Architectural spaces are anchors for our memory. We<br />

find our place in the room by means of our sensory<br />

perception; the brain makes use of surfaces and spatial<br />

systems in order to store and organize the world<br />

we live in. The understanding of this principle forms the<br />

basis for the transfer of the results of recent neuroscientific<br />

research to architectural practice, as discussed<br />

in this book.<br />

Neuroarchitecture links neuroscience, perception theory,<br />

and Gestalt psychology, as well as music, art, and<br />

architecture, into a holistic approach that focuses on<br />

the laws of structure formation and the movement of<br />

the individual within the architectural space. Christoph<br />

Metzger, the author of Building for Dementia and Architecture<br />

and Resonance, analyses buildings designed by<br />

Alvar Aalto, Sou Fujimoto, Hugo Häring, Philip Johnson,<br />

Hermann Muthesius, Juhani Pallasmaa, James Stirling,<br />

Frank Lloyd Wright, and Peter Zumthor in the context<br />

of the Amsterdam School of Architecture and their criticism<br />

of functionalism in order to develop bases and<br />

criteria for a modern, people-related architecture that is<br />

indebted to neuroscientific knowledge.<br />

As a consequence of demographic change, it is increasingly<br />

necessary now and in the future for the architectural<br />

profession to rethink the design of residential<br />

solutions for aging people and especially those with<br />

dementia. With advancing age we are increasingly dependent<br />

on a spatial environment that not only has a<br />

positive effect on us, but also supports our everyday activities<br />

and takes age-related restrictions into account.<br />

A focal point of the new requirements is multisensory<br />

architecture: color and lighting design, sound design,<br />

tactile materials and surfaces, and haptically attractive<br />

forms, creating a spatial atmosphere in which the resident<br />

feels comfortable, providing security and orientation<br />

and fostering motor skills and cognitive abilities.<br />

Building for Dementia has been developed as a guideline<br />

for contemporary and dignified architecture that<br />

meets the requirements of people with dementia and<br />

views them as an integral part of society.<br />

In a world in which already more than half of the population<br />

lives in cities and that has seen a digital revolution,<br />

new ideas are needed for the rapidly growing field of<br />

smart cities from a user experience perspective. More<br />

people than ever before will share the same urban infrastructure<br />

in future, leading to a plethora of challenges.<br />

In order to prepare for this, governments around the<br />

world are heavily investing in smart city technologies.<br />

At the same time thought leaders and scholars argue for<br />

a movement towards smart citizens and more participatory<br />

approaches to city making. A frequently overlooked<br />

aspect within the smart city discourse is the design of<br />

the interface between citizens and smart city systems.<br />

In Making Cities Smarter, Martin Tomitsch dedicates<br />

himself to this issue: he translates principles from user<br />

experience design and their application into the urban<br />

environment to tackle challenges that are unique to this<br />

environment, such as designing for a wide range of<br />

uses and users and integrating physical and digital experiences.<br />

The handbook is the first comprehensive pubblication<br />

to unpack the experience design of smart city<br />

applications that focus on the citizens as the end users.<br />

movements, as well as social disparities, changed our<br />

public spaces? Who is involved in the complex transformations?<br />

Die ambivalente Stadt addresses the increasing fragmentation<br />

of our cities as a reaction to growing political,<br />

economic, and social pressure. The focus is on the<br />

increasing demand for security and monitoring and on<br />

the associated diminishment of freely accessible public<br />

spaces, social mixing, and communal participation. This<br />

is supplemented by the presentation of participative and<br />

self-governed movements that go against these occlusive<br />

tendencies. Furthermore, the role of photography<br />

in urban research is illuminated. The book advocates social<br />

diversity—even in seemingly uncertain times—and<br />

a new relevance of the concept of the Open City.<br />

Events have become a consistent feature of our everyday<br />

life. They are planned professionally, designed with<br />

clever scripting, and convey a sense of exclusivity. The<br />

event concept stands for a specific cross-over area between<br />

economic usage contexts and popular practice<br />

dimensions. Set against this unclear notion, this book<br />

focuses on processes of urban development and the<br />

normative potential of patterns in event production and<br />

reception. On the one hand, urban development and<br />

event production are therefore seen as the drivers of<br />

exclusion processes. On the other hand, eventization<br />

is viewed as an interweaving of production and reception<br />

processes. We all take part more or less actively<br />

in eventization processes and usually also accept them<br />

willingly. The flip side of eventization and the inequalities<br />

that it causes, however, remain mostly invisible. Based<br />

on the example of Zurich, this book examines the question<br />

of how event cultures reorganize and link processes<br />

and practices of social self-understanding.<br />

In the urban centers of Europe, residents are increasingly<br />

demanding not only to participate in the discussion<br />

about the densification of our cities, but also to shape<br />

it actively. It is especially creative planning projects that<br />

succeed in finding new role models and structures for<br />

urban development: artists act as urban developers,<br />

theaters carry out urban projects, curators curate the<br />

city, architects also take on the role of social workers.<br />

This results in new hybrid fields of action that require a<br />

rethinking of established strategies and the constellations<br />

of those involved.<br />

This volume brings together perspectives from quite<br />

different professions at the interface of urban planning<br />

and cultural practice, in order to seek answers to some<br />

central questions: how does this hybridity generate a<br />

contemporary urbanity? How must contemporary institutions<br />

be structured? And how should a new culture<br />

of cooperation be set up to enable a mutual dialog and<br />

transparency in development processes between citizens<br />

and authorities, as well as between the various<br />

stakeholders?

