today. Overall the book is well-written.

History as it should be written!
Format: Paperback
I found this book outstanding in every way. It is a fascinating, vivid picture of an incredible time in history. It’s interesting to read with rigorous research and draws the reader in as it travels through the three nations that ruled from Babylon. It gave me a fresh perspective of how the Old Testament history and prophets fit in with what was happening in Mesopotamia.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether history buffs or someone completely new to the topic. This book is great for AP students or homeschoolers who will benefit from a solid foundation in the history of Babylon (and Sumer and Assyria) in a fun format they will enjoy reading.

Good reading
Format: Paperback
Excellent historical information, on an empire that is hardly talked about in the media.
All other empires follow this great one.

A difficult book that must be read
This is a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by William Styron (the author of Sophie’s Choice). It is based on a slave revolt in Virginia in 1831, lead by Nate Turner. Turner’s capture and confession is the basis of this book.
The novel is told in a 1st person narrative and is largely the work of Styron’s imagination. While it is brilliantly written Styron does include graphic scenes of highly erotic obsessions with various white women and one of the most vivid homosexual encounters in modern literature. Probably because of these scenes Styron was savaged by many of the leading black artists of the day but the book has endured the criticism and is, in many ways, an American Classic.
Slavery is an indelible stain on the fabric of American culture. It will never be washed away. Turner is an aesthetic, a religious fanatic, a brilliant, tormented misanthropic, homicidal nihilist. His band of followers slaughters 52 men, women, and children. In retribution the white slaughter 200 blacks. Turner is captured, interrogated, and executed. Instead of inspiring a region wide uprising, he is brought down by his fellow blacks fighting alongside the plantation owners.
It is a difficult book to read but it is a book that really should be read.
