Dear Readers and Colleagues,<br />

We are proud to present our new releases for the autumn of 2013 under our new name, AMBRA VERLAG.<br />

We hope you find our list of publications as good as we do!<br />

About AMBRA VERLAG<br />

AMBRA | V is the result of the takeover of the <strong>Architecture</strong>, <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Culture</strong> division from Springer <strong>Verlag</strong> by<br />

Medecco Holding. The team you know, consisting of Angela Fössl, Mag. Angelika Heller, Tanja Szabo und myself<br />

shall continue to be in charge of making the publishing ideas of our editors and authors a reality with the same<br />

high quality and worldwide distribution services.<br />

With AMBRA, we would like to continue along the path that has proven so successful to date, while also keeping<br />

an eye on the possible innovations our new publishing house offers for our work.<br />

Modern Construction Envelopes<br />

The second edition of the popular textbook on building shells by Andrew Watts, the London-based façade<br />

specialist (www.newtechnic.com) is due to be released this fall. The book has been updated and received a new,<br />

crisp layout in line with that of the recently published third edition of the Modern Construction Handbook.<br />

Dense Atmosphere<br />

There has been a lack of actual construction density values and insights when it comes to creating the most<br />

pleasant living spaces possible until now. The new volume on this subject by Dietmar Eberle (ETH) and Eberhard<br />

Tröger was conceived to address this need. It is of inestimable value as a planning aid for our cities, which are<br />

increasingly becoming the preferred sites for our planet’s population.<br />

I wish you great success with our list of new releases for the upcoming autumn season and enjoy reading our<br />

catalogue for starters!<br />

All the best,<br />

The city and its density: a quality of life indicator<br />

Mit der Dichtekategorie 1 beginnt die Analyse in locker<br />

bebauten Quartieren an den Rändern der Städte. Wer in eine<br />

solche Lage zieht, sucht ganz bestimmte Qualitäten. In den<br />

meist freistehenden und von Gärten umgebenen Häusern<br />

leben Menschen, die ein sehr geschütztes, intimes und privates<br />

Wohnen im Kontakt zur Natur suchen.<br />

Historisch sind diese Siedlungen fast immer Erweiterungen der<br />

traditionell gewachsenen Stadtstrukturen, die am Anfang des<br />

vorigen Jahrhunderts als Reaktion auf die sprunghaft ansteigenden<br />

Bevölkerungszahlen und die Auswirkungen der Industrialisierung<br />

entstanden. In dieser Zeit verdichtete sich das Stadtleben<br />

in dramatischer Weise und die hygienischen Zustände<br />

verlangten nach raschen Lösungen. Eine weitere Verdichtung<br />

der Innenstädte schien unter den gegebenen Voraussetzungen<br />

nicht mehr möglich. Und so entwickelten viele Städter eine<br />

starke Sehnsucht nach frischer Luft, Licht und Sonne. Unabhängig<br />

von ihrem Stand suchten besonders Familien aller<br />

Einkommensklassen nach einem gesunden Leben in grüner<br />

Umgebung. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelte Ebenezer<br />

Howard am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts die Idee der Gartenstadt.<br />

