Source: Virginia Tech (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)
Newswise Markus Breitschmids book, "Der bauende Geist. Friedrich Nietzsche und die Architektur," or "The Building Spirit. Friedrich Nietzsche and Architecture," has been selected by the Institute of Philosophy in Karlsruhe-Germany as one of 14 seminal texts along with books by Aristotle, Heidegger, and Kepler written on the problem of architectural space.
In his book, Breitschmid, assistant professor of the history of architecture and design at Virginia Tech, inaugurated a reinterpretation of the noted German philosopher Nietzsche, namely that creative thought, and building thought in particular, fundamentally determines the world of Nietzsche. The book is recognized for the study of the modernist transformation of space in the architectural thinking of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Breitschmids book was published in 2001 in Lucerne by the publisher Quart Verlag.
