  • - The Science of Strollology
    av Lucius Burckhardt
    489

    Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) lehrte an der Universitat Kassel Architekturtheorie und grundete in den 1980er Jahren die Promenadologie, die Spaziergangswissenschaft, und entwickelte sie zu einer komplexen und weitsichtigen Planungs- und Designdisziplin. Weil die Landschaft"e; als Idee nur in unseren Kopfen existiert, handeln Burckhardts Texte (und Zeichnungen) weniger von den schonen Aussichten, sondern davon, welche mannigfaltigen Beziehungen ein einfacher Spazierganger mit seiner Umwelt eingeht. Wer mit wachen Augen die Umgebung beobachtet, dem stellen sich interessante Fragen: Warum etwa Stadt"e; und Land"e; in Zeiten der fortschreitenden Zersiedelung gar nicht mehr so einfach zu trennen sind. Oder weshalb wir einen Viadukt als schon, ein Atomkraftwerk jedoch als eine Storung empfinden. Aber auch, warum Garten wie Kunstwerke sind und deshalb genau wie diese befragt werden sollten.Dieses Buch veroffentlicht erstmals in englischer Sprache 28 Texte des Design- und Planungskritikers, in deren Zentrum die Aspekte Landschaft, Gartenkunst und Spaziergangswissenschaft stehen.

  • - Contemporary Housing Types and Territories
    av Har Ye Kan & Peter G. Rowe
    749

    Accomodation of diversity and the creation of urban density are a focus of world-wide building and planning activities today. This book combines the architectural and urban scales to demonstrate that it is a specific quality, urban intensity, which determines the success of housing. The authors provide a typology of housing according to the ways in which diversity and density are created. Comparisons with historical models and critical appraisals based on the authors' unique standing give ample information on the pros and cons of major types of housing, their pitfalls and successful examples. Newly created sets of drawings, from floor plans to spectacular 3D aerial views of the buildings in their urban contexts, accompany each of the more than twenty case studies that are described and analyzed in detail. The approach taken here relates to many pressing issues in contemporary housing, including the avoidance of urban sprawl, the revival of city centers and the ongoing search for innovative housing types.

    How has Berlin's urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man's land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city's most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve-forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large.

  • - Entwurfe seit 2000 / Design since 2000
    av Andreas Rath
    405

    At the time the Viennese company Glasverlag J. & L. Lobmeyr was founded in 1823, glass was becoming the favorite material of designers. Later on cooperations with architects like Josef Hoffmann, Oswald Haerdtl and Adolf Loos resulted in design classics, many of which are still produced unchanged to this day. Lobmeyr, since 2000 under its sixth generation management, has been reconnecting with the heyday of Viennese glass design of the past century. In cooperation with designers from Vienna and the international scene, Lobmeyr is developing impressive design strategies characterized by a sense of quality and willingness to experiment. This book is a bibliophilic statement demonstrating this exceptional product portfolio, illustrating Lobmeyr's recent design developments.

    "e;Why is it really that architects wear black?"e; 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: "e;Please read - and don't ask me why architects wear black!"e;.

Topical photographs by the author on a wide range of international projects present innovative methods and techniques, providing an excellent understanding of the possibilities and requirements of complex steel structures.

  • - Eine Architekturtheorie mit Widerspruchen
    av Angelika Schnell
    405

    2016 New editorship Elisabeth Blum, Jesko Fezer, Günther Fischer, Angelika Schnell Not unjustly referred to as legendary, this series of books on the history and theory of architecture and urban development was founded in 1963 by Ulrich Conrads, who was joined by Peter Neitzke as a co-editor of the series in the early 1980s. Now numbering over 150 titles, it is the most comprehensive German-language book series covering these fields. Following the deaths of the two longtime editors Ulrich Conrads (2013) and Peter Neitzke (2015), a new editorial committee was formed to continue their work: Elisabeth Blum, Jesko Fezer, Günther Fischer and Angelika Schnell. As the future editors of this series, it is our aim to maintain the course set by our forerunners. The series has fulfilled its original aim of taking stock of the constructional and urban planning ideas and realizations formulated and achieved over the twentieth century in exemplary fashion. The Bauwelt Fundament series actually represents a history of ideas in the fields of planning and building that extends from the beginning of the twentieth century into the present. The second objective of the series, one that is anchored in its very name, will also continue to guide the development of the series, namely the publication of foundational thought – authoritative and fundamental – rather than passing opinion, of theses and polemics relating to the burning architectural and urban planning themes of the time. Penetrating complex interrelationships and probing them with systematic analysis provides the prerequisite for fruitful discourse and ongoing debate. As a forum for such discourses and contributions, the Bauwelt Fundamente series is maintaining its focus on the areas of architecture and urbanism, supplementing it with the always necessary historical investigation of important questions and texts and its extension into other cultural and social fields. A strong international orientation and the desire for more female authors are self-evident in such a context. The original graphic design approach taken by Helmut Lortz to the series is being maintained. As is fitting for a working library, Bauwelt Fundamente titles remain simply designed, using black and white for the logo, the images on the front and back, and the eleven-line summary of the volume’s contents. This is indicative of the broad orientation of Bauwelt Fundamente to all those interested in the cultural and social development that provides the context for the creation of cities, houses and other objects, which in turn create contexts for the world. "Architects, it is said – or hoped – have always been interested in the world beyond the boundaries of their profession."

  • - Raum - Material - Detail
    av Edgar Stach
    519

    Es ist unbestritten, dass Mies van der Rohe als einer der bedeutendsten Architekten der Moderne gilt. Aber wie verhalten sich seine Überlegungen und Ideale zur Architektur in seinem gebauten - und teils auch ungebauten - Werk? Dieser Frage geht das Buch anhand von 14 Projekten Mies' nach. Dabei stehen Detaillierung und Materialwahl im Vordergrund. Die Bauten umfassen, beim Haus Esters und Haus Lange (1927-30) beginnend, über das Haus Tugendhat (1928-30), den Barcelona-Pavillion (1928-29), das Farnsworth House (1946-51), den Lake Shore Drive (1948-51) bis hin zur Neuen Nationalgalerie (1962-68), mehrere Jahrzehnte Mies' Wirkens und sowohl seine deutsche, als auch seine amerikanische Schaffensphase.Sämtliche Zeichnungen sind durch den Autor einheitlich neugezeichnet.

  • - Principles of Construction
     
    469

    The facade is the buildingΓÇÖs interface with its environment. It is here that building physics parameters such as heat, humidity, sound and light interact with the building. All these influences need to be controlled by the building envelope in order to ensure the comfort of the user and the functional performance of the architecture. This introduction explains the most important phenomena and then relates them to design and building practice ΓÇô which materials react in which way to these factors? How do facade systems deal with heat, humidity, sound and light? This practice-oriented book, which is the result of cooperation between an architect and a structural engineer, describes the most important facade materials and constructions under the aspect of their building physics performance.
