Das unbekannte Gesamtwerk einer Architektin Elizabeth Scheu Close, 1912 in Wien geboren und 2011 in Amerika gestorben, wuchs in einem von Adolf Loos geplanten Haus auf. Ihre Eltern waren neuen Ideen sehr aufgeschlossen: Die Mutter, Helene Scheu-Riesz, war Autorin und Verlegerin von Kinderbüchern, der Vater ein Rechtsanwalt und politisch engagierter Sozialdemokrat. Als sich Elizabeth 1930 an der Technischen Hochschule in Wien für das Studium der Architektur einschrieb, waren antisemitische Ressentiments schon deutlich spürbar. Sie entschied sich 1932 in Boston ihr Studium abzuschließen. Danach baute sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Ehemann Winston Close ein Architekturbüro auf, dessen erster Auftrag die visionäre Umsetzung für eine Wohngemeinschaft war. Elizabeth Scheu Close führte über viele Jahrzehnte das Architekturbüro und realisierte zahlreiche Projekte mit hohem sozialem Anspruch. Die Einflüsse der Wiener Moderne, ihre Prägung durch Adolf Loos' Stil und die strukturellen Wurzeln im "Roten Wien" der 1920er-Jahre begleiteten ihre Arbeit zeitlebens. Die Publikation zeigt umfangreiches Material aus ihrer Kindheit und Jugend in Wien und geht ausführlich auf ihre Karriere in Amerika ein. Der reich illustrierte Band gibt nicht nur Anregungen für heute noch aktuelle Fragen des Wohnbaus, sondern rückt auch das Wirken einer Pionierin auf ihrem Gebiet in den Mittelpunkt. - Erste deutschsprachige Monografie - Einfühlsames Porträt und umfassendes Werkverzeichnis mit zahlreichen Abbildungen - Die Geschichte einer mutigen jungen Frau aus Österreich

Comfort and Great for Standing
Definitely the best shoe for standing on ur feet all day. I stand for about 7.5 hrs a day and this has changed things for me drastically. The foam makes a difference and the shoe is stylish as well.

ASICS Gel Running Shoes – Comfortable, Lightweight & Perfect for Gym and Running
Size: 10.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White, Size: 10.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White
I recently tried a pair of ASICS Gel sneakers, and I’m really impressed. They are extremely comfortable, with great cushioning that makes a big difference during workouts. I’ve used them both at the gym and for running, and they perform very well in both situations. The support is excellent, and they feel stable without being too heavy. I especially like how they absorb impact when running, which helps reduce stress on my feet and knees. They also have a nice fit and feel breathable, so my feet don’t get too hot. Overall, I’m very happy with them. If you’re looking for comfortable and reliable sneakers for the gym and running, I would definitely recommend ASICS Gel shoes.

Great Shoes by Asics
Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Piedmont Grey/Black
Comfortable and durable as heck; classic Asics quality. I love the casual appearance of it, which means I can wear it on a daily basis too. True to the size.

Excellent for a 4E wide foot!
Size: 9 X-Wide, Color: Piedmont Grey/Black
As a female with a wide foot, it is very hard to find a good, comfortable shoe for walking, running and hiking. These were immediately comfortable and really didn't require a break in, although they are more comfortable after a few days of use. My 1st day I put about 5 miles on them and they were great. The cushion isn't like a cloud, but it's there and very responsive. These are very supportive and breathable. I have gone on a few Easy to moderate hikes with them and they're just fine for a dryer trail. They have good grip for rocks as well. 10/10 for these! I will also add that I underpronate, and these provide wonderful stability for that.

Great comfort, but not built for long-term daily use
Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White, Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White
I've had this shoe for almost a year now. I use it almost daily on a walking pad while working from home, plus as a gym shoe. After nearly a year of this routine, I've noticed considerable wear on the sole. Don't get me wrong: the shoe is great and very comfortable, looks decent, and fits great at the start, and has good breathability. However, that comfort has started to fade as the shoe has worn down. Gel-Contends 9 is a really good shoe, but definitely not a long-term, heavy-use shoe. Perfect for casual or rotation use, occasional runs, but don't expect it to last 12+ months of daily wear.