New urbanist fields of work?! Influencing urban development<br />

purposefully and positively can only be accomplished<br />

productively if one goes beyond traditional<br />

disciplinary boundaries. What is required therefore is a<br />

rethinking within urbanist practice.<br />

New Urban Professions—A Journey through Practice<br />

and Theory provides exploratory discussions of phenomena,<br />

reflections and professionalization possibilities<br />

in the various fields of work. In the first section,<br />

a wide variety of practitioners are presented, who try<br />

out suitable development strategies and procedural<br />

approaches. They experiment with professional and<br />

personal competences and reassess the relationship<br />

between creativity and multiple authorship. Theoretical<br />

reflections present a variety of perspectives. Whether,<br />

to what extent, where, and how the emerging necessary<br />

competences can be taught and learnt is also a<br />

decisive factor in the long-term success of collective<br />

urban design of the future. The second part addresses<br />

this topic: what form might a sustainable exchange of<br />

experience take, what curricular consequences would<br />

appear necessary and in what roles, spaces, and spatiotemporal<br />

contexts must one prepare for the coproduction<br />

of the city?<br />

The concepts of metabolism, ecosystems, and circular<br />

economy are currently challenging the discipline of urbanism.<br />

As the shift from linear to circular productionconsumption<br />

patterns seems to be ultimate for reducing<br />

the externalities of our urban environments and to<br />

meet stricter environmental targets, the search for sustainable<br />

territorial metabolism has become imperative<br />

for our metropolitan areas.<br />

This publication questions the European foundation of<br />

urbanism in relation to the challenge of territorial metabolism<br />

and combines theoretical contributions with cutting<br />

edge design proposals for European metropolitan<br />

regions. It synthetizes two years of intensive research<br />

by design on Barcelona, Brussels, and Veneto conducted<br />

jointly by the Laboratory on Urbanism, Infrastructure<br />

and Ecology of the Université libre de Bruxelles<br />

How can dynamic factors and dynamic phenomena outside of metropolitan cores be displayed for debates of<br />

territorial futures? Dynamics of Periphery showcases emerging creative and resilient habitat futures to develop<br />

concepts for metropolitan, urban, and rural networks—with a perspective not on urban margins, but on new<br />

centres for community. The atlas displays integrative process-design, pro-active context-building, and conceptual<br />

narratives as accelerators of change and new concepts in urbanism. These new concepts combine bottom-up<br />

and participatory approaches, the use of territorial capital, and the qualities of liveable spaces into processual and<br />

strategic innovations that cross scales and disciplines. Starting from architecture, urban design, and territorial<br />

planning, this book aims at interfaces between design and research towards dynamic roles of peripheries.<br />

Scenario drawing and pattern analysis are seen as evolving innovative tools for spatial characterisation and visioning.<br />

The design research shown in this book contributes to the project Regiobranding. Targeting three areas in<br />

the Metropolitan Region Hamburg, the project aims at regional visions for new rural-urban alliances in a deeply<br />

transforming spatial context. Scenarios and patterns are displayed as accelerators in knowledge and decision<br />

processes linked to the concept of Regiobranding: to combine imagery, economic positioning, identification<br />

processes, and visions of future habitat. In an architectural-spatial approach, explorative scenarios and relational<br />

patters open up design-driven knowledge production for larger spatial strategies and for territorial planning.

