Ever since the debates around 1900, led by protagonists 

such as Georg Dehio, Alois Riegl, Paul 

Clemen, and others, modern monument preservation 

has been regarded as a value-based applied 

historical science. Since that time, monument 

preservation theory has been shaped by 

the search for objectifiable criteria that can be 

applied to the valuation and rating of traditional 

architectural structures and the assessment of 

their practical effectiveness as cultural monuments. 

The articles in this volume trace the 

theory of valuation from a historical perspective 

and present an overview of current issues and 

problems. The book presents aspects of monument 

preservation in relation to urban planning, 

as well as debates about recent issues concerning 

iconography and cultures of remembrance 

and how they affect monument preservation.

In addition, there are summaries of the history 

of terminology and of the development of the 

theory behind selected historical valuations.

project “Denkmal – Werte – Dialog. Historischkritische 

Analyse und systematisch-praktische

At vacant sites, second hand spaces draw on 

the atmosphere, the traces, the remains, and 

the history of their previous uses. Their actors 

develop an individual aesthetic out of the 

site that stands out due to its simplicity and 

improvised quality. New ideas are tested, and 

elements of surprise are created in the city. 

Second hand spaces evolve against the background 

of different demands on urban spaces 

and provide opportunities for interaction, par-

What challenges does urban residential building 

face today? How can cities adapt to changing 

demographic, economic and ecologic 

circumstances, as well as to the new requirements 

of future residents? What is currently 

considered as exemplary residential building? 

These were the questions posed by the 

“Ungewöhnlich Wohnen!” (“Unusual Living”) 

contest, held by the city of Bremen in 2011. 

It sought proposals for five housing developments 

from the nineteen-fifties and nineteensixties. 

The objective was to amalgamate hybrid 

usages, such as living and working etc., 

integrating them into the city and society. 

German 

The city was also to be made more attractive 

for newcomers. 

This book provides detailed documentation of 

the five winning designs by Spengler-Wiescholek 

(Hamburg), Arno Brandlhuber, Finn Geipel, 

BarArchitekten (all from Berlin) and Kempe Thill 

(Rotterdam). These exemplary models of qualitative, 

sustainable and achievable residential 

buildings are complemented by twenty further 

projects in Bremen, whose standards and aspirations 

are on a par with the award-winning 

designs.

Under what cultural conditions is qualitative 

design possible at the beginning of the twenty-first 

century? What concrete impact does 

successful design have? 

The answers to these questions are to be 

found less in the objects themselves than in 

the people who use these objects and are 

defined by their use. This book considers 

the cultural environment in which designing 

takes place, as well as its impact on people’s 

Architecture Tendencies 

German 

lives. Successful design is understood as responsible 

design and therefore has ethical 

connotations, because design as long-term 

action sets standards that it has to adhere to. 

The contributions to the book are based 

largely on the presentations made at the 

Werkbund conference in September 2011 

(German Work Federation of Architects, Artists 

and Builders), held at Goethe University 

in Frankfurt/Main.

As a result of the energy transition brought 

about by the nuclear reactor disaster in Fukushima, 

the number of wind energy plants 

in Germany will increase further significantly. 

Already now they are a prominent feature of 

the landscape in many places. The plants are 

not undisputed: ecologically they undoubtedly 

make sense, but their conspicuous presence 

in the landscape is also vehemently contested. 

This book considers the question of how 

wind energy plants can be integrated appropriately 

and aesthetically into the landscape 

German 

and provides concrete suggestions for solutions 

regarding the positioning and layout of 

the masts. For the first time the wind energy 

plants are viewed not in isolation, but in relation 

to a comprehensive landscape aesthetic. What 

qualifies as a beautiful landscape nowadays? 

Which natural, cultural, historical, and contemporary 

elements, structures, and significances 

is it composed of? And how can wind energy 

plants be integrated into this?

Sustainable planning and building have become 

a key issue in architecture. Climate 

change, resource depletion and economic crises 

are also increasingly forcing architects and 

planners to question traditional methods and 

solutions. In recent years, research institutions 

and universities, as well as architecture and 

engineering companies, have started to seek 

new concepts for the implementation of sustainable 

architecture and urban development. 