Vom industriell besonders belasteten Grossbrittannien ausgehend<br />

erhoffte man sich von deren Grundsätzen bald im<br />

ganzen industrialisierten Mitteleuropa eine Entspannung der<br />

überlasteten Stadtzentren. Zunächst auf genossenschaftlicher<br />

Basis fussend, bauten viele Städte nach englischem Vorbild<br />

solche Quartiere in städtischer oder privater Trägerschaft,<br />

allerdings ohne den Anspruch, je das Gesamtbild von Howards<br />

Gartenstadt­Vision vollumfänglich umsetzen zu wollen.<br />

Die durchgrünten Stadterweiterungen ergänzten eher fragmentarisch<br />

und pragmatisch die bestehende Stadt. Entweder<br />

entstanden sie in landschaftlich begünstigten Gebieten, oder<br />

auf Flächen, die auf einfache Weise die Erschliessung günstigen<br />

Baulandes ermöglichten. Gemeinsam ist den einzelnen Quartieren<br />

eine gewisse flächenhafte Homogenität in ihrer städtebaulichen<br />

Struktur. Als neue Siedlungsgebiete wurden sie<br />

planmässig am Reissbrett entworfen und nach den jeweiligen<br />

Bedürfnissen oder den Idealvorstellungen ihrer Erbauer in ihrer<br />

Zeit angelegt. Aufgrund dieser strukturellen Geschlossenheit<br />

verbinden sich bis heute viele dieser Vorstadtsiedlungen kaum<br />

mit den angrenzenden Stadtgebieten. So entstand mit den<br />

Jahren der städtebauliche Flickenteppich, der unsere Vorstädte<br />

heute prägt.<br />

Aufgrund ihrer sozialen Struktur kann man diese Siedlungen<br />

grob in zwei verschiedene Katagorien unterscheiden. Einerseits<br />

drängten schon früh wohlhabende Bürger in landschaftlich<br />

bevorzugte Lagen und bildeten Villenkolonien, die mit ihren<br />

individuell gestalteten Häusern und repräsentativen Ziergärten<br />

auf den Genuss der Natur und des eigenen Besitzes abzielten.<br />

Auf der anderen Seite wuchs der Bedarf an günstigem und<br />

gesundem Wohnraum für die vielen tausend Arbeiter in den<br />

Fabriken, deren Anlagen ebenfalls oft an den Rändern der<br />

Städte erbaut wurden. Neubaugebiete auf neu erschlossenem<br />

Bauland und die Bebauung durch kleine Einfamilienhäuser<br />

mit Nutzgärten konnte auch dieser besonders stark wachsenden<br />

Bevölkerungsschicht ein weitgehend selbstbestimmtes<br />

Leben ermöglichen und die zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts<br />

besonders wichtige Selbstversorgung sichern. Gerade in und<br />

nach den Kriegsjahren wurde dieser Aspekt existenziell wichtig.<br />

Zufallsprinzip ungewöhnliche fiktive<br />

In view of progressive landscape use and<br />

the growing flow of traffic, the discussion<br />

of the reasonable degree of construction<br />

density is becoming increasingly heated.<br />

Actual values and insights on which form<br />

of development creates the most pleasant<br />

living spaces are still missing. This book<br />

offers a thorough study of the relationship<br />

between the characteristics of construction<br />

density and the ensuing atmospheres,<br />

distribution of uses and their value. 36 case<br />

study examples in Zurich, Vienna, Munich<br />

and Berlin were documented and assessed,<br />

from the outskirts to the center of the city<br />

with photographs and detailed map material<br />

according to nine (9) density categories<br />

that take public space into account. This<br />

leads to a unique compendium on the character<br />

of Central European urban spaces!<br />

the first book on Ibos – Vitart<br />

One of the most interesting, emerging<br />

architectural offices in France<br />

Lean and sustainable architectural and<br />

urban design<br />

Beautifully designed book by Ruedi Baur<br />

Ibos-Vitart stands among the most amazing<br />

architecture offices in France and<br />

among the few who have an international<br />

following. Jean Marc Ibos and Myrto Vitart<br />

started their career working with the office<br />

of Jean Nouvel, where they were in charge<br />

with some of his key projects. Soon after<br />

they left Nouvel, their first major work, the<br />

extension and remodeling of Lille Fine <strong>Art</strong><br />

Museum, won the l’Equerre d’argent,<br />

a prestigious award in France. Their design<br />

is the result of a deliberately restrained<br />

attitude. It is rooted in their profound<br />

consciousness of the responsibility of the<br />

architect in society. Delivering lasting buildings,<br />

that value and enrich a place while<br />

serving present and future users and inhabitants<br />

is their goal.This book documents<br />

15 projects extensively – and was designed<br />

by Ruedi Baur.<br />

Monograph on a young Austrian architecture<br />

office from Salzburg<br />

23 realized buildings<br />

Office structures, remodelling of existing<br />

historical buildings, single-family housing ...<br />

LP architektur has created a richly varied<br />

body of work in the ten years it has existed.<br />

The office’s breakthrough came at the 2006<br />

Winter Oympics in Turin with the emblematic<br />

Austria House, in which Tom Lechner,<br />

the LP managing partner blended tradition<br />

with modernity. LP Architektur has won a<br />

number of Austrian architecture awards<br />

since then. In an area defined by turbotourism,<br />

the Salzburg office’s buildings<br />

have become beacons of regional identity<br />

that now reach beyond the borders of<br />

Salzburg. LP architektur sees its designs<br />

as psychograms that are the reflections of<br />

the individual desires and dreams of their<br />

clients. This selection of 23 buildings complements<br />

the works presented in the first<br />

monograph published in 2006 and shows<br />

how broad the spectrum of the architect’s<br />

work has become in the meantime.