urbanisation in the Northeast of Italy and in Flanders,<br />

the booming cities of Shanghai and Istanbul or the expanding<br />

Oslo, the informal urbanisation of Kigali and the<br />

suburbanisation of Perth. In a second part, four visual<br />

Since the 1980s, a new planning culture has evolved<br />

from critical rationalism in the regeneration of towns<br />

and villages. The principles of separation of functions<br />

and expert planning, as well as of total restructuring,<br />

have been superseded by careful renewal and critical<br />

reconstruction—all based on public discourses about<br />

shaping towns and villages and cultivated in informal<br />

framework planning, cooperative competition procedures,<br />

urban forums, and citizens’ appraisals.<br />

Beyond the urban and rural cores, on the other hand,<br />

the development of landscape is still characterized by<br />

functional planning procedures. Land usages and infrastructures<br />

are developed according to principles of priority<br />

areas, taboo and buffer zones, exclusion criteria,<br />

and spacing regulations. Spatial structure concepts are<br />

usually lacking, as well as regional publicness.<br />

The focus of this book is the question of how dialogical<br />

discourses, models, and procedures with regard to<br />

spatial structural qualities can be transferred from town<br />

and village centers to the planning of rural and suburban<br />

areas. The basis for this is a new social agreement on<br />

landscape.<br />

This atlas of contemporary landscape architecture in<br />

London offers a comprehensive overview of new projects<br />

within public space. Over the past 15 years, major<br />

investments in the infrastructure and housing market<br />

of London have driven the need for high-quality public<br />

spaces. In the course of this development, new public<br />

areas have been created, brownfields have been revitalised,<br />

and already existing gardens and parklands have<br />

been upgraded.<br />

Landscape Observer: London illustrates these spaces<br />

and their design elements with numerous photographs.<br />

Details of the hard and soft landscape elements are labelled<br />

to provide essential information on key materials<br />

and plants used in each individual project. The book<br />

therefore serves as a reference guide and source of inspiration<br />

for landscape architects and urban planners, as<br />

well as for garden designers and political activists in the<br />

field of infrastructure and urban planning. It invites readers<br />

to discover the environmental quality and the design<br />

nomenclatural theme has, in fact, at first glance a decisive influence<br />

on architecture, largely predetermining both its visual<br />

embodiment and all of the main operational characteristics. This<br />

issue is focused on regulations in the broadest sense of the<br />

word—from the urban norms according to which new areas and<br />

cities are built, to energy efficiency standards and fire safety<br />

codes, which no architect can omit from their designs.<br />

The dissolution of the “traditional“ artwork as well as the division of labor within the specified and increasingly intersecting fields of art<br />

and architecture makes a reevaluation of the spatial, curatorial, temporal, and institutional aspects of exhibiting necessary. In particular, the<br />

act of exhibiting is currently being shaped more and more by the embrace of a deliberate refusal of temporal and spatial closure, thus also<br />

bringing forth new sites for investigative (dis)play, media manifestations, and crossover collaborations. GAM.14 collects current positions<br />

from the disciplines of art and architecture that address the potentials of sites of exhibiting to act as laboratory spaces in which the urgent<br />

social, political, and ideological challenges of our time can manifest themselves. The volume includes contributions by Ivana Bago, Nicolas<br />

Bourriaud, Ana Devi, Anselm Franke, Andrew Herscher, Tom Holert, Sami Khatib, Wilfried Kühn, Ana Maria Leon, Maria Lind, What, How<br />

ENGLISH / CHINESE<br />

A neighborhood turns car and motorcycle-free. Its residents try out an ecomobile lifestyle: they walk, cycle, use small electric vehicles,<br />

try an autonomous minibus and the new tramway. It so happened in the Hamasen neighborhood in Kaohsiung, second-largest city on<br />

Taiwan. Ecomobility is economical and environmentally friendly. Ecomobility is the prerequisite for a livable city with streets for people,<br />

not cars. But how feels ecomobility like? How do new mobility habits emerge? How do residents experience their quarter free of cars<br />

and motorcycles?<br />

Going Green documents the mise-en-scène in the framework of the EcoMobility World Festival organized by the city of Kaohsiung in partnership<br />

with ICLEI in October 2017. Authors and photographer accompany citizens on their trips through the city before and—then ecomobile—during<br />

the experiment. The publication shows these stories, and thereby conveys the fascination of a new, future urban mobility.

