Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In recent years, few German buildings have received as much public attention as the capital’s new airport, designed by von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects. Since opening in October 2020, BER can now be experienced by everyone. This volume of the gmp FOCUS series offers insight into the design and planning of the airport, which is characterized by short distances, a high degree of modularity, and flexibility of use. Based on a universal planning and design manual, all elements of the airport are integrated into an axial system and form an architectural-functional unit. An essay by architecture critic Falk Jaeger and an interview with the designing architects provide background information on the project.

Ton Matton – Stadtplaner, Indie-Urbanist, bekennender Fan des performativen Urbanimus, Zweifelnder, Briefeschreiber. Zu Beginn seiner Karriere als Stadtplaner schrieb Matton Briefe, in denen er sich mit nachhaltiger Stadtplanung befasste (damals für Stadtplaner*innen ein noch ganz neues Arbeitsfeld): an einen Minister, um ihm klarzumachen, dass eine Siedlung nur ein Kompromiss ist und kein Ersatz für ein Leben in der Stadt oder auf dem Land. An eine Bundeskanzlerin, um sie daran zu erinnern, dass man aus Wind- und Sonnenenergie gewonnenen Strom in elektrischen Zahnbürsten und Handyakkus speichern sollte. Seitdem sind viele weitere Briefe entstanden – an Politiker*innen, Projektentwickler*innen und andere mehr oder weniger prominente Personen. Was in ihnen zum Ausdruck kommt, ist Mattons leidenschaftlicher Spaß am Zweifeln. Mit viel Humor und gewohnt provokativ fordert er seine Adressat*innen zum Umdenken auf und lädt damit wieder einmal auch die Leser*innen dazu ein, Eigeninitiative zu ergreifen.

As focus shifts to “no net land take” city regeneration approaches one of the main traditional elements of architecture—the roof—is gaining renewed prominence. This book provides a survey of worldwide experiences of city rooftop re-use strategies such as building-on and integrating new volumes within the existing buildings. Twenty-four case studies illustrate a multiplicity of projects that innovate on traditional typologies by offering multiple ways of living, working and using public services in the city. They all share a symbiotic method that exploits the extraordinariness of the “top condition” offered by the roof to foster a subtle change in the whole building's urban identity. They test new technologies for light and quick construction methods in order to deal with structural constraints and the needs of inhabitants. City roofscape redesign belongs to an adaptive attitude based on knowledge of the dynamic process of transformation of the physical realm, far removed from regressive preservation-only behavior. It represents a remarkable way of coping with urban regeneration issues.

Der neue Imperativ für das Bauen lautet: Erhalte den Bestand! Zehn Teams von Architekt*innen beschreiben ihre jeweilige Strategie und Haltung im Sorgetragen für den Gebäude- und Wohnungsbestand. Sie plädieren für ein achtsames Erhalten, Reparieren und Weiterdenken. Die Strategien starten mit der Wertschätzung des Bestehenden und der Permanenz von Gebäuden. Zentrale Fragen sind, wie sich neue Perspektiven für Bestandsgebäude durch städtebauliche Ansätze und gemeinwohlorientierte Kooperationen ergeben, welche Potenziale für ein Weiterbauen in städtischen Strukturen und in der Zwischenstadt schlummern und wie Leerstand in den Regionen durch Beteiligungskonzepte aktiviert werden kann. Darüber hinaus werden Strategien für die heute errichteten Gebäude, also den künftigen Bestand, formuliert — vom zirkulären Materialeinsatz bis zur Offenheit und Wandelbarkeit für kommende Anforderungen.

Newly constructed embassies simultaneously convey prestige and establish a national identity. Their primary aim—to represent a state in a foreign country and reflect its societal self-image—turns them into political symbols. Over the past 150 years, Germany has consistently sought to express itself through the distinct architecture of its government buildings in other countries. In particular, the new diplomatic buildings constructed during the forty-year division between the GDR and FRG document the close relationship between political, cultural, and personal choices and their contexts. From their extraterritorial positions, the buildings offer an expanded view of history and self-conception. To this day, they continue to shape representative architecture abroad.

