Scharoun (1893-1972) developed an approach to architecture and urban design that he called organic, and that set him apart from other protagonists of the modern movement, who strove for clear geometric volumes and rational buildings that followed a structural logic, says Krohn. He began his career in East Prussia, which was then a province of Germany but is now part of the Russian Federation, and this is the first comprehensive documentation of his work. He describes and colorfully illustrates the buildings and projects chronologically. Among them are Parkring blocks of flats in Insterberg/East Prussia 1924, housing "Im Eichengrung: in Berlin-Heiligensee 1936-38, "Romeo and Juliet" high-rise housing in Stuttgart 1954-59, and the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven 1969-75.
