There is more to numbers than sums; they can also conceal histories, too. In this case, world-famous architectural history. For five years the renowned Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery), designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was closed to the public for renovation. Nevertheless, the photographer Michael Wesely was able to accommodate "four guests" inside the iconic building: four cameras, each one pointing in a different direction, were installed on the ceiling. Every day they took between 360 and 730 pictures with an exposure time of 90 seconds each. Edited into bewitching montages, this fascinating synopsis allows readers to envision the building's metamorphosis as it was undergoing renovations. The long exposure time is an aesthetic coup, for ephemeral, restless, rapid movements contrast with the still, timeless quality of the architecture, presenting a sophisticated interplay of identity and change.This book is published on the occasion of the re-opening of the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, August 2021. It is a slightly altered special edition of the original numbered edition of April 2021.The photographer MICHAEL WESELY (*1963) is a celebrated master of the long exposure. His precise approach to this photographic technique, tailored to each object, brought him world renown. His unique aesthetic can be found in numerous exhibitions and collections around the globe. He lives in Berlin.
Zweisprachige Ausgabe(deutsch/englisch): Armin Linkes Nachtaufnahmen zeigen die Leerstelle der Bauakademie alsTeil einer Schinkel-Spur im Berliner Stadtraum: Die rudimentäre Replik derGebäudeecke provoziert Fragen nach der künftigen Nutzung und Gestaltdieses zentralen Orts. Trotz der gegenwärtigen Bundestagsmehrheit für eineRekonstruktion der historischen Fassaden - analog zur gerade fertiggestelltenSchlosskopie des Humboldt Forums - gibt es unter Architekt*innen und in derBerliner Stadtgesellschaft deutlich differenziertere Vorstellungen zum Umgangmit der Bauakademie. Es regt sich Widerstand gegen eine Vereinnahmungdieser wichtigen Institution und Bauaufgabe durch eine Repräsentationspolitik,die unter dem Motto "So viel Schinkel wie möglich" mehr historische Spuren zuverwischen droht als sie vorgeblich sichtbar machen will. Zu einem kritischenZeitpunkt liefert Bauakademie Berlin konzeptuelle Perspektiven für eine zeitgenössischeBauakademie in Form von Texten, Architekturzeichnungen undKünstlerfotos.Mit Texten von Sandra Bartoli, Stefanie Endlich, Tanja Scheffler,Dubravka Sekulic, Axel Sowa, Stephan Trüby English description: Armin Linke's night photography reveals the vacancy of the Bauakademie as a trace of Schinkel in Berlin's urban fabric. The rudimentary replica of the corner construction raises questions about the future use and form of this centrally located site. Despite current majority support in Parliament for a reconstruction of the historical envelope¿analogous to the recently completed Humboldt Forum¿there are clearly more differentiated ideas among architects and urban society in Berlin about the future of the Bauakademie building. There is strong resistance to the appropriation of this important institution and building task by representational politics, that actually threaten to obscure more historical traces than they are supposed to make visible with the motto "As much Schinkel as possible". At this important moment, Bauakademie Berlin offers conceptual perspectives for a contemporary Bauakademie in the form of texts, architectural drawings, and artist's photographs. With texts by Sandra Bartoli, Stefanie Endlich, Philipp Oswalt, Tanja Scheffler, Dubravka Sekulic, Axel Sowa, Stephan Trüby, and Andreas Zeese. Photographs by Armin Linke and Gili Merin
"The perfect housekeeping guide for somebody who is overwhelmed with their mess and can't figure out how to start." -Lifehacker"An accessible guide on how to clean for normal people." -Livestrong"It actually changed my life and my home; I'm serious." -Book RiotFinally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those of us who'd describe our current living situation as a "f*cking mess" that we're desperate to fix. Unf*ck Your Habitat is for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems. The ones that ignore single people with full-time jobs; people without kids but living with roommates; and people with mental illnesses or physical limitations. Most organizational books are aimed at traditional homemakers, DIYers, and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins to match our table runners, and can keep plants alive for longer than a week. Basically, they ignore most of us living here in the real world!Interspersed with lists and challenges, this practical, no-nonsense advice relies on a 20/10 system (20 minutes of cleaning followed by a 10-minute break; no marathon cleaning allowed) to help you develop lifelong habits. It motivates you to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections so you can actually start applying the tactics as you progress. For everyone stuck between The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Adulting, this philosophy is more realistic than aspirational, but the goal is the same: not everyone will have a showcase of a home, but whatever your habitat, you deserve for it to bring you happiness, not stress.
