Water has been an important topic in architecture and urban
planning for years. The revitalization of the waterfront has been a
prevalent trend in cities around the world. On the other hand,
architecture also had to respond to the threat of floods. The theme
of Building with Water is the use of water in architecture. It
presents buildings that explicitly refer to water in their design
and form. It establishes a typology of building by the water:
residential structures, recreation facilities, industry and
infrastructure, buildings for culture and art. The various design
parameters are explored in four essays. Subsequently, twenty-two
international projects are presented, organized according to their
locations by a river, a lake or the sea. The authors' concern is
not to show luxurious buildings in privileged locations but rather
presenting projects that seriously grapple with the main criterion
of the location-namely, water-in an ecologically sustainable way
and respond to it with their design. Wasser ist seit Jahren ein
wichtiges Thema in Architektur und Stadtebau. "Building with Water"
thematisiert die Verarbeitung von Wasser im architektonischen
Entwurf; es werden Bauten vorgestellt, die sich in ihrer Gestaltung
und Form ausdrucklich auf Wasser beziehen. Eine Typologie des
Bauens am Wasser wird erstellt: Wohnbauten, Verkehrs- und
Industriebauten, Bauten fur Kultur und Freizeit. Ebenso werden
einleitend klassische Beispiele des Bauens am/im/auf dem Wasser
gezeigt, wie etwa Chateau de Chenonceaux an der Loire, Falling
Water in Pennsylvania von Frank Lloyd Wright oder das Salk
Institute in La Jolla,Kalifornien, von Louis I. Kahn. Geordnet nach
ihren Standorten am Fluss, See oder Meer, werden dann etwa 20
internationale Projekte vorgestellt. Es geht den Autoren nicht
darum, luxurioese Bauten an privilegierten Platzen zu zeigen,
sondern Projekte darzustellen, deren Entwurf sich ernsthaft und
oekologisch vertraglich mit dem Hauptkriterium des Standortes -
namlich Wasser - auseinandersetzt und sich gestalterisch darauf
bezieht