the two books by Andrew Watts, Modern<br />

into one single volume and consolidated in<br />

terms of content, which permits the consideration<br />

of facades and roofs as envelopes.<br />

Watts presents the constructive and<br />

is based on a text, photos, and standardized<br />

of the components. The new edition<br />

has 3D views that are easier to understand<br />

than the first edition, with sharper images<br />

and more key explanations.

An inspiring expansion of the contemporary<br />

A2— ALFREDO BRILLEMBOURG & HUBERT KLUMPNER<br />

GRAN HORIZONTE: CURRICULUM FOR A NEW CITY<br />

closely. In the favelas, the bulk of the population is disadvantaged<br />

in one way or another. The lives of children with autism<br />

or Down’s syndrome are particularly difficult, as few public<br />

and private spaces are designed or adapted to fit their needs.<br />

In locating the school for autistic children, known as FAVA, on<br />

a sloping site, it was important for us to leave open as large an<br />

area as possible for a park, which is something rare in the center<br />

of the city. Therefore, we designed the building as a compact<br />

volume and set it in one corner of the site. As a result,<br />

the spatial program extended to a five-story structure. In Caracas,<br />

however, lifts are service-intensive installations and would<br />

make a building of this kind unsuitable for the students, many<br />

of whom experience increased anxiety in elevators. Our solution<br />

was to build a long ramp around the outside of the building.<br />

Access to the first two floors is via the sloped topography.<br />

The development was financed from a new tax conceived to<br />

flow into structures with a social role. Companies can donate<br />

up to 100 percent of their annual tax to finance such schemes.<br />

We work in a complex environment that calls for simple<br />

solutions. That means using available local materials and labor.<br />

Most people believe that low-cost construction must be inferior<br />

to expensive forms of building. We wish to overcome prejudices<br />

of this kind as well as outdated ideas regarding how a<br />

project should be developed. Only if we shift our expectations<br />

away from a product, to a process, and reconsider traditional<br />

development strategies, will we be able to find economically<br />

feasible solutions for the masses of people in the slums. And<br />

only if we do that will we have vibrant cities for every stratum<br />

of society that lives in them. Looking at our Earth as a whole,<br />

we find a new vision for our urban planet, and for all of us who<br />

live within it.○<br />

As the subject of earnest discussion, the<br />

meaning of space reaches far beyond the<br />

horizon of a single discipline. Lukas Feiriss<br />

has assembled a collection of international<br />

contributions for Space Matters, a publication<br />

of the space & design strategies study<br />

program of the Univeristy of <strong>Art</strong> and Design,<br />

Linz, Austria to create an inspiring expansion<br />

of the contemporary discourse on<br />

space. The publication addresses cultural<br />

resarchers and readers in creative professions<br />

– architects, artists, curators, scientists<br />

and students in all the related fields<br />

as well as those members of a broader<br />

audience that are interested in the incorporation<br />

of space and the pratices with<br />

which it is designed in cultural, social and<br />

humanities-oriented contexts.<br />

What is the architect doing in the jungle?<br />

How can architects and natural scientists<br />

immerse themselves in a fruitful dialogue to<br />

generate new insights for cross-disciplinary<br />

innovation? This volume contributes to the<br />

current discussion of arts-based research<br />

with the interdisciplinary research project<br />

BiornaMetics – <strong>Architecture</strong> Defined By<br />

Natural Patterns. Biornametics is an emerging<br />

contemporary design practice which<br />

explores a new methodology that interconnects<br />

scientific evidence with creative<br />

design in the field of architecture. The word<br />

biornametics is generated from “ornament”,<br />

referring to the famous Austrian architect<br />

Adolf Loos, and biomimetics. It concentrates<br />

on the detection of the principles<br />

behind processes of emerging and dissolving<br />

patterns in animate and inanimate<br />

nature. Reflections on the architectural direction<br />

of Biornametics, issues of arts and<br />

science collaboration, and the application<br />

of the methodology show a diverse world of<br />