Spolia are structural elements that have been consciously—and therefore usually visibly—reused. The space they occupy within the broad field of reuse in architecture is associated with specific intentions regarding design and significance. As they are usually visibly distinct from the rest of the construction, spolia encourage viewers to augment their understanding with additional meanings. As contemporary architecture has returned to incorporating ornamentation and history, the use of spolia has also increased. To date, spolia have been considered with reference to late antique, medieval, and—much more rarely—modern architecture. In this work, the uses of spolia throughout different time periods are considered in relation to one another. In addition to aspects of cultural studies, this volume illuminates the role of spolia in the design process.

Wherever people live closely together, there is competition and displacement. We practically take it for granted that many public places cannot be used equally by different groups of people. This assumption goes almost unnoticed, and is counter to the ideals of a democratic, open society with equal rights for all its members. How do people who exist at the margins of society (or see themselves as existing there) experience public urban spaces? Where do they feel welcome, and where do they feel unwanted? Where, how, and why do use conflicts arise? The project Die fragmentierte Stadt—the fragmented city—pursues answers to these questions. A collection of observations, walks, and encounters that took place over the course of three years in Berlin, Graz, and Zurich form the foundation of four artistic ethnographic approaches to experiences of exclusion and appropriation strategies. Photographic, audio-visual, performance, and verbal investigations led to the development of the ideas, insights, and products introduced by the texts, images, and videos in this volume. As an enriched e-book, the ePUB includes video works by Aya Domenig and Thomas Schärer.

The disintegration of European cities and the loss of identity threatened by this decay is proceeding at a seemingly unstoppable rate. Europan 15 is dedicated to the “productive city” and seeks to identify concepts for synergies between living and working in the future. The theme focuses on three key issues: resources, mobility, and equity. Communal approaches to solutions that rethink cities and take social and ecological questions into account are at the forefront of the project.Since 1988, the Europan Association has promoted the exchange of ideas in the field of innovative housing and city planning among European countries. It hosts one of the most important competitions for up-and-coming young architects globally. This catalogue compiles the competition entries for sites in Germany as well as the German winners for the 2019 sites in Europe.

Activism at Home offers a unique study of architects’ own dwellings purposely designed to express social, political, economic, and cultural critiques. Through thirty case studies by architectural scholars, this book highlights different forms of　activism at home　from the early twentieth century to today. The architect-led experiments in activist living discussed in this book include the dwellings of Ralph Erskine, Paulo Mendes Da Rocha, Charles Moore, Flora Ruchat-Roncati, and Kiyoshi Seike, as well as many others.　
 Offering candid appraisals of alternative living solutions that formulate a response to rising real estate prices, economic inequality, social alienation, and mounting environmental and cultural challenges, Activism at Home is more than a historical study; it is an appeal to architects to use the discipline’s tools to their full potential, and a plea to scholars to continue to bring into focus architecture’s activist practices—whether at home or elsewhere.

Since the turn of the millennium, the analogue photo book has experienced an international boom, developing into its own art form: a kind of visual literature, somewhere between novel and film. More and more often, photographers are publishing their works in this format rather than only as part of exhibitions. However, the photo book as an art form is hardly known to a wider public. The multiyear project "Welt im Umbruch" (World in Transition), which the Montag Stiftung initiated together with the PhotoBookMuseum, made one attempt to change this. In Rostock, Duisburg, and Kassel, members of the public were able to get to know photobooks as an artistic form of expression and to design photobooks of their own. This volume not only documents the experience-based knowledge of all participants but also introduces the history of the photobook along with theories and current practices of participative art. It collects contributions on the production and distribution conditions of photobooks from Asia, Europe, and the United States. In addition to the medium’s political and emancipatory potential, topics discussed include the reasons for the analogue photobook's enormous appeal in the digital present. Also available in German: ISBN: 978-3-86859-580–2

Adopting and adapting historical forms is an integral part of architectural design today. Strictly rejected by some and embraced by others, this practice has provoked controversy since the beginning of modernism. With its assertion of continuity and claim to universality, historicizing architecture from the twentieth century is decidedly antimodernistic—a counterproject to modernistic architecture and yet also a part of modern times. The diversity of historicizing approaches and the history of historicizing construction have received little attention so far—a fact that is especially evident with a comparative view that looks beyond Germany to other countries and their building traditions. This volume aims to take historicizing architecture seriously as an architectural reality and one possible variation of contemporary building, with a focus on describing and categorizing its diverse concepts and manifestations. In considering historicizing architecture as a contemporary phenomenon, the book places its topic in the context of reconstructions and postmodern ideas while also comparing it with nineteenth-century historicism. This view includes also designs inspired by the classic modernism of the 1920s.

