Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) "Das Baudenkmal fuhrt uns vor Augen, dass wir von der Vergangenheit getrennt sind. Zugleich erinnert es uns daran, dass es unsere Aufgabe ist, eine Beziehung mit der Geschichte aufzunehmen. Darum fuhrt mich gerade das Bauen im Bestand auf die Suche nach einer Architektur, die die Geschichte fortsetzt. Diese Suche nach dem Neuen, das ohne das Alte nicht moeglich und denkbar ware, nenne ich Weiterbauen." Max Dudler Max Dudler: Geschichte weiterbauen erscheint anlasslich der gleichnamigen Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Bielefeld. In Fotografien und Planen schlagt der Band eine Brucke zwischen Max Dudlers Erweiterungen bedeutender Baudenkmaler, wie den Bauten fur das Hambacher Schloss, und neueren Projekten, wie dem Eisenbahnmuseum in Bochum. Aus der architektonischen Transformation der Historie entstehen abstrakte, skulpturale Bauten, die in Form und Material unseren Kontakt zur Geschichte wahren.

This book provides an overview of residential buildings and housing developments in Germany from this time that have been recognized as historical monuments.Numerous impressive buildings in various areas, including single-family houses, residential developments, high-rise buildings, and experimental structures are thus brought into the current research discussion anew based on a broad range of materials. In light of the current wave of reconstruction, the book focuses on an architectural era whose historical monument quality has not yet been accepted as a matter of course. The well-documented buildings vividly relate the history of construction and housing in the young Federal Republic of Germany and German Democratic Republic. The book is richly illustrated and addressed to both experts as well as a broader audience.

Climate change and increasing resource scarcity together with rising traffic volumes force us to develop new environmentally friendly and people-oriented mobility options. In order to provide a positive mobility experience, the transition from one mobility mode to another must be managed smoothly and safely, and individual, shared or public means of transportation must become convenient and easy. Conceptual as well as existing infrastructure projects provide models for future sustainable and connected mobility. This volume focuses on the importance of design, introducing through photos, plans, and brief texts over 60 groundbreaking projects from the disciplines of product design, architecture, and urban planning. With this international overview Mobility Design portrays the current situation of sustainable mobility systems, while identifying mobility as one of the most important design tasks of the future. With project texts by Markus Hieke, Christian Holl, and Martina Metzner

This poetic and minimalist anthology presents 10 years of heritage of AIRES MATEUS design studios at the Accademia di Archittettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland.100 images of largescale models built by students of AIRES MATEUS are brought together to create a family portrait. Each expertly staged model is pictured with the essential schemes necessary to understand the volumes portrayed. Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus’ many years of experience in pedagogy and the use of models in practice are brought together in a manifesto which precedes the anthology of images. The importance of the model in the formation of architectural ideas and throughout the design process, as well as its potency as a standalone statement are highlighted. The evocative photographs in this book reveal abstract spaces produced by artistic interpretations of light, volume and materiality.

The Overview of the Work of Franz Fueg Who has not seen the St Pius Church in Meggen, with its unrivalled translucent marble envelope? For over 50 years, its architect, Franz Fueg, has been designing, building, writing, and also teaching at the EPF Lausanne. Only few architects of his generation have portrayed such a diverse and comprehensive understanding of the profession. This book not only documents the most important buildings of the proponent of Swiss post-modernism, who was born in Solothurn in 1921. His work has always raised fundamental questions about the condition of construction and the responsibility of the architect for his environment and, at the same time, provides a background to understanding contemporary criteria in architecture and urban design. The legacy of this influential Swiss architect and teacher of architecture Overview of his written work and documentation of his 14 most important buildings Previously unpublished designs from the archive of the EPFL Lausanne

Karl Schwanzer was on fire for architecture. He reformed Austrian architecture after 1945 and, in the post-war period, significantly shaped the image of a new, free Austria at home and abroad. As an importer and exporter of ideas, he worked on over 600 projects and designs over 28 years of his career. This book is an illustrated chronology of his oeuvre, bringing to life developments and modulations. At the same time, it is also an architectural and contemporary history as well as a homage to architectural photography; Schwanzer only worked with excellent photographers such as Lucca Chmel, Barbara Pflaum, Franz Hubmann, Sigrid Neubert, and with Maria Woelfl, who has yet to be discovered. The photographs of temporary buildings that are no longer in existence are particularly valuable.

