The Pritzker Prize-winning architect Gottfried Böhm learned his trade from his father. At the age of 94, Gottfried still works every day, with his wife, Elisabeth, who was an architect, and his sons Stephan, Peter and Paul, who are also architects. Intimate yet epic in its illustration of a design-oriented family, Concrete Love is unique in its depiction of the family’s commitment to public projects, the resiliency of their designs, and their faith in the lasting power of architecture.