This book explores the concept of Co-Dividuality, an architecture that expresses a new response to joint living in the age of post-individualism, social media, and sharing economy. The focus lies on current experimentation in Japanese architecture and presents thematic homes with shared spaces designed as a result of warm, simple, fun and contemporary design reflections. In addition to their private room, the co-tenants have large common areas where they can practice urban farming, create a start-up, cook together, or experience new spatial ergonomics. It is an overview not only on domestic space but also on projects where there is a multifarious mix between public and private spheres. What is Co-Dividuality? reflects on how we might want to live tomorrow. The book includes projects of Kengo Kuma, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, Shigeru Ban, Sou Fujimoto, Satoko Shinohara, Ayano Uchimura, Taichi Kuma, Junya Ishigami, Suppose Design, Naruse Inokuma and Masuda + Otsubo among others

What is “good” architecture? This seemingly simple question is connected to a wide range of criteria—just like the radical quest for “good” food, which has produced a wealth of insights over the past few decades. This book showcases buildings based on simple technology, good craftsmanship, and careful choice of local and natural materials, as well as local development initiatives which demonstrate excellence in building quality, landscape restoration, and community revitalization. The selection of case studies is broad and definitely unconventional: it encompasses Europe and Japan, and privileges lesser-known authors, unobtrusive works, and marginal localities where radically fresh attitudes have been able to develop.

Mit ihrem Blick für architektonische Details fängt Friederike von Rauch die kontemplative Kraft von Klosterräumen ein – und löst sie zugleich aus ihrem religiösen Kontext. Die Berliner Künstlerin hat in den letzten Jahren in einigen der Ikonen europäischer Klosterarchitektur gelebt und gearbeitet, unter anderem in Le Corbusiers Sainte-Marie de La Tourette bei Lyon, in der Abtei Roosenberg von Hans van der Laan nahe Antwerpen sowie in Andrea Palladios Kloster San Giorgio Maggiore in Venedig. Entstanden sind Bilder der Versenkung, aufgenommen mit einer analogen Mittelformatkamera, in asketischer Lichtregie und mit reduziertem Kolorit. Die Abwesenheit menschlicher Präsenz und der subtile Umgang mit Licht und Schatten lassen die Interieurs zeit- und ortlos erscheinen.

Plants and architecture: two seemingly opposite elements. How can we combine them to plan future cities that are closer to nature? What synergies can we explore? Hortitecture seeks to discover the creative and construction potentials of vital plant material, and explores its applications in ecosystem services and urban food production.Through research at the intersections of architecture, biology, and technology, IDAS (Institute for Design and Architectural Strategies) explores this topic with the aim of transferring the knowledge gained to the design of buildings. This book documents the projects, ideas, and experiences shared by thirty-three international experts at symposia held at TU Braunschweig. Their critical reflections advance the awareness and expertise needed to develop a nature-based urban architecture. With contributions by Stefano Boeri, Thomas Corbasson, Richard Hassell and Wong Mun Summ, Christoph Ingenhoven, Vo Trong Nghia, Elisabeth Kather, Klaus K. Loenhart, Ferdinand Ludwig and Daniel Schönle, Fuensanta Nieto, Chris Precht, Jacob van Rijs, Tomás Saraceno, Diana Scherer, Dan Wood, Ken Yeang, and others

The architecture of model railway systems in the German post-war economic boom was surprisingly modern. New stood next to old, high-rises and half-timbered buildings coexisted peacefully. Still today the famous 'Villa in Tessin', high-rises, gas stations, and train and administrative buildings of the post-war period connect generations throughout Germany. Märklin Moderne shows for the first time how enthusiastic the nostalgic model railway builders truly were for modernism. The exhibition and catalogue present model assembly kits and the real buildings that inspired them, and thus bring the architecture and model construction history of the post-war period together. Includes texts by Daniel Bartetzko, Karin Berkemann, Oliver Elser, and Christian Holl, and interviews with Falk Jaeger and Klaus Staeck, among others. Photographs are by Hagen Stier. The exhibition by the online magazine moderneREGIONAL opens on 18th of May 2018 in the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt am Main and will be shown simultaneously in the Architekturgalerie am Weißenhof in Stuttgart. The exhibition will be accompanied by a film by Otto Schweitzer. Text in English and German.