thoughts and approaches to the topic.<br />

Contributions by internationally recognized<br />

experts from different specialized fields<br />

such as architecture, art, philosophy and<br />

biology<br />

Documentation of the biornametics<br />

research project at the intersection<br />

between art, architecture and bionics<br />

“The Power of Design” provides a compact<br />

introduction to the current eleven UNESCO<br />

Cities of Design. Each individual city is<br />

briefly portrayed with important statistical<br />

information and detailed facts relating to<br />

its development of design. The highly varied<br />

approaches of the individual cities in their<br />

use of design as an engine for current and<br />

future development are then described in<br />

more detail through concrete and well<br />

illustrated examples. In addition, there are<br />

interviews with designers, activists, organizers<br />

and critical observers, which the<br />

author conducted either during his travels<br />

or through extensive correspondence. The<br />

result is a richly illustrated and handy book<br />

which combines hard facts with personal<br />

impressions and points of view.<br />

The fourth and last volume of the series of<br />

publications of the Institute for <strong>Art</strong> in Public<br />

Spaces in Styria, 2006–2011, focuses on the<br />

perspectives for the future of art in public<br />

spaces. Experts from arts, literature and<br />

theory address the meaning and possibilities<br />

of art in public spaces in the society of<br />

today and tomorrow. International initiatives<br />

and the different approaches they<br />

employ in their support for art in pubic<br />

spaces is another central theme of the<br />

book. 24 projects that were realized as art<br />

in public space in Styria in 2011 are documented<br />

with a variety of images and text<br />

contributions. For the first time, a timeline<br />

traces the development from art in construction<br />

to art in public spaces in Styria<br />

since the 1930s to facilitate the understanding<br />

of this complex topic.<br />

The period between 1970 and 1979 led to<br />

far-reaching social change in Austria, the<br />

themes and positions of which were reflected<br />

in the currents that influenced the<br />

contemporary art of the time. The effects of<br />

the Realities exhibition held at the Viennese<br />

Secession in 1968 were still being felt at the<br />

beginning of the new decade. The influence<br />

of actionism also faded, whereas art with a<br />

feminist orientation gradually took center<br />

stage in the public’s interest. <strong>Art</strong>ists used<br />

photography and video for their work, which<br />

also showed a performative dimension.<br />

“New media” successfully emerged in an<br />

artistic context during the 1970s. Towards<br />

the end of the decade, the art of figuration<br />

and ingenious gestures experiences a<br />

revival. The individual catalog contributions<br />

bring light to the development of the collection,<br />

the political culture and the cultural<br />

policies of Vienna, as well as the status of<br />

women in the art of the 1970s.<br />

“Claus Mayrhofer Barabbas. Opposing<br />

artist, who died in Australia in 2009. Born in<br />

Vienna in 1943, he left school at the age of<br />

15 to become an artist. During the sixties he<br />

captivated the art scene with his unconventional<br />

paintings and world of music as the<br />

co-founder of the avant-garde “Masters of<br />

Unorthodox Jazz” formation. This publication<br />

covers his complete works as a painter.<br />

One of the high points of his creative output<br />

An outline of an epistemology for cultural work<br />

chapter i<br />

course about private and public virtue” (Ibid.). If we assume that cultural<br />

work might be on the verge of a new period of intellectual and educational<br />

accomplishment, a number of issues such as human excellence<br />

and a new ecological-cosmopolitical understanding (Sloterdijk 2010:37)<br />

of what we do and how we act pose fundamental challenges for the<br />

post-industrial cultural workplace. In order to create an awareness of the<br />

consequences of our behaviour, as well as to contribute to more sustainable<br />

foundations for a global society and culture, 20 the particular challenge<br />

lies in developing a new compass that could help us to shift values,<br />

“reprogram” our destructive pursuits, and rethink accumulated habits and<br />

collective aspirations, as Reto Ringger suggests (2009:20). 21 However, the<br />

