Rudolf Schwarz gehört zu den großen deutschen Architekten dieses Jahrhunderts - sowohl mit seinen Bauten als auch mit seinen Schriften. Bis heute galt Schwarz vor allem als Kirchenbauer, was er selbst jedoch ganz anders gesehen hat: »Das Gebiet des Künstlers ist die Welt in ihrer ungebrochenen Ganzheit.« So epochale Sakralbauten Schwarz geschaffen hat - etwa die Aachener Fronleichnamskirche -, von ihm stammen auch wichtige Profanbauten: die Wohnhäuser der dreißiger Jahre, die einer Ästhetik weitab der offiziell verordneten folgten, der Umbau der Frankfurter Paulskirche nach dem Krieg zu einem Festhaus des deutschen Volkes, das ehemalige Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Köln und viele andere Projekte. Dieses Buch über Rudolf Schwarz ist die erste umfangreiche Monografie, die aus den Quellen erarbeitet wurde. Sein Werk wird großenteils durch unbekanntes Originalmaterial belegt: etwa durch hinreißende Aquarelle und Skizzen aus seiner Zeit als Meisterschüler bei Poelzig, aber auch durch Pläne und Ansichten aus seiner »weißen Epoche« und der Aufbau-Epoche nach 1945. Die umfangreiche und üppig bebilderte Publikation erschien zum 100. Geburtstag des stets verantwortlich denkenden Baumeisters, zeitgleich mit einer Ausstellung, die in Köln, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main und in München zu sehen war. Zum Architekten: Rudolf Schwarz (Straßburg 1897-1961 Köln). Studium an der Technischen Hochschule und der Preußischen Akademie der Künste in Berlin. 1927-1934 Direktor an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Aachen. 1946-1952 Leiter des Amts für Stadtplanung in Köln. 1952 Verleihung des Fritz-Schumacher-Preises der Stadt Hamburg. 1953- 1961 Professor für Städtebau an der Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf.Shipping Notes

Slowing Down to Unlock the Power of Spiritual Discipline
Format: Kindle
In his compelling book, "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry," John Mark Comer presents a powerful case for slowing down and embracing spiritual disciplines as a means to access the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. As a fellow Jesus follower, I found Comer's insights to be both convicting and inspiring, urging me to reevaluate my own priorities and pursue a deeper connection with God.
One of the book's central themes is the idea that spiritual disciplines like prayer and fasting require great intentionality and commitment, but they also unlock a source of power that is otherwise inaccessible to us. Comer argues that by creating space for these practices in our lives, we open ourselves up to the work of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live with greater purpose, peace, and spiritual vitality.
This message struck a chord with me, as I have often struggled to maintain a consistent rhythm of spiritual disciplines amidst the demands of my roles as a CEO, dad, and technology enthusiast. Comer's words serve as a timely reminder that neglecting these practices can lead to a sense of disconnection from God and a lack of spiritual power in our lives.
As I reflected on the book's content, I was reminded of Jesus' teaching that some demons can only be cast out through prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29). While Comer does not specifically reference this passage, I believe it affirms the book's underlying premise—that there is real spiritual power to be found in the disciplines of prayer and fasting, power that enables us to overcome the challenges and obstacles we face in our lives.
"The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" is more than just a call to slow down; it is an invitation to pursue a life of deep intimacy with God and to experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. For anyone who has ever felt too busy to prioritize their spiritual growth, this book offers a compelling vision of what is possible when we ruthlessly eliminate hurry and make space for the things that truly matter.
If you are looking for a book that will challenge you to reconsider your priorities, deepen your faith, and experience the power of spiritual discipline in new ways, "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" is a must-read. Comer's insights and practical guidance will help you cultivate a life marked by greater purpose, peace, and spiritual vitality.

YES YES YES ...
Format: Hardcover
The message and encouragement in these pages are for a thoughtful read and read-again. It has helped me understand and pursue an unhurried being, care for my soul enriching my relationwith with God, others and myself. Hint: It's not about time management or eliminating calendar commitments; can be but it's more than that, it is care of one's soul before God. This book has focused me .... as I said, it's a read and listen once twice thrice kind of book. Much to savor.