Stuttgart without fine dust, noisy roads, and crammed<br />

car parks. With vibrant neighborhoods, inviting public<br />

spaces, self-determined mobility, and social participation<br />

for all ages. How could such a transformation be<br />

accomplished?<br />

The currently much-debated approach by the Reallabor<br />

research, in combination with the practical example of<br />

the Stuttgart Reallabor für nachhaltige Mobilitätskultur<br />

(real-life laboratory for a sustainable mobility culture) provides<br />

answers to this. The aim of the Stuttgart Reallabor<br />

is the establishment of a mobility culture that is not only<br />

resource-efficient, but also promotes health and physical<br />

exercise, encourages social interaction, and creates<br />

a new quality of life and living in the city and region. The<br />

principle is to gain knowledge through action and communally<br />

designed real-life experiments. To do so, citizens<br />

researched, experimented, and developed ideas, practices,<br />

and visions together with scientists and students.<br />

The book sketches a vibrant picture of the Reallabor<br />

from the perspective of the various project participants,<br />

from its build-up to the co-productive implementation of<br />

real experiments, bringing together theories, methods,<br />

results, experiences, and impressions. In the process,<br />

the city becomes an experimental space with the potential<br />

for new forms of mutual learning and the development<br />

of sustainable transformation processes.<br />

There is a lack of affordable housing especially in major<br />

cities. Displacement processes have made living in the<br />

centers a privilege in many cases. Furthermore, social<br />

changes and a variety of new life models and lifestyles<br />

influence requirements and expectations regarding<br />

modern-day housing.<br />

Housing has for a long time been the subject of political<br />

and social discourses, but can state-subsidized housing<br />

development find the answers to all these challenges?<br />

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the topic:<br />

from the significant models of the 1920s to the contemporary<br />

situation and current concepts. Architectural and<br />

urban development aspects are a focal point, as well as<br />

legal framework conditions, subsidy measures, building<br />

standards, and the parties involved in the building process.<br />

Expert contributions and essays extend and deepen<br />

individual issues and illuminate the topic of housing<br />

from various points of view, a solution to which is so<br />

decisive for the social cohesion of our society.<br />

The conceptual work by the initiative Home not Shelter!<br />

regarding new forms of housing for refugees and students<br />

was followed in summer 2016 by the first realization<br />

in Vienna. Home not Shelter!—primarily a group of<br />

students at the Technical University Vienna—succeeded<br />

in converting part of an office building into a communal<br />

residence that is now run by a social welfare organization.<br />

The project idea that had emerged as an Austrian<br />

contribution to the Architecture Biennial 2016 was taken<br />

up and developed further.<br />

The publication shows the remarkable cooperation of<br />

those involved, from the building owner to the operator,<br />

the involved universities, a foundation, the students<br />

and the refugees, documenting the whole process. The<br />

result is a convincing model project for alternative and<br />

participative ways of creating places for arrival, living together<br />

In summer 2016, architecture students at TU Kaiserslautern,<br />

together with refugees, built a community house<br />

that they had previously designed themselves in the regional<br />

reception center Spinelli Barracks in Mannheim.<br />

The refugees, who are condemned to a long period of<br />

passivity after their arrival in Germany, were already integrated<br />

into the planning process and had the opportunity<br />

to contribute to actively shaping their environment.<br />

The community house was intended to create a highquality<br />

venue in the center for shared and individual<br />

uses.<br />

The design, construction, and planning and building process<br />

of the experimental wooden structure are documented<br />

in the publication, as well as the cooperation<br />

between the various public parties involved. The extremely<br />

short project period of six months and the incorporation<br />

of students and refugees in the planning and<br />

construction required a precise allocation of tasks and<br />

an efficient pooling of competences of a wide range of<br />

persons involved.<br />

The ubiquitous housing congestion in German metropolises<br />

raises the question of how we would or<br />

should live and reside in cities today. However, one<br />

thing is clear: the problem cannot be solved through<br />

large-scale projects alone. We need to consider fair<br />

housing construction for all that does not destroy the<br />

beauty, sustainability, and quality of life of our cities<br />

through densification.<br />

Based on the example of the conversion of the former<br />

Finkenau women’s hospital in Hamburg, this book<br />

shows how a livable city for all can be created. The<br />

focus is on the upTownhouses project, in which the<br />

townhouse that has a long tradition in London, Bremen,<br />

or Hamburg experiences a renaissance. The typology<br />

of the townhouse between a private home and<br />

a multi-floor residential building can provide answers<br />

to the housing question and results in more than a<br />

mere residential or building form. It embodies a decisive<br />

building block of the anthropological city that<br />

is primarily based on the requirements of people and<br />

therefore represents a new metropolitan residential<br />

world in the twenty-first century.<br />

A Europe without churches—hardly imaginable, but<br />

no longer completely absurd. In rural areas, as well as<br />

in the urban fabric, church buildings are still common;<br />

yet the membership numbers of Christian denominations<br />

are shrinking steadily. The Central German state<br />

of Thuringia represents an example of this development:<br />

of its 2,000 church buildings, 500 stand vacant.<br />

However, churches are not just places of worship: they<br />

are prototypes of public buildings, thus collective action<br />

is required to maintain church buildings as cultural<br />

