JOVIS Verlag Black Turtleneck, Round Glasses: Expanding
Book SynopsisAccording to a recent American study, sexism and racism are so widespread in architecture that there is a distaste for these topics within the branch itself. What are the reasons for this exclusionary working culture? Even in Germany, most architecture graduates since the turn of the millennium have been female—but a large number of conventions and assumptions within the discipline make it difficult for women to remain in the profession. As a result, a great deal of highly trained talent is lost. Black Turtleneck, Round Glasses uses an intersectional feminist perspective to examine the structural causes that push women—and anyone else who isn’t a white cis man—out of the field. How can architectural teaching and discourse, as well as the industry’s self-image, become more diverse? Where are the experiences of a pluralistic society missing from the built environment? How can we bring about cultural change in planning and architecture? Featuring an interview with the Dutch architect Afaina de Jong

JOVIS Verlag Bibliothek
Book Synopsis„Gibt es denn ein schöneres Bild für den Frieden unter den Menschen als den Lesesaal einer großen Bibliothek?“, fragt Peter von Matt in seinem Beitrag für dieses Buch. Mit dem Bau der Bibliothek der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin hat Max Dudler einen ebenso modernen wie zeitlosen Ort für die Bücher und das Lesen geschaffen. Seine Architektur hat weit über Berlins Grenzen hinaus aufmerken lassen und erlebt eine bis heute anhaltende Begeisterung vonseiten der Nutzer*innen.Bibliothek dokumentiert die Ideen, die diesen Bau prägen, widmet sich aber auch allgemein der Rolle von Bibliotheken und insbesondere der Architektur, die den Büchern und ihren Leser*innen einen adäquaten Raum schafft. Die Schwarzweißfotografien von Barbara Klemm verdeutlichen dies auf geradezu magische Weise. Sie fangen die intensive und zugleich lebendige Arbeitsatmosphäre in den Räumen der Bibliothek ein. Einen spannungsvollen Kontrast schaffen die ruhigen, strengen Farbfotografien von Stefan Müller, indem sie sich ganz auf die Architektur des Gebäudes konzentrieren. Mit Texten von Jörg Baberowski, Hartmut Böhme, Milan Bulaty, Max Dudler, Martin Mosebach, Peter von Matt sowie Fotografien von Barbara Klemm und Stefan Müller „‚Bibliothek‘ ist ein zauberhafter Bildband und klug gemacht dazu, setzt er doch Dudlers Anspruch auf eine ‚allgegenwärtige Dialektik von Innen und Außen‘ auch für das Bild um, das wir uns jetzt von der Bibliothek machen können.“ Andreas Platthaus in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung zur 2010 im Berlin Verlag erschienenen Erstauflage des Buchs

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 Wine and Space: Architectural design for
Book SynopsisThis publication takes a look at the rooms where wine is tasted and enjoyed. It highlights a variety of projects, ranging from winemakers' tasting rooms and salesrooms to more unusual shop concepts and successful examples taken from the gastronomy sector. To provide a glimpse into the development of a design, the authors engage intensively with the architects and contractors to explore the following questions: How did those involved contribute and combine their ideas? What story is told by the project as it begins to take shape? What kind of customers does it appeal to and how should they react to it? Additional essays illustrate how designs are influenced by functional factors, as well as the role played by materials, colour, light, and indeed the spatial concept as a whole in the process of wine tasting.

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.

Birkhauser Accountability Technologies: Tools for Asking
Book SynopsisA growing part of the public is concerned about cities being designed and governed in a responsible way. In the contemporary information society, however, the democratic obligation of the citizens to inform themselves thoroughly, so that they can participate in public affairs has become impossible to fulfill. Rather than submitting to the opinions of self-proclaimed experts, citizens need new ways to make sense of what is going on around them. Accountability technologies stand for new innovative approaches to bottom-up governance: technologies to monitor those in power and hold them accountable for their actions. Accountability technologies are designed to coordinate citizen-led data collection, visualization and analysis in order to achieve social change. This book takes a close look at initiatives that have succeeded in making an impact on the reality of the city, as well as the motivations, strategies and tactics of the people who create and use these technologies. How can data generated by citizens be put into action?

