The local roots of a global success story
English
French
The global success story of the architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron has local roots. This book traces these origins while identifying the essential ideas, professional ethics, and development of their practice, established in 1978. The biographies of both architects and the activities of their practice are intimately bound up with Basel. With this embeddedness as a point of departure, the authors analyze the motifs, constructive principles, and spatial design of their oeuvre.

In addition, Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron lead us on tours through Basel and its surroundings: statements, along with photographs taken for this volume by George Dupin, present the places and buildings that have played key roles for their work. The book is rounded out by an extensive interview. Prof. Jean-François Chevrier teaches history of contemporary art at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris.

The book describes the story of Clarté, Le Corbusier’s first apartment building, continuing the narrative into the 21st century. The steel skeleton building completed in Geneva in 1930/1932 is a prototype of the Moderne style and a precursor of the Unité d’Habitation. The building was neglected for many decades and not listed as a historic building until the 1990s. In 2007 the external envelope was repaired as the first step, followed by refurbishment of the interior, in which building preservation requirements were taken into account in an exemplary manner. The building log book by the architects and structural engineers is illustrated with numerous new and historic drawings and photographs, and has been supplemented with an account of the building’s history. The renovated building is presented in large photographs.

birkhauser.com
The Zacherlhaus is located in the heart of Vienna, just 180 meters from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and is one of the most important buildings created by the Otto Wagner School. It was built in the years from 1900 to 1913 and designed for its owner Johann Zacherl by Jože Plecˇ nik, who later taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and from 1925 worked on the urban renewal of Ljubljana. It was the first combined residential and commercial building of modern style in the historic inner city and is one of the best known buildings in Vienna. This generously illustrated, authentic publication documents the building and its thorough renovation, which will be completed in 2015; it includes contributions by experts on European architecture of the 20th century. Peter, Nikolaus and Ulrich Zacherl are descendants of the commissioning client

Martin Kohlbauer founded his practice in Vienna in 1991. Previously he had studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, in the Master Class of Prof. Gustav Peichl, for whom he also worked. In that function he took responsibility for project managing the building of the art and exhibition hall in Bonn. In addition to the design of exhibitions, his own oeuvre includes primarily large projects in which his architectural strength becomes apparent – highdensity housing, a hospital, a wellness facility, office buildings and industrial developments. With his sculptural, bright and user-friendly architecture, Kohlbauer has had a sustainable impact on Vienna’s architecture. The book presents his most important buildings since 1991 in a generously illustrated, typologically arranged compilation.

Plottegg is one of Austria’s most high-profile avant-garde architects. He has been pioneering the use of the computer since the 1980s. However, using the technology purely as an electronic drawing board is not enough for him – programs are intended to generate solutions. The works selected for this publication therefore represent the architect’s design concepts and working methods rather than solutions for building projects. The projects are primarily presented in the form of images; descriptions, data and comments have been reduced to the minimum possible. To that extent, this book is also a visual supplement to his essays published up to now. This first monograph on Plottegg’s built and planned architecture closes a gap in the documentation of innovative Austrian architects.

Capital Gate, also known as the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi, is a skyscraper with a striking lean. Inclined by 18 degrees to the west, this spectacular high-rise was made possible by a diagrid structure. The iconic building even received an entry into the Guinness World Records as the „world’s furthest leaning man-made tower“. The complexity of every aspect of the design, fabrication and erection of this project would not have been possible without the use of digital modeling which was explored at a very high level. This book tells the story behind the design by architectural office RMJM, explains the sophisticated structural concept and shows a building of outstanding elegance with the photography by Gerry O’Leary.

Discovering the unused potential of wood
English
Wood is usually perceived as a “traditional” material. However, the properties of this material have now for some time made it possible to design free forms and highly complex structures. Today, the wood laboratory of the EPF Lausanne, which was originally founded by Julius Natterer, is testing the production of origami structures, ribbed shells, fabric structures and curved panels under the guidance of Professor Weinand using digital calculation and computer-aided processing methods. The research results are tested in prototypes, which demonstrate the potential
applications in large-scale timber buildings. By exploring the hitherto unused potential of wood as a construction material, this book provides an exciting and inspiring outlook on a new generation of timber buildings. Prof. Yves Weinand Architect, structural engineer and Head of the IBOIS wood construction laboratory at the EPFL

Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. In the most typical method, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan, China and 18 European countries, this book describes in great detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions. This thorough study is a mine of information to specialists in this field; it opens up to the craftsman of today what has become an almost forgotten world and provides a fascinating account for the general reader. The new introduction to the third edition reviews developments since the first publication of this book in 1997.

