In our society there is an increasing demand for participation in shaping our built environment. Without civic participation, few major building projects can go ahead. Furthermore, the knowledge of the users with regard to utilization and how spaces are experienced is in fact an important tool for architects during the design process. This volume presents examples of successful participation, according to a method developed in the practice test, in which the focus

is on communication about and by means of atmospheres. Realized pilot projects are supplemented by a wide range of participatory options—presented as practical guidelines that can be used for one’s own individual purposes. Therefore the book invites direct application. Architecture Is Participation is not only targeted towards architects and architectural agents, but also towards communities, administrations, and especially the users of the city and architecture.

First German edition of Cities for People For more than 40 years, the architect and city planner Jan Gehl has been involved in redesigning or creating new designs for squares, streets, even entire city districts, for the benefit of the residents. He bases himself on insights that he has gained through many years of studying city situations in various countries. By observing megacities in detail himself, Gehl develops methods and strategies for bringing significant positive change to dysfunctional and inhospitable urban landscapes. This takes account of demographic developments, changing lifestyles, and design processes. The most important principle behind Jan Gehl’s urban

planning on a human scale is that the urban space has to be experienced at the speed of a pedestrian, instead of from a vehicle. This is the only way to succeed in making both traditional metropolises and rapidly growing cities in developing and emerging countries into “cities for people”. The book presents Jan Gehl’s work in the area of new buildings, as well as the redesign of urban spaces and streets. Presentations of his planning models through text and images, as well as of his planning principles and methods, illuminate how vibrant, safe, sustainable, and healthy cities can be created in future.

The concept of relational space in urbanism—understanding the space of the city as produced by society—is connected with an understanding of architecture unfolding in situations. Urban space is induced by architecture, space is produced while experiencing architecture within a situation. There is a dialectical interplay between architectonic material (intra-architectonic reality) and usage and action (urban reality). Thus, an architectonic situ-

ation can be interpreted as performative in the sense of performativity as it has emerged in the discourse over the last decade. The everyday urban life of the city, with all its potential and conflicts, is taken into consideration. Analyzing the urban is not enough. This discourse is about Urban Design. Is architectural design one part, and the actualization of architecture in a performative incident another? Does Urban Design need different practices?

The adaptation of existing, twentieth-century buildings to present-day requirements is gaining importance as a planning task. This applies in particular to suburbia, which is dominated by single-family detached houses and industrial areas, and whose urban qualities are scarcely compatible with the requirements typical of city centers. In this book, planners and urban researchers present existing and possible future approaches for the restructuring of suburbia in the USA

and Germany. This involves a wide variety of tasks, such as increasing energy efficiency, retrospective densification, the creation of new usage mixes, and the restructuring of public space. In the USA, according to the concept of “suburban refitting”, many measures for upgrading suburbia are already being implemented. These strategies can also serve as a model for improving suburban structures in Germany, albeit in an adapted form.

The unimaginable happened in Suwon, South Korea: a neighborhood played the future: For the EcoMobility World Festival 2013, the 4,300 residents of the Haenggung-dong neighborhood removed their 1,500 cars from the quarter and lived an ecomobile lifestyle for a full month. Neighborhood in Motion portrays the process of the unique mise-en-scène from idea to implementation; the unprecedented cooperation of local government with community groups, local businesses, international agencies, and cities worldwide; the dedication of community

volunteers to protect and defend a car-free neighborhood; and the happiness that pervaded the community as it enjoyed car-free streets and open spaces for the people. Stunning photos demonstrate how ugly, dusty, and noisy streets were converted into livable spaces. And how the absence of 1,500 empty metal cages from the streets freed up opportunities for community-building and neighborhood dialogue, and provided condition for safe locomotion and dignity for elderly and handicapped. The festival exalted imagination and encouraged creativity by all.

Housing is a basic need that, for many all over the world, remains unmet or inadequate. In order to ensure the availability of quality living space for everyone, architecture and urban development can contribute significantly to finding new solutions. The challenge of affordable housing lies in achieving an optimum relationship between costs and the “home quality“ value, which is dependent on many local parameters and cultural preferences.

In light of this and based on examples of exceptional residential buildings, this book presents not only theoretical approaches but also strategies for creating affordable living spaces. These strategies can be compared by analyzing projects in their economic, social, and urban development contexts. The central question is: how can different approaches for creating affordable residential space be applied and translated to other contexts?

Cities such as Berlin are faced with new architectural and urban planning challenges, not only on account of their constant growth, but also because of changing ways of life. Urban Living seeks to discuss future forms of urban living and to consider their design and social influences. How can residential building strengthen urban structures and provide new opportunities through densification? How can monostructures be broken up and open spaces be upgraded? And how can architecture meet

the requirements of new forms of cohabitation, either owing to a broader social mix or to the combination of living and working? This book presents convincing concepts which show that affordable residential space can also have a high structural quality. Exemplary designs and solutions from the international Urban Living Workshop, which more than thirty international architecture offices took part in, provide excellent examples of the potential qualities of future residential construction.