What lies at the root of Japanese creativity and its architectural artefacts? In his new book, the Japanese architect Yuichiro Edagwa explores this question in detail. By analysing a wide variety of unique exemplary buildings from the sixth century to the present, he determines twelve distinctive characteristics of Japanese architectural creativity and composition, including: intimacy with nature, importance of materials, bipolarity and diversity, asymmetry, devotion to small space, and organic form. The key understanding which pervades all these characteristics is that 'parts precede the whole'. The Japanese process of creation begins with designing parts and details and ends with combining them to one edifice, instead of starting with a whole structure and working out the components afterwards. With Japanese Creativity - Contemplations on Japanese Architecture Edagawa provides a personal and comprehensive understanding of Japanese creativity and the architectural process. The book gives us an inspiring insight into Japanese culture and identity, which in its essence is deeply traditional and modern at the same time.

The concepts of metabolism, ecosystems, and circular economy are currently challenging the discipline of urbanism. As the shift from linear to circular production-consumption patterns seems to be ultimate for reducing the externalities of our urban environments and to meet stricter environmental targets, the search for sustainable territorial metabolism has become imperative for our metropolitan areas.This publication questions the European foundation of urbanism in relation to the challenge of territorial metabolism and combines theoretical contributions with cutting edge design proposals for European metropolitan regions. It synthetizes two years of intensive research by design on Barcelona, Brussels, and Veneto conducted jointly by the Laboratory on Urbanism, Infrastructure and Ecology of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the Instituto IUAV di Venezia and the Laboratori d’Urbanisme de Barcelona (ETSAB).

This book offers a scholarly guide to the tangible and intangible heritage of the 19th- and 20th-century district of Downtown Cairo. For the first time, it presents a detailed survey of the architectural plans and typologies of the district’s apartment buildings. Linking the apartments to their inhabitants’ memories and stories, this book maps changes over time in how space was used in Cairo. In doing so, it illuminates some of the workings behind changes in Cairo’s society. The book contains thirty-eight building profiles with technical and historical descriptions; they are organized in chronological order to give a panorama of the developmental history of Downtown architecture. Interspersed short texts provide insider glimpses into specific aspects of Downtown, such as historical backgrounds, narratives of private spaces, and observations on particular architectural phenomena. The buildings featured are connected through an overview map with five walking tours for navigating and discovering Downtown: the Dolce Vita tour includes cinemas, bars, cafes, and the homes of stars yesterday and today; the romantic tour explores buildings with elaborate staircases, interesting balconies, and fascinating architectural details; the modernist tour surveys striking buildings with clear lines and modern shapes; the urban context tour points out buildings with a special relation to their urban context. Finally our best-of guide leads the readers to the authors’ favorite buildings, as their personal declaration of love to the inhabitants and the buildings of Downtown Cairo. www.baladilab.com

Since late 2006 the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Hamburg has made the concept of the Leap across the Elbe a reality, and in doing so has provided considerable support for the urban, environmental and social development of the Elbe Islands and Harburg Upriver Port. Under its three key themes - Cosmopolis, Metrozones and Cities and Climate Change- the IBA has also given real impetus to international discussions on the future of major cities. This book documents the projects carried out over the seven years, as well as novel approaches taken by the IBA, such as in the areas of education and participation pro-cesses, which will influence policy and everyday planning far beyond the end of the IBA in 2013. In addition, long-term partners of the IBA provide an initial summary of the current state of affairs.

Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical Koolhaas projects, traces the discursive practice behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas's oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re-applications and further elaborations.In addition to Koolhaas's individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work's relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which Koolhaas has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas.

