Successful exhibition design is more than the presentation of
products, objects and ideas, going beyond the mere conveyance of
information related to them. A functioning concept must contribute
to a deeper understanding. It must also tell a story. The basic and
defining concept is to not only allow but to actually initiate
communication and interaction between the exhibit and the observer.
The interdisciplinary fusion of architecture, graphic design,
digital media, and interior design, occasionally even including
scenographic elements gives creativity a very large space to bloom.
The permanent and contemporary projects presented in this volume
include museums and art exhibitions, installations, as well as the
presentation of products at fair booths and in show rooms.
Since the origin of the villa culture in ancient times, the term
villa has been invested with a special magic. Seen formerly as a
genteel country estate and companion piece to city palace, today
this type of dwelling is represented more as a refined, noble, free
standing house. The villa is the gleaming diamond of housing
construction, the expression of distinguished living style and
elevated standard of living. For an architect, the planning or
reconstruction of a villa represents the exciting challenge of a
new interpretation of a classical building task, guided by their
own, special ideas. This volume portrays famous architects as well
as exciting works by younger architecture firms. The international
selection shows the manifold and intriguing spectrum of
contemporary architecture.
University buildings pose an interesting challenge for contemporary
architecture. The seven liberal arts have long ago been joined by
countless other faculties and departments. This branching out of
knowledge requires a specialization of its structures which play a
role in the transmission of learning and the creation of new
knowledge. In addition, subjects of interconnectivity and
sustainability on campuses step into focus together with the
multimedia requirements imposed by modern universities. For both
teaching and research it is essential to enable the preservation
and access to the constantly growing knowledge of mankind. This
volume presents about 70 recents projects from around the world by
means of texts, photos and drawings.