assets and sites of community. On the occasion of<br />

the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the project<br />

“StadtLand:Kirche—Querdenker in Thuringia 2017”—a<br />

joint initiative of the IBA Thuringia and the Evangelical<br />

Church in Central Germany—has collected 500 ideas for<br />

dealing with church vacancies.<br />

The publication documents the project and presents the<br />

new use proposals as well as the first realization results.<br />

Supplementary essays discuss the theological, political,<br />

and architectural dimensions. The result is a pool of<br />

ideas that encourages the consideration of our (building)<br />

Cafés, restaurants, and hotels are at the core of the impact<br />

of modernity. With these places of taste and leisure,<br />

new architectural forms were promoted, creating the<br />

perfect setting for the public performance and image<br />

cultivation of urbanites in the emerging metropolises of<br />

the world. At the heart of many urban myths, cafés are<br />

celebrated as intangible sacred halls where works of art<br />

have been produced, revolutions plotted, lives made,<br />

and hearts broken. Cafés serve as background to public<br />

display and sociability. The novel reading of the history<br />

of the hotel offers new insight into the context of<br />

social performance, analyzing the development of tourism<br />

with its urbanization of former natural landscapes.<br />

Paris heralded the emergence of the restaurant. As a<br />

cultural institution it represents the century-old culinary<br />

tradition and as such it is an antidote to the accelerated<br />

consumption of fast food.<br />

By outlining the specific architectural, cultural, and social<br />

spaces that helped forming the modern metropolis,<br />

Since opening its shores to the outside world in the late<br />

nineteenth century, Japan has sustained an active relationship<br />

of cultural exchange with the West. Japan's<br />

grand resort hotels, built during the era between the<br />

Restoration of the Meiji Emperor in 1868 until the onset<br />

of war in the late 1930s, are some of the most engaging<br />

and enduring examples of this cross-fertilization. Eager<br />

to champion both its national identity and its status as<br />

a modern nation, Japanese hoteliers looked to adapt<br />

Western hotel standards to the aesthetic and cultural<br />

demands of the Japanese archipelago. With their buildings<br />

they provided glamorous settings in which worldly<br />

Japanese and curious Westerners could mingle. The<br />

grand hotels are romantic hybrids of Beaux Arts grandeur<br />

and Japanese temple and shrine motifs, and offer<br />

the pleasures of both architectural traditions. They straddle<br />

two worlds, being both familiar and exotic to visitors<br />

and locals alike.<br />

Welcoming the West focuses on the history and design<br />

of six of these grand resort hotels: the Nara, the Fujiya,<br />

the Nikko Kanaya, the Fuji View, the Biwako, and the<br />

Gamagori. Built at a pivotal moment when Japan’s architectural<br />

traditions were latent with change and possibility,<br />

they are a manifestation of an unprecedented exchange<br />

of ideas wrought in timber, stone, and concrete.<br />

architectural creativity and composition, including: intimacy<br />

with nature, importance of materials, bipolarity<br />

and diversity, asymmetry, devotion to small space, and<br />

organic form. The key understanding, which pervades all<br />

these characteristics, is that “parts precede the whole.”<br />

The Japanese process of creation begins with designing<br />

parts and details and ends with combining them to one<br />

edifice, instead of starting with a whole structure and<br />

working out the components afterwards.<br />

With Japanese Creativity—Contemplations on Japanese<br />

Architecture Edagawa provides a personal and comprehensive<br />

understanding of Japanese creativity and<br />

the architectural process. The book gives us an inspiring<br />

insight into Japanese culture and identity, which in its<br />

essence is deeply traditional and modern at the same<br />

time.<br />

Social and political change, a belief in progress and ideals,<br />

but also fear and uncertainty characterize the time<br />

“between kidney-shaped tables and postmodernity”, as<br />

the architecture critic Wolfgang Kil once aptly described<br />

the 1960s and 70s. The new departure was especially<br />

evident in architecture: a building boom and technical<br />

progress led to a veritable euphoria about the future and<br />

to a willingness to experiment.<br />

In the meantime, however, the buildings and facilities<br />

from that time have proven in many cases to be a burden,<br />

requiring expensive renovation. Forward-looking<br />

solutions are needed for the careful redevelopment and<br />

adaptation of the existing buildings to modern-day requirements.<br />

This is a good enough reason to address,<br />

without prejudice, an architectural heritage that has had<br />

a significant regional impact, but which is often all too<br />

easily dismissed as inferior.<br />

With a comprehensive catalog section and well-founded<br />

contributions about this time characterized by social<br />

and political upheaval, this book raises awareness of the<br />

merits of a creative and daring architecture. The unique<br />

fundamental work is intended to encourage public discussion<br />

All around the world, new city districts are being realized<br />

that draw on historical typologies and form languages.<br />

In inner cities, new buildings in a historical style<br />

are increasingly replacing established existing buildings,<br />

in order to bring back long-lost historical ensembles or<br />

sought-after images. The phenomenon of retro districts<br />

is complex, with different motivations, constellations of<br />

involved parties and forms of expression. Apart from the<br />

reconstruction of lost buildings, historical structures are<br />

simply copied and placed in a completely new spatial<br />

and socio-cultural context.<br />

This publication examines the phenomenon of historicizing<br />

construction, based on 14 international case studies,<br />

including the Dom-Römer area in Frankfurt, the<br />

Elbing old town in Poland, Hallstatt in China, Poundbury<br />

in England, or the Old Town in Dubai. It presents the<br />

developmental history and status quo of the projects, as<br />