Münster School of Architecture held a series 

of symposia in summer 2011, in which these 

topics were debated extensively with international 

experts. Building the Future provides a 

summary of the scope and significance of current 

concepts. The aim is to present a compre- 


German, parTly enGlisH 

hensive overview of approaches to sustainable 

building and their implications. The contributions 

by renowned authors represent the current 

status of research in this area and suggest 

innovative approaches and solutions for the 

architecture of the future.

What influence do new media have on active 

participation and involvement in the city? How 

can planning be democratically legitimized? 

What are the challenges faced by planning law 

and procedures, as a result of the increasingly 

vocalized requests for participation? And in 

what ways can and should citizens’ contributions 

complement the knowledge of experts? 

The involvement of civil society is a synonym 

for the willingness to shape the living environment, 

therefore it is increasingly becoming a 

permanent feature of politics and planning. 

Volume 6 of the IBA series discusses the opportunities 

brought by this development and 


its consequences for the future of cities. Practical 

examples afford insight into the planning 

and participation methods of several German 

cities and world regions. The experiences IBA 

Hamburg have had with very varied participation 

models, commented on from a range of 

perspectives, form a central point of focus. 

Lastly, it is about the relationship between 

planners and politicians on the one hand and 

citizens on the other, and how the planning 

procedures should adapt to the constantly 

changing social circumstances in a forwardlooking 

and innovative way.

Architektur + AnAlyse 

“architektur + analyse” is a series of books by the Institute of Architectural Theory, History of Art and 

Cultural Studies at Graz University of Technology, edited by its director Anselm Wagner. The series 

deals with topics relating to international architecture and architectural debates of the twentieth 

and twenty-first centuries, including certain regional issues of international relevance that have an 

impact on the current discussion. All the volumes take a critical and analytical approach to architecture, 

which is always presented within a wider cultural, social, and political context. The spectrum 

ranges from the monographic analysis of exemplary buildings to the discussion of theoretical issues 

regarding future developments. 

“architektur + analyse” is targeted towards architecture and art history experts and students, as 

well as towards architecture enthusiasts. Volumes of the series will be in German or English.

lAndscript 

“Landscript” is a publication on landscape aesthetics inviting authors 

from different disciplines to invest some thought on established modes 

of perceiving, representing and conceiving nature. Anchored at the 

Chair of Landscape Architecture of Professor Christophe Girot at the 

ETH in Zurich, it is steered by an editorial board comprised of distinguished 

international experts from various fields of visual studies, landscape 

design research as well as philosophy. The publication warrants 

excellence in theory and acts as a revelator of conventional perceptions 

of landscape. The goal of “Landscript” is to cultivate the debate on landscape 

aesthetics at a scholarly level. It will examine what conceptual 

tools are at our disposal to transcend the banal deductive commentary 

of landscape analysis we have grown accustomed to and discuss these 

issues openly and critically by focusing on the way we actually think, 

look and act upon landscape sites and nonsites today. As a discussion 

platform for the contemporary aesthetics of landscape, “Landscript” 

will rekindle a theoretical debate that has been seriously lagging behind 

in the present visual and environmental revolution.

SPEECH Tchoban & Kuznetsov is a trendsetting 

and international architecture office in 

Moscow. The architects – the German Sergei 

Tchoban born in St. Petersburg and Sergey 

Kuznetsov from Moscow – are rooted equally 

in Western and Eastern Europe with their architecture 

and engage in applying the building 

culture values of each of these cultural spheres 

to the other. In Russia there is demand for 

functionality and planning culture, as well as 

western building standards in terms of expertise 

and technology, whilst in the west the 

architects see the need to fill the gap as re- 


gards architecture as an art form, emotionality, 

and love of ornamentation. They publicize their 

views on building culture and building standards 

through their own bilingual architecture 

magazine called “speech”, exhibition activities, 

and a design for the Museum of Architectural 

Drawings in Berlin, as well as through their 

many buildings and urban development plans 

in Russia. The book presents the philosophy, 

values and themes of the SPEECH project and 

shows how they were concretely put into practice 

in the buildings created by the office.

Should the circumstances and tendencies of 

the current state of the world be allowed to 

affect architecture? That is a fundamental and 

frequently recurring question as regards the demands 

placed on architecture. 

Not only the form, but also the structure, organization, 

appearance and appeal of buildings are 

governed by permanent criteria. Based on the 

assumption that people’s spatial requirements 

and design aspects resulting from construction 

requirements are of a stable nature, the answer 

to the question above is no. Instead, architecture 

is subject to a constant process of evaluation 

and assessment according to fundamental 


German 

architectural principles, which are subsequently 

interpreted and shaped individually for each 

new project. 