People have been looking at nature as an example, as a model and as something to emulate since time immemorial. Nature has inspired with the perfect construction of some of its objects and their optimized use of energy, as well as their adaptability and versatility. Nature is an immense source of inspiration for creative people – but also presents a counterpoise to one’s creative work. Scientists, engineers, architects and artists all drink of nature’s rich chalice, they learn from it and draw inspiration from it. Using many examples, the book illustrates how designers have learnt from nature and outlines avenues of potential further learning. This second edition includes a previously unpublished interview with Frei Otto dating from the end of 2014, shortly before his death.

Built to Grow investigates growth patterns and processes from nature, which are applied to architectural designs in the quest to create a new “living architecture”. Specific biological processes are closely investigated in order to identify principles of growth and translate these into architectural ideas and visions. This artistic research project involves a team from the disciplines of architecture, biology, art, mechatronics and robotics.

In focus: the diversity of China’s contemporary architecture
English
China is not only a playground for international architectural practices, but has its own active architectural scene. Twenty-six projects completed during the last four years focus on this diverse output. With the work in their own country, Chinese architects take a position between international influences and China’s rich building tradition. All buildings are introduced with detailed project descriptions, relevant plans and numerous color photographs. The range of examples includes the reuse of historic factory buildings, experimental new buildings and
new applications of old building materials such as bamboo. An introductory essay provides an overview of the current positions of Chinese architects. In cooperation with the magazine Interior Designer published by China Architecture & Building Press
The most exciting buildings from the Chinese magazine Interior Designer Direct insights into the Chinese architectural scene Projects are arranged in typological order

Norwegian architecture has been in the international spotlight in recent years. Following the success of Made in Norway, this second volume presents a selection of 40 new examples of the best contemporary architecture Norway has to offer. These projects – large and small, rural and urban – are examples of how architects in Norway have reacted to the challenges of today. How are the different aspects of a modern Scandinavian society reflected in its architecture? How are new technical and material possibilities translated into relevant buildings for the 21st century? The book is based on presentations from Arkitektur N, the Norwegian Review of Architecture, but also contains new material, explaining and discussing some of the main challenges of architecture today, as seen from Norway.

Cities in China are extremely dynamic and experience high pressure to grow, transform and adapt. But in what directions, on what basis and to what ends? The authors and their team have researched the intensive transformation processes of about one hundred neighborhood communities that were created in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Suzhou in the last 30 years, ranging from inner-city to peripheral areas, starting from planning and leading up to user satisfaction studies. This in-depth overview on neighborhood typology and development in China follows the book Emergent Architectural Territories in East Asian Cities by Peter Rowe, who is among the world’s best scholars on urban transformation in East Asia, together with his colleagues Ann Forsyth and Har Ye Kan.

This publication explores the contested territory between the state and corporate drive to “securitise” urban space – and the principle of the city as a site for enacting open civil society, participatory democracy, and the freedom of speech and assembly. Starting from the disputed redevelopment of the Oslo Government Quarter since its attack in 2011, the book functions as a broader discursive platform mediating opposing positions at the intersection of architecture/urbanism and security/democracy. The book interposes essays, interviews, site drawings, a lexicon of terms, and photo-essays documenting fieldwork in the UK, USA, Israel, Palestine and Spain. Contributors include: S. Graham, M. Sorkin, D. Harvey, G. Agamben, Y. Yasky, L. Lambert, CPNI, R. V. Clarke, J. Coaffee, and O. Newman.