well as the socio-political backgrounds and the debates<br />

sparked by the conflicting interests of those involved.<br />

The Frankfurt old town between Dom and Römer presents<br />

a tense and politically charged construction history<br />

like no other area of the city: starting with the onset of<br />

modernity, when new means of transport required the<br />

forging of roads through the small-scale building developments<br />

of the old town, to the housing development<br />

during the New Frankfurt area, to the almost complete<br />

destruction in the Second World War. The modern reconstruction<br />

plans in the 1950s and 1960s were fraught<br />

with disputes about whether the architecture should be<br />

rebuilt or newly built as modern. In the 1970s, Frankfurt<br />

built the Technical Town Hall and the Historical Museum<br />

in the style of brutalism on Römerberg, followed in the<br />

1980s by postmodern buildings and reconstructions.<br />

Since 2013, other large areas of the historical old town<br />

are being newly developed after the demolition of the<br />

Technical Town Hall.<br />

This book provides an account of the constructional<br />

development of the old town, based on representative<br />

buildings and construction projects. A look at urban developments<br />

in Germany and Europe allow a comparison<br />

of the specific Frankfurt situation. There is a particular<br />

focus on the debate about the pros and cons of old<br />

town reconstruction, as well as its significance for identity<br />

and tradition.<br />

Carl Mühlenpfordt (1878–1944) had already left his<br />

mark on Lübeck before he was appointed by the Braunschweig<br />

Polytechnic in 1914. His reforms turned the<br />

architecture faculty into a well-known educational establishment,<br />

which later caused a stir through his student<br />

network as the “Braunschweig School.” Today the<br />

architect and university teacher is largely unknown. He<br />

had demanded a “New Contemporary Art” for the imperial<br />

era and Weimar Republic with Verve, which went<br />

beyond programmatic Bauhaus, but was led by a belief<br />

in continuity and a will to reform.<br />

This book offers a multilayered contextualization of the<br />

life and work of the architect, illuminating aspects of architectural<br />

and life reform, as well as questions about<br />

the mood among reform architects in the early twentieth<br />

century. The consideration of Mühlenpfordt indicates<br />

the contemporary relevance of his search for identity<br />

in the built environment in current debates about<br />

the city and architecture of the future.<br />

of the UIA, a unique professional organisation that<br />

brings together the architects of the world, in pursuit<br />

of common ideals and targets.<br />

and events helps rediscover how our priorities have<br />

changed. And how they differ across the globe. In<br />

reading between the lines one will be able to gauge<br />

what has been the legacy of actions, or inaction, and<br />

where architects, as individuals and as a profession,<br />

have had a positive influence on the advancement of<br />

causes. So it is a little more than mere history, it is also<br />

Viewing architecture and urban development from the<br />

perspective of building contractors is a much neglected<br />

topic to date in architectural and art history. If mentioned<br />

at all, they are often even seen as potential adversaries<br />

of the architects, as their actions are allegedly<br />

determined solely by the maximization of returns. Artistic<br />

or social aspects of building therefore supposedly<br />

have no noteworthy importance for them. However, it is<br />

the determined entrepreneurial and often very creative<br />

spirit of the contractors that allows the constructional<br />

realization of architectural ideas for buildings.<br />

In view of this, this book is dedicated to the multifaceted<br />

actions of six selected building contractors who<br />

were active when Berlin flourished to become a world<br />

city. The compact articles about their life and work also<br />

seek to illuminate their far-reaching, but largely unknown<br />

influence on the development of the cityscape<br />

In the nineteenth century, cities and urban societies<br />

were subject to enormous shifts of power: the founding<br />

of the nation states in Europe, industrialization, and the<br />

increased mobility that went along with them were accompanied<br />

by tremendous social changes. New parties<br />

strove to participate in shaping society, as well as urban<br />

space. New functions not only promoted the physical<br />

expansion of the developing capitals and metropolises,<br />

but also required a new coding of existing urban structures<br />

to meet the changing requirements and expectations<br />

regarding urban life and society.<br />

Recoding the City asks about the intentions and claims<br />

of the protagonists who shaped the city of the nineteenth<br />

century. Under what conditions did they succeed<br />

in inserting themselves into, overwriting or, if necessary,<br />

even rewriting the existing urban structures? Against<br />

the background of the increasing competition between<br />

cities, public space increasingly became a medium that<br />

conveyed meaning, but also a battleground for ideas and<br />

demands. With an overview of international research initiatives,<br />

the authors examine whether and in what way<br />

this recoding of the city in the nineteenth century still<br />

has an influence on our everyday life today.<br />

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Dortmund<br />

is once again a growing city boasting great achievements<br />

with regard to the transformation of its old industrial<br />

areas. In the last two decades, integrative<br />

strategies for industrial structural change and urbanization<br />

have been developed, scarcely rivaled by any other<br />

former European mining region. The renaturation of the<br />

Emscher river landscape—a project of the century—has<br />

already been completed here.<br />

New addresses, districts, and projects have been<br />

springing up in many parts of the city. The city center is<br />

once again being given a new face, after the functional<br />

aberrations of the post-war period. A campaign targeted<br />

towards the developmental potential of districts supports<br />

the approach of upgrading the city as a whole.<br />

As a book about the current and future status, the innovative<br />