This book presents selected buildings by Petra 

and Paul Kahlfeldt. A common feature of all of 

their projects is that, regardless of their purpose 

and their type of function, they all adhere to the 

same principles. Therefore the buildings are not 

presented chronologically and individually, but 

in thematic sequences. This enables the clear 

identification of principles, relationships, connections 

and similarities. Furthermore, it brings 

architecture to the fore as a cultural form of 

building.

The Japanese architect Atsushi Kitagawara 

has been firmly established in the architecture 

scene of his homeland for 30 years. He 

is a protagonist of an artistically shaped and 

expressionistic architectural style, which celebrates 

the experience of space, without 

losing sight of the functional requirements. 

Through numerous award-winning projects, 

such as the Nakamura Keith Haring Museum, 

he is constantly exploring new means of construction, 

composition and usage of materials. 



He thereby creates complex spatial structures 

and façades, which challenge the conventional 

viewing patterns of the user, whilst never diminishing 

the human criteria. 

This volume from the PORTFOLIO series is 

the first monograph outside of Japan to present 

prominent current and older projects by 

Atsushi Kitagawara Architects by means of

General planning signifies the renaissance of 

the master builder, in the sense of a building 

manager with overall responsibility, who brings 

all the lines of work together. In an engineering 

office that practices general planning, all the 

important specialist engineers cooperate with 

architects from the very beginning of the project, 

as partners on an equal footing. This can 

reduce conflicts of interest and liability risks, 

especially when applied to complex large-scale 

projects, such as hospitals, schools and industrial 

buildings, and it facilitates coordination for 

the owner of the building. 

German 

However, there are two even more important 

aspects: firstly, the benefits for the owner of 

the building, resulting from having a general 

planner and from the synergies that occur 

when the project team develops integrated 

solutions with regard to the planning objectives. 

Secondly, general planners can work 

more economically and flexibly than a general 

contractor. 

This book documents aspects of the qualitative 

and economic added value afforded by 

general planning, through 20 expert contributions 

featuring examples of buildings realized 

successfully by agn niederberghaus & partner

Following the Football European Championship 

UEFA EURO 2012, in this book the Akademie 

der Künste in Berlin focuses on the stadium as 

a key public space and as a venue for holding 

mass events. 

Volkwin Marg, a member of the Akademie and 

a founding partner of gmp von Gerkan, Marg 

and Partners architects, presents the historicocultural 

interplay of sport, architecture, and fan 

culture, together with the historian of architecture 

Gert Kähler and Michael Kuhn (gmp). 

engliSH edition: 

enGlisH 

The content of the six chapters ranges from 

the sacred background to contests in ancient 

times to the current politicization and commercialization 

of sport. The authors place sport and 

sporting venues in the context of social and 

political circumstances in ancient times, under 

National Socialism and in the post-war era, 

with the stadium as the architectural reflection 

of the social structure.

gmp architects and the structural engineers 

schlaich bergermann und partner have designed 

stadia that have hosted some of the most prestigious 

sporting events in the world—in Germany, 

South Africa, Brazil, China, and India. For the 

European Championships in 2012 in Poland and 

Ukraine, the offices have again partnered to design 

and realise two new stadia in Warsaw and 

Kiev that, along with their design for the new 

arena in Bucharest, represent the state of the 

art of stadium design. 



This book tells the stories of the three cities and 

their stadia and presents the architecture of the 

new sporting arenas that now provide the Eastern 

European Football Associations with venues 

of the highest international standard.

Can aesthetic concepts reflect and provide answers 

for ethical aspects and issues? Is “more 

ethics, less aesthetics” applicable, according 

to the motto of the Venice Biennial for architecture 

in the year 2000? Or isn’t “more aesthetics” 

in fact just what is required to encourage 

reflection about ethical responsibilities and 

dimensions in architecture, art, and design? 

This publication is a collection of reflections 

about the ethical and political dimensions of 


creations, presented from the point of view 

of art, architecture, design, and curatorial practice. 

The contributions range from historical 

reviews to future-oriented outlooks, illustrating 

interdisciplinary connections.