underlying question regarding the future of social, economic and ethical<br />

practices is whether the imperatives of globalised consumer culture<br />

and the forces of commodification and marketization—to which the production<br />

and dissemination of knowledge are vulnerable—have rendered<br />

the world incontestable. 22 Different authors have problematised these<br />

issues from social, economic, political and ecological perspectives (for<br />

example, Altvater 2007; Capra 2002; Castells 2000; Gibbons et al. 1994;<br />

Horkheimer and Adorno 1947). While some have suggested “remoralising”<br />

social, economic and educational practices in the “search for place”<br />

(Banks 2007:145), others have called for future paths towards a renewed<br />

ethic of civic virtue.<br />

20 I do not attempt to provide much elaboration on the term culture, which, especially in recent<br />

years, has undergone yet more transformations of meaning. I use the term in a broader sense to<br />

refer to ways of life, the arts, the media, political, educational and religious culture, and attitudes<br />

to globalization. For the purpose of this book, I suggest that culture, as it is expressed in the arts,<br />

literature, film, and different practices of mediation and representation, draws from and participates<br />

in the construction of culture as a system of human values, beliefs and behaviours.<br />

21 Ringger is a Swiss pioneer of the concept of sustainability investments.<br />

22 Banks notes: “Yet, even now, ongoing transformations in the structure of capitalism appear to<br />

provide cultural industries with the opportunity to obtain even greater shares of wealth, power, and<br />

control (...) [T]he social and economic impacts of globalization now appear to have exacerbated the<br />

scale and scope of the cultural ‘standardization, commercialization, and rigidification’ that Adorno<br />

(...) first identified in the high-modern period” (2007:25). In an essay published after his death,<br />

Adorno in fact reiterated that the “entire practice of the culture industry transfers the profit motive<br />

naked onto cultural forms” (1981; 1991:99), thus anticipating the commercial control of all kinds of<br />

social practices that we can observe today.<br />

The Fragmentation of the Humanities and <strong>Art</strong>s<br />

Introduction<br />

Since World War II research and education have focused overwhelmingly<br />

on science and technology, which has resulted in the marginalization<br />

of the humanities with negative repercussions for both knowledge<br />

and the human community. While the humanities appear to play an ambi-<br />

Fig. 1.1<br />

valent role in modern culture, their intellectual values are at the same time<br />

formed by the social context in which they evolve and are practised, and,<br />

according to Gibbons et al., thus become entangled in markets in a “more<br />

diffuse sense” (1994:91). Formally and academically, the humanities represent<br />

our usual human activities as well as the meaning and values that we<br />

construct in different ways by looking at the world and thinking about life.<br />

Yet, the work of the humanities and the knowledge which they involve are<br />

not one particular thing. Their outcomes and the many forms of knowledge<br />

that they provide are all around us and present in our daily lives. They are<br />

the newspaper we read, the news we watch on television, or the exhibition<br />

we visit in the local art museum. Whether we watch an episode of<br />

Star Trek, read Stefan Zweig’s biography of Marie Antoinette, listen to the<br />

Ritual Orchestra and Chants of the Khampagar Buddhist Monastery, or visit<br />

San Francisco’s Exploratorium, these activities are all part of the humanities.<br />

The humanities are always a manner of commitment that embraces human<br />

knowledge with a central concern for human beings and our self-conscious<br />

awareness of how we know, what we know and how we act. In short, the<br />

Cultural work and knowledge are central<br />

topics of this book<br />

In-depth inquiries into the practices, nature<br />

and theory of postindustrial cultural work<br />

and the humanities<br />

Epistemological, ecological, ethical and<br />

political dimensions of cultural work<br />

2 3<br />

The book conducts in-depth inquiries into<br />

the practices, nature and theory of postindustrial<br />

cultural work and the humanities –<br />

and arts – based civic dialogues which cultural<br />

work promotes. The aim of the book is<br />

to outline an epistemology for cultural work<br />

as well as to reflect upon the prospects for<br />

educational cultural work practices.<br />

A major focus of the book is on the epistemological,<br />

ecological, ethical and political<br />

dimensions of cultural work. This includes<br />

the prospects for a new form of communal<br />

workspace for knowledge and cultural<br />

learning. Cultural work and knowledge are<br />

the central topics of this book.