In the 19th century railroads and canals provided both structure and motor for city development. This role has been taken over today by the global flow of data and products, as this book argues. Flow of material and communication is the DNA of contemporary environments. This development has enormous and partially unfathomable implications for our city fabric. Countertrends to the ubiquitous internet retail trade – to name one of the most palpable phenomena – are gaining momentum as well, exemplified by the criticism of labor conditions in e-commerce and the trend to buy regional products from local stores. The author describes the current development and its impact on architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism. Clare Lyster Assistant Prof. of Architecture, Univ. of Illinois, Chicago

The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind. Various groups, scenes and subcultures, widely known as “men in the street”, shape and are shaped by urban space and its history according to imaginations, nightmares and dreams. Urban anthropologists get immersed in this closely knit fabric of urban culture and conduct field research with all their senses. The reader provides a compact introduction into urban anthropology, which has become the key discipline in exploring cities and city live as sites of encounter, conflict and sensation. It introduces the most influential writers in the field as well as young and upcoming field researchers. With essays by Peter Jackson, Les Back, Ruth Behar, Moritz Ege, Rolf Lindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loïc Wacquant

Design interventions for the reuse of existing structures must face the question of the past and the extent to which it should be included in the design for the future. This is the point of departure of Int | AR, a yearly publication on current issues in international adaptive reuse. When and how is material from an existing building the catalyst for art? When does art create function and program within adaptive reuse projects? How can art transform the economics of a built context? When and where does art become building and building become art? This Int | AR volume presents essays, built or unbuilt projects and ideas that investigate the relationship of art and building reuse.

Garden festivals as showcases for landscape design
English
Garden festivals are often a testing ground for landscape designers – and offer the chance to try out ideas in a confined space that can later be applied to larger projects. While renowned garden festivals in Europe are Chaumont-sur-Loire, Floriade in the Netherlands and Chelsea Fringe in London, the International Garden Festival in Métis in northern Quebec is probably the best-known festival in North America. Since 2000 it has presented more than 150 temporary gardens at the cutting edge of garden design and environmental art. This publication will provide a
survey of garden festivals and their role in landscape design and then present a selection of 25 gardens from Métis in typological order, amongst them works by Ken Smith, Topotek 1, Diana Balmori, and Snøhetta.

Emmy Zweybrück (1890–1956) was an allround artist who trained at the Vienna School of Applied Arts and worked in the fields of graphic design, book design and toy production. She very soon started her own studio in Austria and, from the late 1920s, was also successful in the USA. She increasingly shifted her activities to the USA and made an innovative contribution to the applied arts movement there. For the first time, this book documents Zweybrück’s extensive work and her school, and presents the biography of a fascinating and independent woman. Outstandingly illustrated and with an extensive scientific appendix, this publication provides the basis for all further research.

Design research is multi-faceted and undergoing constant change. This book investigates the status quo of things and outlines the elementary issues faced by researchers. Sixteen international authors address four different aspects in their personal statements: Are there differences between design practice and the practice of design research? What alliances between text and artefact are possible in the search for new knowledge? How does design research translate and transform theories and methods from other disciplines? Is design research moving towards becoming a formal discipline and, if so, would this really be of benefit? This compendium is a survey of a fast-growing research field and, at the same time, provides pointers for personal orientation. Gesche Joost Professor, Berlin University of the Arts

Combining typography and architecture
English
Whether small and delicate or conspicuous and large – lettering on buildings and in the public realm significantly affects the urban environment. But how can architecture and graphics combine at a high-quality level of design? The core of this manual is formed by twenty contemporary archigraphy projects. Each of these integral projects represents a strategy of how architecture can be enriched by graphic elements – structurally, materially or visually. The methods illustrated can thus be used as inspiration for the reader’s own designs. An in-depth compilation of lettering
techniques, practical advice on project management and a glossary of specialist terms make this manual an unrivalled design tool for the joint work of architects and graphic designers. Agnès Laube Graphic designer, Zurich, Switzerland Michael Widrig Architect, Zurich, Switzerland

She spent several years in Korea and Japan. During her decades of teaching at the erstwhile Academy for Applied Art in Vienna, she explored – together with the students – new approaches to socially relevant topics and then became the first teacher of artistic photography. Poetry and committed literature are constantly present in her creative work – from forms of scriptural abstraction and extensive superimpositions of text in her paintings through to the loss of semiotic character.