The man-made peninsular Palm Jumeirah on 

the coast of Dubai is a superlative project and 

an exemplary model for the Gated Communities 

and Resorts that have developed worldwide 

in property bubbles. The development 

may be spectacular, but cannot conceal the 

fact that the former marketing success story is 

faced with serious problems. How can an isolated 

anti-urban exclave be opened up and integrated? 

Can issues concerning networking, 

the public sphere and affordable housing, as 

well as climate change adaptation, biodiversity 


enGlisH 

and the supply of energy be resolved through 

targeted tactical interventions? 

The Charter of Dubai is a manifesto of critical 

urban transformation. It subversively encourages 

the conversion of isolated quarters into 

a socially and ecologically open urban space. 

The detailed catalog of the individual measures, 

richly illustrated with clear sketches and 

references, make the Charter a handbook for 

urban transformation that takes social and ecological 

aspects into account.

Where language fails, pictures take over! 

This book shows for the first time the entire cycle of 56 “autobiographical” 

pictures by Günther Uecker. The well-known 

painter, bookmaker, graphic designer, sculptor and object artist 

has set high standards in many fields. 

What makes this title special is that the artist largely determined 

the design and layout of the book. His handwritten introduction 

to the themes is printed in the book as a facsimile.

A well-known painting by Koen Vermeule is titled out and about. 

It defines his work as a whole, because the artist, who lives 

in Amsterdam, is constantly travelling all around the world. His 

paintings originate on the streets. He focuses in on them, starts 

to shape them and to invent stories. His art is related to street 

art and comics, which is where his art began. His artistic language 

is as vibrant as life itself.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Bern and the Lentos Museum of Modern 

Art in Linz are presenting a comprehensive retrospective on the Irish- 

American artist Sean Scully, who is one of the most important representatives 

of contemporary abstract painting. 

Scully has created an astounding range of atmospheric paintings. His 

works are composed of striped patterns with strict lines and strongly 

contrasting colors. He applies layers of different shades of color with 

coarse paintbrushes, whereby the layers below shine through in varying 

degrees. It appears as if the layers of color are communicating with 

each other and with the viewer.

The actual focus of the traveler series is on the works which mention 

famous personalities in the history of the discovery of Nueva 

Espana in their title, evoking a wide range of contexts with regard 

to the power of imagination of our present-day world view. It starts 

with the letter to humboldt in 2009, a work which contrasts the 

spirited animism of the indigenous view of nature with the systematic 

analysis of the Prussian polymath, who undertook a research 

expedition to America from 1799 to 1804 and also crossed Mexico.

The Kunstquadrat series is dedicated to twenty-first century art, presenting 

it in all its diversity. The series combines classical bookbinding 

(half-cloth with embossing) with contemporary art. The purpose 

is to present new works by the older generation of painters, as well 

as to seek out the innovations of the younger generation, who are 

constantly driving new developments within fine arts. 

collector’s editions: The Kunstquadrat series offers not only very 

personal and individual books about contemporary artists, but also 

artist’s editions with prints, hand drawings or paintings. 

Peter Schnürpel completed his art education 

in the nineteen-sixties at the famous Leipzig 

University of the Arts. His early sketches regarding 

the world of sport already showed his 

ability to go beyond the narrow subject matter 

and make universal statements. His figures 

represent exclamations or a lapsing into 

silence, are motionless or driven by high levels 

of dynamism. Furthermore, he makes expert 

use of light and dark contrasts, of making an 

illuminated form emerge out of the dark, of 

German 

figures disappearing into the shadows, of the 

flashing of a ray of hope in the distance… 

For the first time the pages of this book bring 

together graphics that use a range of techniques 

(etching, serigraphy, lithography) and 

set them against later overpaintings. They 

show the artist’s striving to find universal ways 

of expressing existential aspects of life, such 

as love and happiness, joy and sorrow, finiteness 

and death.

Aylin Langreuter’s art can not be pigeonholed. 

Concept art, object art, design, graphics, 

sculpture: none of these wholly define 

her art, although it contains elements of each. 

