In Hamburg, the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organised Warburg's remarkable library. From 1927, Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 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. It culminated in the construction of the library's present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWarburg Models\u003c\/em\u003e: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471896330476,"sku":"9783775755207","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4bd828ba7199b5fa9b18fe22a4e613df.jpg?v=1775692836","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/warburg-models-9783775755207","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
