| Summary: | "Why is it really that architects wear black?" was a question put to Cordula Rau by an automotive industry manager during an architectural competition. Even though she herself is an architect, and wears black, she did not have an answer on the spot. So she decided to ask other architects, as well as artists and designers. She has been collecting their handwritten replies in a notebook since 2001. In 2008, this collection of autographs appeared as a small publication – obviously bound in black. For the purpose of the new edition, this legendary collection was expanded by new notable, amusing, pragmatic, and quirky reasons: "Please read – and don’t ask me why architects wear black!". (Cordula Rau) „Warum tragen Architekten eigentlich Schwarz?", wurde Cordula Rau während eines Architektenwettbewerbs von einem Manager der Autoindustrie gefragt. Obwohl sie selbst Architektin ist und auch schwarz trägt, wusste sie spontan keine Antwort. Sie beschloss andere Architekten, aber auch Künstler und Designer zu fragen. Seit 2001 sammelt sie deren handschriftliche Antworten in einem Notizbuch. 2008 erschien diese Sammlung von Autographen in einem kleinen – natürlich schwarz gebundenen – Werk. Anlässlich der Neuauflage wurde diese legendäre Sammlung um neue bemerkenswerte, amüsante, pragmatische und spitzfindige Begründungen erweitert: "Lesen Sie – und bitte fragen Sie mich nicht, warum Architekten schwarz tragen!"