Her intellectual and artistic work lies somewhere 

between obvious delight in the objects 

and their philosophical significance. She creates 

objects that can not be used, develops 

scripts that can not be read, thereby placing 

her objects outside of reality in the realm of 

the individual imagination. “However, it is not 

At first glance Helge Leiberg’s elongated figures 

with their thin bodies and big hands seem 

to remain motionless in their places, but with 

intent observation movement suddenly comes 

into play: the words that spring to mind include 

swinging, strutting, gyrating and dancing. It is a 

kind of expressive dance that mirrors the soul, 

revealing emotions such as excitement and 

passion, affection and disgust. As a rule the 

artist forms his figures spontaneously, without 

preparatory drawings, just like the impression-

my primary objective to divest my objects of 

their actual function, it just happens along the 

way. This is important and inevitable, if you accord 

them their own free will.” This book presents 

two new work groups of the young artist: 

“on/off” – Blindlights/Neonetchings and the 

“Schriftstücke“ (written works). In both of these, 

the intriguing private world full of beautiful, absurd, 

and mostly joyous things unfolds. The third 

chapter of the book presents works from “a long 

time ago.” 


ist “painter-sculptors” Renoir and Degas before 

him. 

Helge Leiberg has incorporated dance into his 

performances on an equal footing with painting 

and music, and his works as a draftsman 

and artist’s books are also characterised by 

many variations of dance. In his sculptures – all 

collected for the first time in this publication – 

he succeeds in condensing these many forms 

of expression into moments of tremendous 

tension and concentration.

The serviceplan collection follows a clearly 

defined concept: Abstract Art since 1948 of a 

high aesthetic standard. This guiding principle 

is reflected in the introductory essay by Prof. 

Helmut Friedel, the director of the Lenbachhaus 

museum in Munich: “Indescribably beautiful. 

Abstraction!” 

At the beginning of the twentieth century, 

abstract art was the progressive driving force 

of the modern era, until the National Socialist 

regime in Germany imposed a painting ban 

on all the important protagonists of this art 

genre. This verdict also affected most of the 

painters in the serviceplan collection. The year 

1948 became the starting point for a new era 

Symbolistische Abstraktion 

Absolute Malerei 

ernst Wilhelm nAy 

hekAte PhAse 

kleine Verkündung i, 1945 

Und das sind die Bilder der Sammlung Serviceplan aus allen vier abstrakten Phasen: 

FugAle PhAse 1949-1951 

In der sogenannten Hekate Phase hat Nay nach 1945 seine bedrückenden Kriegsjahre 

und die Hoffnung auf Freiheit, Unabhängigkeit und einen Neubeginn seiner 

Kunst verarbeitet. Das Thema ist der Mensch, die Farben sind zum Teil berauschend 

schön, die Formen eruptiv, expressionistisch, die Darstellung bleibt allerdings im 

Wesentlichen noch recht gegenständlich. 

Ab 1949 ändern sich die private Lebensverhältnisse von Nay – Ordnung kehrt ein 

durch die zweite Eheschließung –, und er befasst sich mit der Anfertigung von 

zehn Farblithografien, die ihn zwingen, seine Formen in Einzelteile zu zerlegen und 

nach Farben getrennt auf die Lithosteine zu übertragen. Diese durch die Technik 

erzwungene „Analyse und Synthese“ (Werkverzeichnis II, S. 294) veranlasste Nay, 

auch das Ergebnis seiner Bilder nach klar konturierten Symbolen, Zeichen und geometrischen 

Formen zu ordnen. Es entstehen Bilder, die zwischen gegenständlicher 

und ungegenständlicher Kunst liegen. Die kunstinteressierte Öffentlichkeit nahm 

nur wenig Notiz davon, was Nay, der sich seiner Arbeitsweise immer sehr sicher 

war, erst recht zu einer besonders großen und reichhaltigen Produktion veranlasste. 

„Figurale-Ballett“ nennt Nay das Bild unserer Sammlung, so wie viele Bilder dieser 

Phase musikbezogene Titel tragen. Man erkennt auch andeutungsweise Elemente 

von Notenschlüsseln und durch Wiederholungen und formale Umkehrungen, die 

zu einer klaren, komponierten Bildordnung führen, diesen „fugalen“ Charakter, der 

einen tatsächlich an eine Figur von Bach erinnert. Das Bild unserer Sammlung aus 

der zeitlichen Mitte der fugalen Phase, ist in zurückhaltenden, dezenten Farben 

gemalt – unspektakulär und beruhigend in der Wirkung. Ausgestellt wurde es 1950 

in Bad Schwalbach.

of modern art. During the twelve years of the 

painting and exhibition ban, a backlog of pentup

Norbert Wagenbrett studied at Leipzig University, 

which had been dominated for decades 

by the art concepts of Werner Tübke, Bernhard 

Heisig and Wolfgang Mattheuer. This “intellectual 

painting” was a fertile basis for the artist´s 

portraits of people, which were also rooted 

in the New Objectivity and the verism of the 

nineteen-twenties and nineteen-thirties. However, 

Wagenbrett is concerned with the present 

day, fervently seeking people’s unknown 

faces behind their everyday masks. With his 

highly disciplined and delicate painting technique, 

he expertly succeeds in making what is 

Unterwegs, 2012 


characteristic about his models, and their socalled 

“inner life,” visible. 