Artists increasingly address the issues of legacies of previous planning, neo-liberal development processes, and spectacular new designs as well as the plurality, globalisation and virtuality of our cities in their work. They initiate artistic processes in urban space and allow realms of experience, which interrupt everyday life and open up gridlocked horizons of expectation, to emerge. This volume documents the art and exhibition projects, which are exemplary of that, realised by the Academy of Another City as an artistic platform of the International Building Exhibition IBA Hamburg 2009 and 2010. It furthermore discusses topics such as development and expectations of public space, freedom, responsibility, urban development, gentrification and cultural education from the perspectives of art and urban planning, cultural science, philosophy, and pedagogy.

New solutions to the way in which the resources within the city can be best used. Resources are the stuff of which the future is made. The city itself is a resource, as it opens up a wide range of possibilities for every individual and for society as a whole. The city is not an inexhaustible resource, however. Only if it is used in a sustainable way and if it does not solely serve short-term, isolated interests, can it also fulfill the needs of future generations. The biggest challenge for contemporary urban design is, therefore, to plan the city itself as a regenerative cycle, not only in terms of shaping its spatial and aesthetic qualities, but also in relation to its development over time. Using articles, student projects, and examples, this book presents methods and strategies for designing the city as a resource; it thus lends a new meaning to the idea of sustainable building.

For a quarter of a century, the architectural collective raumlaborberlin has been pioneering new spaces for action, charting unique paths in cooperative urban development, and creating places to foster encounters. Together with experts across various fields, they explore forms of urban practice, participation, and the joint production of space. Polylemma tells the story of this work: its nine members visit the sites of their work, come together with long-standing colleagues and critics, dissect the mechanisms behind their actions, and reflect on the tools and methods of their research-based practice. Topics discussed across numerous projects include strategies for learning together, experimental building, and radical recycling. Polylemma challenges us to open up our notion of space. How do we want to live together in the future? The book is a plea for the city as a sphere of action.

Landscape architecture can be more than aesthetically innovative: it can contribute to integration in society, social stability, and a vibrant public life. But how does a park become an intensively used stage, a well-visited everyday location? What constitutes the “boon of life” (Jane Jacobs)? And what makes a park urban?The Park am Gleisdreieck in Berlin—developed between 2007 and 2014—was initiated by citizens and built in dialogue with them. This publication presents the principles underlying its design. They form a toolbox for big city parks that can be used in diverse ways, stimulate interaction, and appeal to the senses. Furthermore, the book situates the park within the contemporary work of landscape architecture and shows how visitors perceive the park and its atmospheres. Overall, this work lays out the design elements that model a successful citizens’ park in the twenty-first century: Many voices have contributed to its development; its design is dynamically complex, and the park invites change and appropriation.

A rethinking of the Henri Lefebvre's hypothesis that society has been completely urbanised. "I'll begin with the following hypothesis: society has been completely urbanized." - Henri Lefebvre, La révolution urbaine (1970) In 1970, Henri Lefebvre put forward the radical hypothesis of the complete urbanisation of society, a circumstance that in his view required a radical shift from the analysis of urban form to the investigation of the urbanisation processes. Drawing together classic and contemporary texts on the 'urbanisation question', this book explores various theoretical, epistemological, methodological and political implications of Lefebvre's hypothesis. It assembles a series of analytical and cartographic interventions that supersede inherited spatial ontologies (urban/rural, town/country, city/non-city, society/nature) in order to investigate the uneven implosions and explosions of capitalist urbanisation across places, regions, territories, continents and oceans up to the planetary scale. Neil Brenner is Professor of Urban Theory at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD). His writing and teaching focus on the theoretical, conceptual, methodological and cartographic dimensions of urban questions. His work builds upon, and seeks to extend, the fields of critical urban and regional studies, comparative geopolitical economy and radical sociospatial theory. Major research foci include processes of urban and regional restructuring and uneven spatial development; the generalisation of capitalist urbanisation; the problem of spatial visualisation in urban studies; and processes of state spatial restructuring, with particular reference to the remaking of urban governance configurations under neoliberalising capitalism. In 2014, Brenner was selected as a Thompson Reuters Highly Cited Researcher (www.highlycited.com). Based on Web of Science data, his publications were ranked among the top 1% most cited globally in the general social sciences between 2002 and 2012. http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/person/neil-brenner/

After its careful renovation by David Chipperfield Architects, the ballroom Hasenheide 13 will serve as an exhibition venue for the Sammlung Wemhöner from 2025 onwards. Reason enough to review the eventful and lively history of the place in order to respectfully continue its history as a meeting place: a history that already began before the construction of the ballroom at the end of the nineteenth century, and in a certain way also exemplarily reflects the development of Berlin over the past 150 years. This publication invites you to follow Lothar Uebel's research and embark on a voyage of discovery that tells of fascinating episodes of an institution that deserves to continue to be a witness to Berlin's constantly changing face.