Born to a Jewish family in Estonia in 1901 and brought to America in 1906, the architect Louis Kahn grew up in poverty in Philadelphia; by the time of his death in 1974, he was widely recognised as one of the greatest architects of his era. Yet this enormous reputation was based on only a handful of masterpieces, all built during the last fifteen years of his life. Perfectly complementing Nathaniel Kahn's award-winning documentary, My Architect, Wendy Lesser's You Say to Brick is a major exploration of the architect's life and work. Kahn, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century American architect, was a "public" architect. Eschewing the usual corporate skyscrapers, hotels, and condominiums, he focused on medical and educational research facilities, government centers, museums, libraries, parks, religious buildings, and other structures that would serve the public good. Yet this warm, captivating person, beloved by students and admired by colleagues, was also a secretive and mysterious character hiding behind a series of masks. Drawing on extensive original research; lengthy interviews with his children, his colleagues, and his students; and travel to the far-flung sites of his career-defining buildings, Lesser has written a landmark biography of this elusive man, which reveals the mind behind some of the twentieth century's most celebrated architecture.

Personnalite visionnaire, l'Espagnol Santiago Calatrava est un architecte, ingenieur en structure, sculpteur et artiste reconnu dans le monde entier. Celebre pour ses ponts autant que pour ses batiments, il s'est fait connaitre par des structures neo-futuristes qui combinent prouesses d'ingenierie et effet visuel spectaculaire. Du Complexe des sports olympiques d'Athenes en 2004, en passant par le musee de Demain a Rio de Janeiro, le pont de la Paix a Calgary, le pont Alamillo a Seville et le pont de la Mujer a Buenos Aires, les creations de Calatrava temoignent de son interet particu-lier pour saisir le point de jonction entre dynamisme et equilibre. Fortes d'influences puisees dans le design spatial de la NASA aussi bien que dans les etudes d'apres nature de Leonard de Vinci, ses construc-tions eblouissent par leur legerete, leur grace et leur aero-dy-na-misme, dans un accord toujours parfait avec leur environnement. Cet ouvrage introductif compact explore l'esthetique unique de Calatrava en presentant des projets phares de sa carriere, depuis ses premieres innovations jusqu'a ses oeuvres les plus recentes. Les batiments culturels, religieux ou dedies a la science, ainsi que ses nombreux ponts celebres, nous devoilent la facon dont l'architecte integre les formes naturelles et les mouvements du corps humain dans un style futuriste fluide et unique, resolument tourne vers le futur. A propos de la collection Chaque volume de la Basic Architecture Series de TASCHEN contient: en introduction, des textes qui explorent l'origine, la vie et l'oeuvre de l'architecte ses realisations majeures, presentees dans l'ordre chronologique des informations sur les commanditaires, les conditions architectoniques prealables ainsi que les problemes de construction rencontres et les solutions qui leur ont ete apportees une liste de toutes les realisations selectionnees et une carte sur laquelle sont indiquees les constructions les plus celebres de l'architecte environ 120 illustrations (photographies, esquisses, dessins et plans)

Familienfotoalben sind eine grossartige Weise, Erinnerungen mit anderen zu teilen. Einer der grossten Vorteile bei der Verwendung von Fotoalben ist, dass sie zur Nutzung keine Batterien oder Strom notig haben. Fotoalben konnen leicht transportiert werden, damit andere Menschen sie ansehen konnen. Sie sind nicht mehr so beliebt wie sie in der Vergangenheit waren, aber Familienfotoalben bringen einen bestimmten geschichtlichen Anreiz und Charakter in die Umgebung, in der sie sich befinden."

Long recognized as a Chicago landmark, the Carson Pirie Scott Building also represents a milestone in the development of architecture. The last large commercial structure designed by Louis Sullivan, the Carson building reflected the culmination of the famed architect's career as a creator of tall steel buildings. In this study, Joseph M. Siry traces the origins of the building's design and analyzes its role in commercial, urban, and architectural history. Originally constructed to house the Schlesinger and Mayer Store, Sullivan's building was one of a number of large department stores built at the turn of the century along State Street in Chicago's burgeoning retail district. Replacing a generation of commercial architecture that had grown out of the Great Fire of 1871, these new buildings were tall and steel-framed, a construction that posed new aesthetic problems for designers. Handsomely illustrated with more than one hundred photographs and drawings, Carson Pirie Scott provides an illuminating history of a pivotal architectural work and offers an original, revealing assessment of how Sullivan, responding to the commercial culture of his time, created a fresh, distinctive American building.

Dedicated entirely to the legendary Casa de Retiro Espiritual, this book accompanies the MoMA exhibition of Ambasz's award-winning project. Considered a minimalist idea for some and a deconstructionist fable for others, Emilio Ambasz's Casa de Retiro Espiritual in Spain is instead an unclassifiable statement about architectural essentials. Situated close to Seville, this vacation home reinterprets in a non-vernacular manner the prototype of the Andalusian house, with a central patio which all the rooms look out on, where the earth is also used as an insulation system against the heat of the sun. Seen from afar, the house disappears like an optical mirage, leaving a view on the horizon of only the two empty backdrops arranged at right angles resembling an open book. Designed in 1975, the house has won innumerable architectural awards including the Progressive Architecture First Award and an AIA award. It foretold of Ambasz's pioneering work seeking to reconcile architecture with nature. Faithful to his conviction that "a building should return to the community in the form of garden, accessible to the community, all the land the building has covered," Ambasz's "green buildings," integrating garden and building into one inseparable entity, have been the precursors of a whole movement towards an energy efficient architecture. The fully illustrated volume includes an essay by Peter Buchanan, over 60 stunning full-color photographs of the house and an interactive CD Rom including aerial views, exterior and interior shots taken in daylight and at night.