“I approach people and look for their dreams 

and find their fears, discover degrees of similarity, 

see portraits. They are portraits of these 

particular people, infinitely unique, incomparable 

with any other object in the world, and 

yet in everyday public life the faces seem to 

resemble each other, to blend into one and to 

merge, in the same way as thoughts, which 

are no longer one’s own.”

Since professionalization began, female graphic 

designers have been working actively and 

successfully, but the artificial synthesis of 

masculinity and artistic genius has repeatedly 

prevented women—with few exceptions—to 

be recognised in “official” design history. Still 

today, despite the claim that the gender issue 

is obsolete in graphic design, only a tiny percentage 

of active female designers enjoy public 

acclaim. 

This opulently illustrated volume finally sets 

out to fill this gap. It presents the most significant 

female designers and portrays their paths 

to professionalization, with numerous short 

biographies alongside essays, sources and detailed 

discussions with currently well-known 

female designers.

For decades, an inner-city wilderness had developed 

in the very heart of Berlin, on a postwar 

wasteland to the south of Potsdamer 

Platz. 2009 brought tabula rasa for the site of 

the former railway station Anhalter Bahnhof. 

The municipality, investors and citizens’ movements 

competed for planning opportunities 

and a share in the sought-after open space.

What role does light play in painting? This handbook 

pursues one of the central questions of 

art history and discusses the following questions, 

amongst others, by means of incisive 

essays: What distinguishes the new medium 

of oil painting in the so-called Golden Age as 

regards painting techniques that express new 

light effects? How does chiaroscuro as a representative 

medium define the illusion of space, 

picture composition and temporality? What

The two Swiss curators Francine Eggs and 

Andreas Bitschin present installations, audio 

and interactive works, spatial drawings, photographs, 

and performances, which were created 

on site by 20 Swiss and Berlin artists and give 

the park landscape a new aesthetic and cultural 

dimension. The works are commented on in 

detail in the exhibition’s accompanying book 

of the same name. The site and the exhibition 

overlooking the park, as a cultural landscape, 

are presented through comprehensive essays.

role does the camera obscura device play in 

the experience and creation of new forms of 

perception? How does seventeenth-century 

painting influence contemporary visual culture? 

A selected bibliography and a glossary of 

terminology relating to painting with light are 

included.

30 scenarios form the basis of this book, presenting 

30 opportunities to consider Europe 

from the point of view of art. Ten curators from 

Brussels, Istanbul, London, Łódź, Minsk, Novi 

Sad, Oslo, San Sebastián, and Taipei were invited 

to develop three scenarios each, representing 

ways one might approach the variegated 

Art conTemporary arT 


entity of Europe, its heterogeneity and diversity 

of voices. Art hereby raises its voice in the 

debate about the lack of an identity in Europe, 

its financial crisis and its prospects for the future. 

The curators and the artists they invited 

deal with the theme of Europe from various 

perspectives.

Annett Zinsmeister works with space and architecture, 

with structures and elements that 

are taken out of their conventional contexts 

and reassembled into new spaces and compositions. 

She combines various disciplines (architecture, 

art, design, science) and deals with 

the subject of architecture through sketches, 

photographs, installations, films and sculptured 

spaces. The focus is on modular principles, 

structures, dealing with utopias and the 

identity of spaces, with social interaction, communication, 

and the transformation of urban 

Art arcHiTecTure 


spaces. Her works challenge our perceptions, 

reveal daily habits, open up new perspectives 

and the unexpected potential of inhospitable 

and abandoned spaces. They prompt urban intervention 

and transformation processes. 

This book provides, for the first time, an overview 

over Annett Zinsmeister’s frequently published 

transdisciplinary works. 

With contributions by Kai-Uwe Hemken, Claus 

Pias, Simone Schimpf and others.
