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 />

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 />

Sustainable <strong>Architecture</strong> and Urbanism –<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 second edition of Modern Construction<br />
Envelopes was originally based on<br />
the two books by Andrew Watts, Modern<br />
Construction Roofs and Modern Construction<br />
Facades . Both volumes were gathered<br />
into one single volume and consolidated in<br />
terms of content, which permits the consideration<br />
of facades and roofs as envelopes.<br />
Using current examples by renowned architects,<br />
Watts presents the constructive and<br />
material-related details. This presentation<br />
is based on a text, photos, and standardized<br />
detail drawings, as well as 3D representations<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 />

EDUCATION:<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 />
Collection of analyzed and prepared<br />
natural examples for workshops in the field<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 />

Fourth and final volume in the <strong>Art</strong> in Public<br />
Spaces in Styria publication series<br />
Timeline of the development from art in<br />
construction to art in public spaces since<br />
1930<br />
Features around 30 contributions by<br />
Marlene Streeruwitz, Werner Fenz and<br />
Public Think Tank, among others<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 />

documentation of the life and work of the<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 />
was the monumental painting, “The Big<br />
Bang”, which is included in the catalog as a<br />
foldout, but the volume also studies Claus<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.