Text in English and German. Julia Bolles-Wilson and Peter L Wilson have built a large number of striking, thoroughly detailed cultural and commercial buildings in recent years, all sharing the characteristic that they stubbornly resist superficial stylistic categorisation. Their buildings are articulated and positioned in an unmistakable way in their respective urban spaces, thanks to pointed breaks with rational space configurations, sculptural shapes for architectural silhouettes and the use of polychrome surfaces.

Text in English and German. An urban quarter with an identity of its own has come into being by the Bavariapark in Munich. It is based on an urban-development design by Steidle+Partner and involved various architects. Otto Steidle interpreted the Munich town-planning motto 'compact -- urban -- green' by logically taking up the grid of the Westend area in the northern part of the quarter: the city is to continue to be built as a metropolis here. The 'esplanade', on a surprising large scale for this part of the city, along Ganghofer-Strasse fulfils two functions: with its large office buildings flanking the block periphery it forms the urban spine of the new quarter, and at the same time creates a connection with the surrounding 1920s and 1930s housing. The architects have realised a paradox in the internal park of the Munich exhibition centre, which used to be only partly accessible: they create a sense of spaciousness by extreme compression. The point buildings, exposed on all sides, stand at the edge of the park in two rows; views through dominate the scene, with glimpses of the old trees and the three old, listed halls which are becoming the new cultural centre of Munich's west end because the transport museum is moving in.

Diese Monografie stellt nun 13 seiner bei Detail veroeffentlichten Werke vor. Ausfuhrliche Projektdokumentationen werden von zahlreichen Fotos, Planen und Baudetails begleitet.

Our nuclear power plants stand like landmarks on German river landscapes - they are constructional witnesses to a bitter social and political dispute about energy, the economy and the assessment of the consequences of technology. Today, in the middle of the energy crisis, this dispute is more pertinent than ever. After the nuclear disaster of Fukushima, Germany decided in 2011 to phase out nuclear power: but why should all power plants now be renaturalised to green fields? Because only around 3 percent of the grey energy that the gigantic building volumes harbour is actually radioactively contaminated. This book offers a factual approach to the history of nuclear power, the technologies sued, their renaturation, as well as monument protection aspects. A photo essay by the contemporary witness Gunter Zint documents the protest culture associated with this. Seven possibilities for reusing these awkward monuments are also shown - an approach that for a long time was not considered possible.

Text in English and German. Otto Ernst Schweizer (1890-1965), architect, philosopher and teacher, had a crucial effect on the path of Modern architecture. When the central dairy in Nuremberg was finished in 1931 it was the largest complex of its kind in Europe and was seen by critics as a work that deserved the rank of prototype.

Text in English and German. Hans Dieter Schaal worked on opera with Ruth Berghaus for ten years, he also created unforgettable stage architecture for the operas of Heinz Werner Henze. Almost all the important European opera houses, for example those in Berlin, Brussels, Stuttgart, Paris, Vienna and Zurich, served as vehicles for his extraordinarily expressive artistic powers, which he used to captivate the public.

Text in English and German. In autumn 1997 the Zentrum fur Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) moved into the production hall of a former munitions factory in Karlsruhe, built by Stuttgart architect Philipp Jakob Manz in 1914-18. Hamburg architects Schweger plus Partner were commissioned to convert this industrial structure, over 300 m long and with 10 atria, after Rem Koolhaas' project of a new building for the ZKM immediately adjacent to the main station in Karlsruhe had been rejected in favour of refurbishing and converting the imposing old building. There is no doubt that the thinking that led to the decision to retain an industrial monument dating from the turn of the century and to bring it back to life for different purposes, rather than putting up a new building, was essentially practical in nature. And yet the result is unique, as a dialogue of a quality that could scarcely be matched anywhere in the world was initiated between the four-storey hall with it's extensive atria and its new users, the ZKM institutes, the Staatliche Hochschule fur Gestaltung and several museums -- Medienmuseum, Museum fur Neue Kunst and Stadtische Galerie.The architects were experienced in handling large industrial and office buildings, but also ambitious museum projects -- among others they designed the Wolfsburg Kunstmuseum -, and they succeeded not only in showing the historical building substance and it's spatial potential to the best advantage, and in complementing this brilliantly inside and out; but they also combined the real architectural space and the imaginative space of modern pictorial worlds in an exciting way.