Amsterdam University Press The Building as Screen: A History, Theory, and
Book SynopsisThe Building as Screen: A History, Theory, and Practice of Massive Media describes, historicizes, theorizes, and creatively deploys massive media -- a set of techno-social assemblages and practices that include large outdoor projections, programmable architectural façades, and urban screens -- in order to better understand their critical and creative potential. Massive media is named as such not only because of the size and subsequent visibility of this phenomenon but also for its characteristic networks and interactive screen and cinema-like qualities. Examples include the programmable lighting of the Empire State Building and the interactive projections of Montreal’s Quartier des spectacles, as well as a number of works created by the author himself. This book argues that massive media enables and necessitates the development of new practices of expanded cinema, public data visualization, and installation art and curation that blend the logics of urban space, monumentality, and the public sphere with the aesthetics and affordances of digital information and the moving image.Trade ReviewWinner of the SCMS 2021 Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award!

Frame Publishers BV Clive Wilkinson: The Theatre of Work
Book SynopsisThe modern workplace has evolved from a dehumanized cubicle landscape to space designed for intelligent human life. While utility and amenity are vastly improved, wh at advances have been made in building truly creative communities that spark creativity, knowledge sharing and collaboration? Is the 21st century office performing at peak? Clive Wilkinson - The Theatre of Work proposes an intensified relationship between office users and the space they occupy. The new workspace should amplify and celebrate the activity of work and of human community, and in the process, becoming vital and compelling Theatre. In defining this new landscape, the author examines global devel opments in workplace thinking, historical antecedents, the performance touch-points for the new office, and proposes seven humanistic principles that will inform a holistic design process that can bring this concept of Theatre to fruition. Each of these principles is demonstrated through case studies of the work of his renowned design studio, Clive Wilkinson Architects (CWA), with rich iconography, diagrammatic strategy and contextual ingenuity. The outcome of this process, with its multiple performative la yers, effectively promotes elevating a corporate brief of basic needs and goals to a profoundly human-centred presentation of ‘work as theatre’ .

Springer Verlag, Singapore Office Buildings: Health, Safety and Environment
Book SynopsisThis book brings together concepts from the building, environmental, behavioural and health sciences to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of office and workplace design. Today, with changes in the world of work and the relentless surge in technology, offices have emerged as the repositories of organizational symbolism, denoted by the spatial design of offices, physical settings and the built environment (architecture, urban locale). Drawing on Euclidian geometry that quantifies space as the distance between two or more points, a body of knowledge on office buildings, the concept of office and office space, and the interrelationships of spatial and behavioural attributes in office design are elucidated. Building and office work-related illnesses, namely sick building syndrome and ailments arising from the indoor environment, and the menace of musculoskeletal disorders are the alarming manifestations that critically affect employee satisfaction, morale and work outcomes. With a focus on office ergonomics, the book brings the discussion on the fundamentals of work design, with emphasis on computer workstation users. Strategic guidance of lighting systems and visual performance in workplaces are directed for better application of ergonomics and improvement in office indoor environment. It discusses the profiles of bioclimatic, indoor air quality, ventilation intervention, lighting and acoustic characteristics in office buildings. Emphasis has been given to the energy performance of buildings, and contemporary perspectives of building sustainability, such as green office building assessment schemes, and national and international building-related standards and codes. Intended for students and professionals from ergonomics, architecture, interior design, as well as construction engineers, health care professionals, and office planners, the book brings a unified overview of the health, safety and environment issues associated with the design of office buildings.Table of ContentsConcept of Office and Office Space.- Spatial and Behavioural Attributes in Office Design.- Sick Building Syndrome and Other Building Related Illnesses.- Musculoskeletal Disorders: Office Menace.- Fundamentals of Office Ergonomics.- Ergonomics of Computer Workstation.- Strategic Office Lighting.- Visual Performance in Office.- Bioclimatic Approach: Thermal environment.- Characteristics of Indoor Environmental Quality.- Assessing IEQ Performance in Buildings.- Ventilation in Office Buildings.- Lighting Systems.- Energy Performance in Buildings: Standards and Codes.- Green Building and Assessment Systems.- Building Sustainability: Credit Rating Criteria.