Today's cities are growing rapidly, creating heterogeneous urban fabrics that cross administrative and political borders. To meet the challenges of our time, a new cross-sectoral, multi-level and people-centered planning apporach is needed. Metropolitan planning is therefore essential to contemporary planning practice and culture and must take into account the potential of both urban and rural spaces. This publication introduces the new discipline of metropolitan design by sharing innovative and international knowledge of interconnected mobility, balanced growth, resilient landscapes and integrated programming of metropolitan regions. Through collaboration and active participation, MetroLab provides tools to develop future-proof and highly liveable city regions.

What is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In face of diminishing resources, the importance of photovoltaics for our energy demands is increasing, so that producing up to 25 percent of required electricity in this way seems like a realistic long-term target from today’s perspective. Architecture must rise to meet the challenge, for the integration of photovoltaic systems with their hapticvisual qualities and materiality presents an inspiring new source of innovative design concepts. Intended for planners and architects, but also for the interested layman, this book outlines the huge variety of design of photovoltaic modules, showing realized buildings as examples. A system catalogue gives detailed descriptions of all material aspects and suggests possibilities for an original, aesthetically pleasing use of photovoltaics.

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Flashing facades, high-end-casinos and neon lights—isn´t that how one knows the gambling metropolis of Las Vegas? But what picture does the city have to offer beyond the pulsing pleasure boulevard The Strip? Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las Vegas shows us the unknown, desolate side of Las Vegas and its environs. There, where the suburbs in the desert encroach on nature and change it, the book reveals the surprising connenctions between the abstract architectonic sculptures which mark the image of Las Vegas, and the spacious abstractions of nature in the Mojave Desert. In Learning from Las Vegas Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown focused on the glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, analyzing the city for its postmodernist qualities while ignoring the Mojave desert immediately beyond. Exploring the city at the same time as Venturi and Scott-Brown, the renowned architectural historian and critic Reyner Banham focused his attention on what he saw as the strikingly modernist spaces of the Mojave desert and disregarded the postmodernist lure of the Strip. Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las Vegas presents neither a modernist nor a postmodernist view of the city and its environment. The text and images do not project ideals of urban development, nor do they solve social and environmental problems. Rather, they present a hybrid landscape shaped and reshaped by practices of everyday urbanization for a city now characterized as the “first” city of the 21st century. They offer a “third site”, exposing the complex but often interstitial spaces of everyday production and consumption tied to physical and virtual place making as well as contemporary local and global investment. This perspective reframes the seamless surfaces of draped neon lights, curtain walls, and landscape features layered onto the Mojaveʼs stark topography, uncovering distinct strata that respatialize the social, cultural, and environmental implications of urbanizing a fierce yet fragile desert.

Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Die Geschichte des Grafikdesigns ist weitgehend ohne Frauen geschrieben worden. Blickt man jedoch unter die Oberfläche dieser Erzählung, wird der Einfluss sichtbar, den Grafikdesignerinnen auf das Geschehen hatten: Sie bildeten eigene Traditionen, stellten dialogische Bezüge her, wurden Vorbilder, knüpften Netzwerke, erprobten sich in Selbstermächtigung. Gerda Breuer beleuchtet diesen Kampf um Professionalisierung und zeigt, auf welche kollektiven Formate Designerinnen zurückgriffen, um sichtbar zu werden und sich für die Belange von Frauen einzusetzen. Bekannte Grafikdesignerinnen wie Ljubow Popowa, Änne Koken, Ethel Reed oder Sarah Wyman Whitman spielten hierbei ebenso eine Rolle wie völlig unbekannte Kollektive. Breuer zeigt, dass deren bedeutende Beiträge in der Rezeptionsgeschichte verschwunden, abgewertet, ignoriert oder in den Hintergrund gedrängt wurden. Aufgrund der aktuellen Infragestellung des traditionellen Kanons ist die Integration solcher Beiträge in die Designgeschichte längst überfällig. Design von Katja Lis, DBF Designbüro Frankfurt

