Like the two volumes published in 2014 and 2016 about Frankfurt's architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, Frankfurt 1970-1979 presents ten remarkable buildings of exceptional quality – complemented by two additional highlights from the decade and an obituary for the former Deutsche Bank headquarters. In addition to the skyscrapers that define the Frankfurt skyline, luxurious residential complexes, private houses, and the strictly guarded administrative building of the Deutsche Bundesbank are featured. The buildings also include a gigantic hall of Deutsche Lufthansa, known only to those arriving from the air, the secretly iconic structure designed by Egon Eiermann, and an early example of the currently popular "Green Building." Renowned architects, art historians, music journalists, and design theorists expand the perspective on the decade with their essays.