The centerpiece of this hybrid of a book and multimedia reportage is a digital data carrier with short films and interviews with the participating performance artists. The diverse contributions are supported by texts and artistic photography. The book thus becomes an account of past events, which – as sudden interventions in public space – were difficult to capture, but have here been compiled into a permanent exhibition. This virtual exhibition space is introduced by contributions from the two curators, Gerald Bast and Peter Weibel.

Margot Pilz is one of the first artists working in conceptual and new media art. In her early photographic work, she already takes an experimental and performative approach. Conceptually, her work is influenced by the avant-garde scene of the 1960s and 1970s. In appreciation of the importance of her oeuvre, her performative work in photography and her pioneering role in the field of new media and digital art are illustrated here for the first time. She was one of the first artists to use the computer in her work. Margot Pilz has gone beyond traditional boundaries, bravely trying out new techniques and materials and highlighting social taboos and stereotypes. Radical, actionistic, feminist and self-determined – these are characteristics of her biography and her work.

The World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO in 2011 covers locations in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. The stilt houses provide us with an insight into the living conditions of communities between 5000 and 600 BC, i.e. ranging from the later Neolithic period to the Iron Age. The houses are not visible on the surface, but are hidden in the water along the banks and in shallow water areas of the sub-alpine lakes, or under the surface of moorland. As the stilt houses were hermetically sealed in these locations, organic materials such as timber, textile and food remains have been extraordinarily well preserved. However, modern use and changes in environmental conditions pose a threat to these sensitive historic sites.

On the pretext of the “Malverbot” (an order disallowing painting), many German painters and sculptors after 1945 portrayed themselves in a one-sided way as persecuted artists. The reason given is often just the fact that they were represented at the “Entartete Kunst” exhibition with just one item of work. This does not take into account the fact that, apart from that, most artists were not troubled, and even benefited from public commissions. After the war, it was soon forgotten how everyday artists’ activities were organized under the regulations issued by the “Reichskammer der bildenden Künste”. What were the working conditions for artists and dealers? Was it forbidden to collect modern art? The book focuses for the first time on these legal aspects of art under National Socialism.

On the application of information technology in the arts and humanities Research and communication processes in the arts and humanities are undergoing profound change. On the one hand, the digitalization of the source material promises global availability “from your desk”, on the other hand, new approaches and applications are developed in information technology which – under the key word digital humanities (German: eHumanities) – improve the scientific exploration and evaluation of the material available in the humanities. The contributions in this volume discuss approaches, problems and issues in the
development of this research environment from a multidisciplinary point of view, and risk a view to future development and research perspectives in the digital humanities. Eva-Maria Seng, Reinhard Keil, Gudrun Oevel University of Paderborn

Reflexe der immateriellen und materiellen Kultur Book Series The monographs and anthologies of the series Reflexe der immaterielen und materiellen Kultur discuss artifacts and phenomena of cultural production and the different forms of dealing with them. On the one hand, the guiding principle of “reflex” is a metaphor for the sensory impression of a phenomenon or artifact on the mind. On
the other hand, in the sense of “reflection” about an object, it signifies the act of intentionally designing a material and spiritual environment by shaping objects or generating new objects. The interdisciplinary studies will be mainly treating Europe from the 16th century to the present day.

In recent years, the emerging field of museum studies has seen rapid expansion in the critical study of museums and scholars started to question the institution and its functions. To contribute differentiated viewpoints to the currently evolving meta-discourse on the museum, this volume aims to investigate how the institution of the museum has been visualized and translated into different kinds of images and how these images have affected our perception of these institutions. The volume opens up a debate about the epistemological and historiographical significance of a variety of different images and representations of the Art Museum, including the transformation or adaptation of the image of the art museum across periods and cultures.
Offers a new theoretical framework and new methodological tools for the analysis of museological representations on a global scale An interdisciplinary collection, including art history, heritage, museums studies and architectural history

New laboratory buildings are currently being planned all around the world. Are they different from or even better than their predecessors? To answer this question, the authors of this book have journeyed into the past and present of laboratory architecture. They discuss the images of the research scientist and the laboratory that have been purveyed since the natural sciences were institutionalized in the 19th century. They also examine contemporary architectural solutions in the light of influential laboratory architectures of the latter half of the twentieth century, thereby discovering a great variety of approaches, historical and contemporary – for both the functional interrelation of spaces and the tension between symbolic façades and internal structures can take very different forms.