New Belgrade represented a material and social experiment for a new society in post-war Yugoslavia. As the city and the country were being simultaneously built, the philosophy of praxis was developing in both the Yugoslavian and the international scene. Praxis of Collective Building deals with the interactions between this school of thought and the histories of architectural construction sites. By closely studying the microhistories of construction, the author considers the theoretical problems of collective production through different narratives: voluntary youth actions in the construction of New Belgrade through the lens of Marxian praxis, participative prefabrication as a way of addressing housing shortages in Yugoslavia, and the transfer and adaptation of the Yugoslavian prefabricated system to the Cuban context by the microbrigade movement.

Im südlichen Graz, dort, wo Einfamilienhäuser, Gewerbe und Industrie aufeinandertreffen, entstand im Rahmen des Grazer Kulturjahres 2020 der Demonstrativbau Club Hybrid. Mit wechselnden Gästen und täglichem Programm wurde der Club im Sommer 2021 zur Werkstatt und Bühne in der urbanen Nebelzone der Stadt. Es wurde experimentiert, ausgestellt und diskutiert. Club Hybrid. Ein Sommer in der Nebelzone bringt die beteiligten Menschen, Objekte, Räume und Ereignisse in einem Buch zusammen. Entlang von sechs Themenfeldern wird die Genese des Clubs von der Standortsuche über die Architekturkonstruktion bis zur Programmfindung erzählt. Gastbeiträge von Bernd Vlay, Agency Apéro, Emily Trummer, Rudolf Kohoutek und Oliver Elser ergänzen und vertiefen einzelne Themen und blicken über den Rand des Projekts hinaus. Das Cover des Buches ist zugleich ein Poster.

Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Wie können wir in den urbanisierten Räumen unserer Städte und Kommunen dem Klimawandel und den sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Ungleichheiten mit innovativen Projekten und neuen Planungsprozessen begegnen? Wie kommen wir von vernachlässigten, brachliegenden, leeren, stigmatisierten und monofunktionalen zu lebendigen, integrativen und durchmischten Stadträumen? An fünf deutschen Standorten wurden anlässlich des E16-Wettbewerbs Projekte entwickelt, die Möglichkeiten für Transformationsprozesse in Kommunen aufzeigen. Die parallel zum Verfahren einsetzende COVID-19-Pandemie wirkte für viele der angesprochen Fragestellungen wie ein Katalysator: lebendige Städte als Sehnsuchtsorte und notwendige Visionen. Der Katalog fasst die Wettbewerbsbeiträge der deutschen Standorte sowie der deutschen Gewinner*innen an europäischen Standorten zusammen. Mit Beiträgen von Andrea Benze, Kaye Geipel, Saskia Hebert, Timo Munzinger, Iris Reuter, Ali Saad, Anne Schmedding, Marika Schmidt und Tatjana Schneider

As a collective cultural achievement, building culture is not a private matter: it is a physical expression of our society. It defines not only the character of our living environment, but also the processes of its creation, adoption, use, and preservation. Our building culture is tightly interwoven with people’s daily lives and influences their coexistence and wellbeing. The question of how we wish to shape this coexistence is relevant not only to those in the fields of architecture and urban planning, but also to large sections of wider society. To mark its twentieth anniversary, IG Architektur is turning its attention to the future. In this volume, it seeks to identify and discuss the topics that will be important to building culture over the coming twenty years. With contributions by Wojciech Czaja, Jens S. Dangschat, Franz Denk, Matthias Finkentey, Daniel Fügenschuh, Gabu Heindl, Nikolaus Hellmayr, Angelika Hinterbrandner, Kurt Hofstetter, Susanne Helene Höhndorf, Thomas Kain, Wolfgang Kil, Elke Krasny, Ramona Kraxner, Christian Kühn, Isabella Marboe, Karoline Mayer, Maik Novotny, Paul Ott, Katharina Ritter, Reinhard Seiß, Bernhard Sommer, Lukas Vejnik, and Kai Vöckler.