strategies of the Dortmund urban development<br />

policy are presented in themed clusters. It illuminates<br />

leading projects and key areas and presents long-term<br />

governance and participation concepts. The insider report<br />

is linked to outside perspectives. Internal and external<br />

involved parties, observers, and authors all have<br />

their say, resulting in a well-founded documentation of<br />

urban development, urbanity, architecture, building culture,<br />

and landscape design in the third-largest city in<br />

Since the instigating International Building Exhibition<br />

(IBA) Emscher Park (1989–1999), the Ruhr area has<br />

been a pioneer for the transformation of large industrial<br />

areas. The beacon for this process is the disused coal<br />

mine and cokery Zollverein in Essen, a UNESCO World<br />

Heritage Site since 2001. The most significant industrial<br />

monument in Germany is now a tourist attraction, an<br />

economic hub, and at the same time an educational<br />

campus. This success is based on continuous urban<br />

planning that brings together listed existing structures<br />

and new ideas.<br />

The specially developed master plan by Rem Koolhaas<br />

(OMA) and the principle of “preservation through reutilization“<br />

form the basis for all construction activities on<br />

the site. The developments of the last thirty years on the<br />

UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein are an answer<br />

to the question of how heritage protection can be aligned<br />

with the diverging aims of urban development,<br />

the creative industry, and architecture. This volume presents<br />

the individual projects that will be largely realized<br />

by <strong>2018</strong>, and documents through text and images the<br />

successful metamorphosis of the former industrial site<br />

into an international best practice model for handling industrial<br />

A new art of taking action is intended to activate urban<br />

societies and ensure participation—and is therefore a<br />

matter of political responsibility. This book examines<br />

the conditions and possibilities of these artistically initiated<br />

projects within urban space that are aimed at participation<br />

in shaping the city, thereby bringing together<br />

political activism, social work, and urban planning. It<br />

takes a look at the consequences of this mostly explorative<br />

and experimental urban practice for the creation<br />

of new fields of work for a variety of involved parties<br />

and their self-understanding. Supposed utopias are envisaged<br />

communally in these works and tested in realistic<br />

conditions. Art becomes a collective process, a<br />

shared urban practice. The focus is therefore no longer<br />

on merely dealing with and illustrating topics, but on<br />

widespread action targeted towards change. It is therefore<br />

about action instead of negotiation, about art as<br />

communal urban design.

Altogether six volumes form the monograph of Jun Yang. It is structured alongside key issues<br />

and key projects the artist has worked on over the past eighteen years. Formats, papers, covers,<br />

and even his name change with each volume: from June Young, Yang Jun, Tun Yang, Jan<br />

Jung, Yi Chuan to Jun Yang. Having grown up and lived in different cultural contexts, the artist<br />

has often faced variations of his name in spelling and pronunciation. This has formed the point<br />

of departure not only for this monograph but also for many of his artistic projects, which deal<br />

with naming and questions of identity. Consequently, biographical writing itself becomes a<br />

subject of examination.<br />

VOL. 6: Jun Yang<br />

Swiss softcover with dust jacket<br />

16.2 x 22.9 cm<br />

ca. 80 pages<br />

Volume 4 focuses on Jun Yang’s socio-political projects. They address xenophobia, nationalism,<br />

gentrification, and China’s striving for power in the Southeast Pacific. It also introduces<br />

Yang’s realized and not realized projects in public areas. With text contributions by Claudia<br />

Büttner, Martin Fritz, Holger Kube Ventura, Jeff Leung, Barbara Steiner, Jun Yang.

Volume 5 centers on the artist’s personality, alter egos, double and plural identities. With text<br />

contributions by Yuki Okumura, Andreas Spiegl, Barbara Steiner, Jun Yang.<br />

Volume 6 considers various forms of cooperation. Changes in authorship, breaches in identity<br />

construction, reflections on the roles of artist, designer, and editor form the conclusion to the<br />

Monograph Projects. With text contributions by Oliver Klimpel, Barbara Steiner, Jun Yang.<br />

With her latest project Grids and Threads, the multiple<br />

award-winning artist Bastienne Schmidt provides a<br />

minimalist meditation on the concept of white space<br />

and it’s perception. It is inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s<br />

“Three Standard Stoppages,” in which three imaginary<br />

measuring devices underline the arbitrariness to qualify<br />

and quantify something. On one hand conceptual<br />

photography is used in a series of created installations,<br />

where the sense of scale becomes a riddle. Objects and<br />

colorful markers are photographed in the snow from a<br />

bird’s eye perspective, using the white environment as<br />

a blank canvas. The installations were built with recycled<br />

fabrics and colored threads. It is a continuation of<br />

Schmidt’s artistic search for concepts of space and systems<br />

that define them. The second part of the project<br />

consists of mixed media works on Arches paper, where<br />

a punched grid of 8 x 8 inches is divided into one square<br />

inch spaces, which draw light and shadow onto the<br />

white paper. The idea of creating a series of a never-ending<br />

variation of white squares in a reductive process is<br />

related to the artistic search of Agnes Martin and Robert<br />

Ryman. The square grid in white is a quiet reflection on<br />

the concept of a minimal space; the variations, of what<br />

happens inside of the squares, play with the thought of<br />

absolute freedom and absolute constraint.<br />

Bastienne Schmidt’s work is included in the collection of<br />

the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the International<br />

Center of Photography, the Brooklyn Museum, the<br />

Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C., and the Victoria<br />

and Albert Museum in London, among others.

