Tremendous excitement has gripped the Chinese aviation industry within
the past year. Due to exploding demand for air travel by Chinese consumers,
the need for more aircraft and more routes by airlines has intensified
to the point that the Chinese government estimates that over 280 Billion
USD will be spent over the next 20 years on purchasing new airplanes
and parts; plus, roughly 17 Billion USD on airport construction alone.
This event is an important step in the formation of promising and
prosperous relationships between Chinese and international players. |

Bauhausarchitektur - Fotodokumentation von Hans Engels
mit Texten von Axel Tilch
Durch den Anblick der renovierten Meisterhäuser in Dessau entstand
bei dem Künstler Hans Engels die Idee, nachzuforschen, ob es an
anderen Orten neben der bekannten auch noch unbekannte Bauhaus-Architektur
gibt. Bei der Diskussion mit verschiedenen Fachleuten stellt er
fest, dass zu diesem Zeitpunkt kein Überblick über die heute noch
vorhandenen Bauhaus-Gebäude existierte und so machte er sich auf
die Suche, zuerst in Archiven, dann auf seinen Reisen.