In 1989, the photographer Nan Goldin curated Witnesses: Against Our Vanishing in the Artists Space in New York, the first group exhibition on the subject of AIDS. Based on these photographic representations, the study investigates the importance of AIDS in art. The publication focuses on the exhibition of works of art dealing with the epidemic, which became the subject of political and moral debate, with funding for the exhibition – which was seen as a fight for the social visibility of AIDS – used as an instrument of power. A new understanding of the artistic, social and political importance of AIDS-related art in the USA in the late 1980s is conveyed using an analysis of the exhibition and six interviews with New York artists and curators.

Images not only show something, they also prompt the viewer to carry out the action they define. The increasing interaction between technologies, entities and objects via visual interfaces such as graphical user interfaces, touchscreens or augmented reality applications makes the viewer – first and foremost – a user. The actions of designing, navigating and intervening can only be carried out when the viewer has the relevant knowledge in connection with the image. In order to demonstrate the inseparable unity of the logic of visualization and action in image-controlled operations, interdisciplinary reflection is needed. This volume discusses the aesthetic, operational and epistemic conditions under which visualizations become media of control and directions for action.

Building design: from residential buildings to airports
English, Hardcover
English, Paperback
In formulating a design concept into a viable plan, architects oscillate constantly between two planes of observation: the actual design task in the context of planning typologies such as residential buildings, office buildings, museum, or airport, and the individual room, meaning the kitchen, office, classroom, sanitary rooms, and so on. Planning Architecture offers architects and students a well thought-out planning tool, in which two main sections reciprocally complement one another: the “spaces” and the “typologies” between which the planner can flexibly oscillate depending on his or her

plane of observation. All relevant planning information is presented in a detailed clear fashion, and in context. These two sections are flanked by an introductory chapter explaining the basis and framework for typological design, as well as a “reference section” that clearly lists general dimensions and units, regulations and standards.

Indispensable handbook for architectural design
English, Hardcover
English, Paperback
An ideal design is site-specific, which is the only way architecture can create or connect with a specific sense of identity. This requires addressing the structural and local circumstances. The method handbook, offers a playful way in which to systematically ascertain a complex framework and use it for your own design. The “9 × 9 method” takes all relevant factors and their alternate interaction into consideration: location, structure, shell, program, and materiality, all which, in a matrix with various intersections, produce exactly 9 “fields of ac-
tion” for the design. The individual “fields” are not only illustrated visually with meaningful and eidetic pictures, but are also discussed in texts by leading specialists. For this book, the “9 × 9 method” was completely re-worked and redesigned. Dietmar Eberle Professor of Architecture and Design, ETH Zurich Marcello Nasso Lecturer in Architecture and Design ETH Zurich

of Buddhist and pre- Buddhist rituals as well as religious festivals and dances, which awaken Buddhist mythology to life and again express the symbiotic relationship between art and spirituality. Bhutanese textiles are products of traditional knowledge of fiber production, dyeing, weaving, sewing, applique and embroidery. They provide an insight into the mystical and religious beliefs of the Bhutanese population, reflect the complementary but separate worlds of women and men and give a dimension to the Bhutanese concept of gender. Bhutanese textiles give an account of the changing fashions of the Bhutanese society and external influences. And finally they tell the story of a country that sensitively seeks a balance between tradition and progress in a globalized world.

Bhutan, the last remaining Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom, has been able to preserve a remarkable textile art which is woven into all aspects of life and signifies the merging between art and spirituality. This is due to Bhutan’s remote mountainous location with its natural borders, a deliberate external policy and the basic principles of Buddhist ethics. Bhutanese textiles are clothing and everyday object, tax, currency and commodity, gifts marking important events in the course of a life, and demonstrate the social status of a person as a sign of prestige and prosperity. Textiles are a symbol of national identity as well as a proof of the regional diversity within the country. They are an expression of religious devotion, serve to distinguish and decorate sacred places and are an integral part
