Through texts, photographs, and plans, Institut Jules Bordet Instituut retraces the different stages of the project. From the initial medical vision to the arrival of the first patients, the publication outlines the architectural approach to intensifying the relationship between medical practice and research, integrating technological changes, and improving the comfort of its patients.

JOVIS Verlag The Essence of Berlin-Tegel: Taking Stock of an
Book SynopsisTegel Airport, opened in 1974 in West Berlin, was not only finished under budget and on time but today also remains an impressive work of art. For their design of the terminal, the architects chose the figure of a large hexagon with edges of 120 metres. A sophisticated use of space created an 'airport of short distances', with as little as 28 metres between the doors of the cars and the aircraft. Peter Ortner's photographs capture his uniquely personal view of the airport complex - the details so familiar to anyone who has travelled through or waited inside Tegel. Text in English and German.

JOVIS Verlag Reallabor Nachkriegsmoderne: Zum Umgang mit
Book SynopsisThe built heritage of postwar modernism has been under threat from climate change and the high expectations of society for years. The tremendous volume of building stock was erected with high hopes for the future within just a short period of time—and frequently using construction techniques that were as yet unproven. Despite the many research efforts focusing on spatial concepts and societal utopias between the 1950s and 1970s, the practice-oriented field of construction research lacks binding recording and evaluation strategies for buildings, materials, and construction methods for the majority of buildings of all types. This affects projects from solitary churches, residential settlements, and green spaces right through to large cultural, sporting, and education constructions, as well as the engineering structures of the urban and peripheral infrastructure.In order to preserve this existing stock as a resource for the future, new recording and evaluation tools that take into account technical, construction, ecological, and economic factors are necessary. This book presents possibilities for the management of our recent constructed heritage on the basis of ongoing projects by the DFG-Netzwerk Bauforschung Jungere Baubestande 1945+ buildings preservation network.

JOVIS Verlag Die Tankstelle: Ein Bautypus im Wandel seiner
Book SynopsisFrom early modernist designs like Hans Poelzig’s archetypal gas station to the Stuttgarter Schule standardized filling stations on the Reichsautobahn, and through to Lothar Götz’s modular post-war constructions—which paved the way for the standardized corporate designs that flourished later—gas stations have been a key element of our surroundings since the 1920s. While the design and construction of gas stations has since become a significant area of work for well-known architecture and engineering firms, this type of building has thus far received barely any attention in academic discourse. Franz Arlart examines and systematizes the development of gas stations in Germany with reference to the architects that designed them. Taking into account functional, technical, and symbolic considerations, this book presents the architectural development of the building type from 1920 to 2020 and outlines the trends that will shape gas station design going forward.

De Gruyter DIE NEUE HEIMAT (1950–1982): Eine
Book SynopsisDie „Neue Heimat” war der größte und bedeutendste nicht-staatliche Wohnungsbaukonzern im Europa der Nachkriegszeit. In einem Zeitraum von über dreißig Jahren hat das Gewerkschaftsunternehmen mehr als 400.000 Wohnungen und seit den sechziger Jahren auch zahlreiche Kommunal- und Gewerbebauten in Deutschland geplant und ausgeführt. Die „Neue Heimat“ war ein Hoffnungsträger für die Teilhabe am Wirtschaftswunder – und der skandalträchtige Zusammenbruch des Unternehmens Anfang der achtziger Jahre wirkte wie ein Schock auf die westdeutsche Bevölkerung. Der zeitliche Abstand von über einer Generation bietet die Chance für eine kritische Untersuchung: Was waren die Ansätze der sozialdemokratischen Visionen und was ist aus dem bis heute angestrebten „Wohnen für Alle“ geworden? Anhand zahlreicher historischer Foto- und Planmaterialien und Kurzbeiträgen werden u.a. Großsiedlungen wie die Neue Vahr Bremen oder die Entlastungsstadt Neuperlach sowie gigantische Großprojekte der „Neuen Heimat Städtebau“ wie das ICC Berlin dokumentiert.

ArchiTangle GmbH Building to Heal: New Architecture for Hospitals
Book SynopsisBuilding to Heal: New Architecture for Hospitals examines the hardships and major challenges faced by the hospital system today and presents innovative models and solutions in healthcare architecture. Through critical, scientifically based discourse, a variety of authors examine healthcare systems and hospital architecture, what hospitals are missing, and how architecture can contribute to the healing process of patients. The publication answers these questions in three comprehensive chapters based on the medical process: “Symptoms,” “Diagnosis,” and “Therapy.” The introductory section describes the symptoms of the “sick house” and spotlights the urgent need to take these problems seriously in the contexts of both society as a whole and architecture. In the second section, experts from psychology, medicine, and the related sciences, as well as from architectural theory and philosophy, take a diagnostic look at the complex causes that lead to the “diseased house.” The third section presents seven “active ingredients” or scientifically investigated environmental variables for successful therapy, incorporating tools from evidence-based design. Finally, thirteen international case studies show how the conscious use of environmental variables leads to a hospital architecture that promotes healing. Building to Heal: New Architecture for Hospitals bridges the gap between the ever-growing expertise on healthcare architecture and the urgent need for planners, politicians, and the public to pay attention to one of the most important issues in architecture today: health.

University of Illinois Press An Illini Place
Book SynopsisWhy does the University of Illinois campus at Urbana-Champaign look as it does today? Drawing on a wealth of research and featuring more than one hundred color photographs, An Illini Place provides an engrossing and beautiful answer to that question. Lex Tate and John Franch trace the story of the university's evolution through its buildings. Oral histories, official reports, dedication programs, and developmental plans both practical and quixotic inform the story. The authors also provide special chapters on campus icons and on the buildings, arenas and other spaces made possible by donors and friends of the university. Adding to the experience is a web companion that includes profiles of the planners, architects, and presidents instrumental in the campus's growth, plus an illustrated inventory of current and former campus plans and buildings.Trade Review"Ours and every generation owes a debt to those who went before. An Illini Place enables us to grasp a sense of how it all began, the obstacles that were overcome, the opportunities that were seized, the people who made it happen, and the vision and values that sustained it."--from the Foreword by Stanley O. Ikenberry, President Emeritus of the University of Illinois "The colorful history of the University of Illinois (U of I) campus explored in this lavishly illustrated and pithy history. By virtue of its expert research, its thoughtful organization and writing, and its beautiful illustrations, it takes its place alongside other treatments of important institutions and landmarks of Illinois. The authors have achieved an admirable synthesis of treating the old and new, of the venerable structures (razed and remaining) and the modern construction and more recent architecture. An affectionate guidebook to this prairie cathedral and its plucky evolution." --Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society
