The Toerten Project: Murder and Crime Mysteries from a Bauhaus
Estate takes readers beyond the chaste white facades of the
world-renowned Bauhaus Settlement by Walter Gropius. 10 quirky
narratives about mysterious entanglements, morbid secrets, and
grisly intrigues.
Exploring nursery schools and childcare facilities from an
architectural perspective, this publication provides a
cultural-historical account of their development, defines design
tasks, and formulates quality standards for playing-learning
architecture and environments. This publication explores nursery
schools and childcare facilities from an architectural perspective.
The aim is to provide a cultural-historical account of the
development of educational buildings for children, to define design
tasks, and to formulate quality standards for play-learning
architecture and environments.
Flexibility, safety and accessibility: in addition to the current
technical, energy and environmental standards, school buildings
require innovative structural solutions which extend far beyond the
building design. The authors guide the reader through the cultural
development of school buildings, presenting stakeholders as well as
historical and contemporary learning concepts, defining
organizational tasks, formulating quality standards of contemporary
learning and working as well as presenting typologies and spatial
organizational models, which were created in cooperation with the
foundation, the Montag Stiftung, as part of the project Guidelines
for Productive School Buildings. 32 international school buildings
are presented through detailed drawings and photographs, arranged
according to their levels of education. Ten design parameters for
school construction round off this practical design manual. With
contributions by Natascha Meuser,Hans Wolfgang Hoffmann,Thomas
Muller and Jochem Schneider.
This is the first ever manual to systemati-cally delve into the zoo
as an architectur-al typology. The author Natascha Meuser examines
five generations of zoological structures in order to show that the
archi-tecture of zoos has always incorporated social values,
fostering the coexistence of humans and animals, ever since the
opening of the first scientifically run zoo. The manual presents
documentation of 30 historical, pioneering zoo buildings that set
new standards both functional-ly and aesthetically. Moreover, it
offers an in-depth analysis of 50 internation-al zoos that have
been built in the last 20 years. It includes floor plans to scale,
elevations, and sections as well as large photos that offer deep
insights that have never been available before. The author also
presents ten design parameters that can serve as guidelines for the
planning of a zoological structure.
The task of designing a large aquarium pre sents architects with a
multiplicity of challenges: the fundamental elements of interior
design - light, colour, and surfaces - must be meshed with special
requirements concerning building technology. This book takes a
comprehensive look at the development of architecture and display
methods for artificial underwater worlds. Based on analysis of more
than 50 historical and contemporary buildings, the editors
formulate ten parameters to serve as guidelines in the design of
future buildings. The aim of this publication is to provide
architects and their clients, zoologists and operators of large
aquariums, with planning parameters and quality criteria to help
them in designing a sustainable aquarium. This book is the sixth
volume in a series of publications by the Institute for Zoo
Architecture at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau.
During the Covid-19 pandemic we have been forced to retreat into
private shelters and to question the limits of residential
typologies. The villa is an obvious example of such a shelter. It
has re-emerged as an object of desire, because of the urge to
escape the boundaries of our own four walls. Throughout history
this typology has been rethought and reinvented by architectural
greats who sought to break radically with the tradition of their
times. But what does it mean to us to design a villa during a
period of isolation and lockdown? The answer is not clear. The
villa has always been both a dream home for clients and a means of
expression for architects. It combines architecture's most
primitive function - to create a liveable shelter - with an
architect's endeavour to manifest their ideology in a single
building. During an online design studio held at the Dessau School
of Architecture, students from ten countries discussed the
identities of the villa and their cultural context. The design of
private shelters helped to overcome the paralysis of public life.
This publication showcases some of the next generation's most
promising ideas. Moreover, it aims to explore new methods for
online teaching, which could serve as a reference for institutions
in a post-COVID world.
