"Werner Sobek is an engineer. An intelligent and gifted engineer, a specialist in lightweight structures, in using fabric where others would pour concrete, in letting glass float where others would frame it in steel. He is an architect as well. And he has worked with some of the most important architects around - Helmut Jahn, Christoph Ingenhoven, Dominique Perrault, Hans Hollein, to name but a few."--BOOK JACKET.