What do the questions of the classical modern era<br />

mean to today’s designers, artists, and photographers?<br />

Since 2000, the International Marianne Brandt Contest<br />

in Chemnitz has been asking the world how design debates<br />

that influenced the historical Bauhaus and therefore<br />

also the Chemnitz Bauhaus representative Marianne<br />

Brandt can be made productive today. In 2016, the<br />

topic was “material effects,” asking the question: “How<br />

does material inspire design?”. For the exhibition in the<br />

Chemnitz Industry Museum and for this book, 60 works<br />

by young designers and artists were selected from over<br />

400 submissions from more than 30 countries in the<br />

categories “Experiments”, “Photography” and “Product<br />

designs.” Essays by Sophie Aigner, Chiara Isadora Artico,<br />

Patricio Farrell, Linda Pense, Steffen Reiter, Chiara<br />

Scarpitti, and Andy Scholz incorporate the presented<br />

works into an extensive material discourse.<br />

The sponsor of the competition is the art association Villa<br />

Arte e.V. Chemnitz. The competition is supported by<br />

the Industry Museum Chemnitz, Vitra GmbH and Smow<br />

GmbH, as well as the Cultural Foundation of the Free<br />

State of Saxony and the city of Chemnitz.<br />

› The Marianne Brandt contest<br />

is a unique, internationally<br />

renowned competition in the<br />

“applied arts”<br />

› For the first time, the catalog<br />

of the nominated and<br />

prize-winning works is extended<br />

by further essays on the<br />

competition theme,<br />

as a book publication

Can art in architecture poeticize the character of a building?<br />

Can it transcend the function of a room? And what<br />

effect do pictures, words, or literary texts have on us if<br />

they become a part of our everyday environment?<br />

In her design for the new main building for Sparkasse<br />

Allgäu in Kempten planned by Auer + Weber, the Berlin<br />

artist Brigitte Waldach draws on nature as a landscape<br />

of ideas. History and stories—reflected through literary<br />

texts—are literally inscribed across four floors of<br />

the building. One can read text fragments by Friedrich<br />

Nietzsche, Ingeborg Bachmann, Heiner Müller and Durs<br />

Grünbein on glass dividing walls. In the conference<br />

rooms, on the other hand, prose texts by Peter Handke<br />

form veritable writing clouds—a dense text matrix that<br />

makes it possible to experience the relationship from<br />

the center to the periphery, from inside to outside. By<br />

means of the QR code in the center of the book, one<br />

can also listen to the texts, read by the artist herself.<br />

Brigitte Waldach studied German philology at TU Berlin<br />

and Free Art and Painting at the Berlin University of the<br />

Arts under Georg Baselitz. She became his master student<br />

in 2000. After her studies, she gained international<br />

renown through her works on socially relevant themes.

TOPIC<br />

COOPERATION<br />

Communicating Architecture is a long-term initiative by<br />

the publishing houses Park Books (Zurich) and <strong>JOVIS</strong><br />

(Berlin). Together we would like to draw attention to topics<br />

in architecture and urbanism, present them for discussion<br />

and illuminate their significance for our society.<br />

Today, books are more often chosen for the topics they<br />

cover than for the name of the publisher behind them.<br />

We used this circumstance as an opportunity to launch a<br />

completely new form of collaboration and book presentation<br />

at the 2016 Frankfurt Book Fair. Apart from the book<br />

fair, we also cooperate through various initiatives such as<br />

thematic book presentations, events, or newspaper editions.<br />

Our built-up environment is changing constantly. The quality<br />

of these changes does not only concern specialists, but<br />

is also of public interest and is therefore relevant to us<br />

all. However, how can current discussions in architecture<br />

and urbanism reach people? Communicating Architecture<br />

would like to put aside competition and to draw the attention<br />

of a wider public to what our publishing work has<br />

in common—namely an interest in architectural content.<br />

Communicating Architecture is therefore also an opportunity<br />

to show the significance of books for a more comprehensive<br />

architectural debate. Carefully conceived books<br />

are an ideal medium for conveying complex issues and<br />

new ideas, as well as esthetic qualities of architecture,<br />

city planning, and urbanism. At the same time, we hope<br />

that Communicating Architecture will encourage not only<br />

colleagues from the sector, but also interested parties<br />

from a variety of sectors to contribute together to open<br />

discussions and therefore to raise wide public awareness<br />

of architecture and urbanism topics, in the interests of<br />

building culture.<br />

#CommunicatingArchitecture<br />

If you would like to find out more or would be interested in working with us,<br />

we look forward to hearing from you:<br />