Conflicts around urban development and planning issues represent an important dimension of urban politics. Issues of social cohesion and democratic representation are all the more relevant in times when cities are undergoing a severe economic crisis and when local politics tends to meet its challenges with ‘post-political’ responses. The relevance of local conflicts as moments of political mobilization is particularly apparent as institutions and procedures of urban politics fall short of meeting the expectations of local communities. The case-studies from cities throughout the world explore the potential of planning conflicts to raise questions about urban democ-

racy. They point at some of its key challenges: the multi-scalar nature of urban policies; the tension between ‘policing’ and ‘politics’, between institutional control and popular resistance; the spatial dimension of protest and social mobilization; the limits to institutional practices of citizen participation and conflict resolution; the struggle for new democratic exercises and forms of citizenship. The volume is a contribution to rethinking conflicts in urban development and planning in a multidisciplinary perspective, raising questions about the role of planning theory and practice in turning conflict into a transformative resource for local policy.

Auf dem Weg zur Stadt als Campus represents active, knowledge-based urban development in everyday life. A nationwide network of city developers and universities, together with municipalities, educational and cultural providers, initiatives, property developers and housing associations, as well as economic stakeholders, show how the city can become a campus. The settings for this are primarily small and medium-sized cities, as well as polycentric regions. Innovative design possibilities, cooperative associations, new business models, reflexive urban communities, and liveable cities are created as part of this process. Those involved cul-

tivate an interplay between “established” and “creative” urban developers, beyond departmental boundaries, bringing together bottomup and top-down approaches. With practical examples and contributions from Ute Burkhardt-Bodenwinkler, Christopher Dell, Alexandra den Heijer, Martin Kohler, Mark Michaeli / Nadja Häupl, Sven Sappelt, Kai Vöckler / Heiner Blum, and interviews with Frauke Burgdorff, Ulrich Hatzfeld, Christian Huttenloher, Stefan Krämer, Hilmar von Lojewski, Rudolf Scheuvens, and many active network members

Our built environment raises new issues daily—whether from a cultural, technical, economic, social, political, or aesthetic point of view. However, all too often discussions about architecture and urban development are based on superficial images, or a master plan is demanded that provides a comprehensive solution. How can we really do justice to the complexity of the urban, and in what context should planning be presented today?

In this book, international architects, planners, and cultural theorists describe and analyze alternative urban development strategies, the planning of the unplannable, the appropriation of urban spaces, and the activation of unexploited potential—from mobility to migration, from spatial interventions to social transformations.

Tell me what you see! How can one create a wide platform for communicating with citizens who may never have thought about topics such as architecture, the city, or building culture before? How can one get them to adopt the viewpoint of a traveller towards their own city and to embark on a journey of discovery with a completely open mind? Is it at all possible to come to a city as an outsider and to bring new outside perspectives to its residents? How does one achieve this objective without appearing presumptuous?

This book documents the model project “Du siehst was, was ich nicht sehe – als Stadtdenker in Paderborn”, which was carried out as part of the ExWoSt research field “Baukultur in der Praxis”. It offers cities, groups, and interested citizens a wealth of suggestions, instructions, and guidelines for surprising journeys of discovery within their supposedly familiar everyday city, with its unnoticed sights by the wayside, its hidden urban qualities, and its allegedly ugly aspects, which suddenly reveal a charm of their own upon closer observation.

Based on the example of the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg, this book presents a strategic approach to the energy conversion of a district, which aims to be almost exclusively supplied by renewable and locally generated energy by 2050. For four years, this concept was applied practically as part of the International Building Exhibition IBA Hamburg and now the first report is available. This volume, published by the IBA Hamburg GmbH, the Federal Environment Agency, and TU Darmstadt, sets the implementation and further develop-

ment of the concept in the context of current discussions about the energy transition. Methods are reflected on against the background of nationwide experiences, and the social and economic viability of the whole scheme is examined critically. This analytical process culminates in suggestions for the ongoing development of the climate protection concept of Renewable Wilhelmsburg. The three editors present the necessary technical measures, as well as the social and political framework conditions for the forthcoming years.

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 fu-

ture 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 processes, 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.

New Series: gmp focus [LX648] The architecture partnership gmp was founded in 1965 by Meinhard von Gerkan and Volkwin Marg. gmp became known especially on account of its airport architecture: in 1975, Berlin-Tegel was opened as a drive-in airport. It is not only their projects such as the exhibition center Neue Messe Leipzig, the reconstruction and roofing of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, or the Berlin Central Station that have gained international acclaim. In China, they have realized the trade fair and congress centers in Nanning and Shenzhen, as well as the Universiade Sports Center and the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai. Further buildings include the opera houses in Chongqing, Qing-

dao, and Tianjin, as well as the National Museum of China in Beijing and the new West Railway Station in Tianjin. gmp has been awarded more than 590 prizes in national and international competitions, of which more than 310 first prizes, and numerous distinctions for exemplary architecture. They have realized more than 370 buildings up until today. A new series of publications documents an exemplary selection of gmp buildings, by means of detailed texts and photo galleries by renowned culture journalists, architecture critics, and photographers.

Building a historic city museum in the capital city of a country that is experiencing vehement political and economic turmoil was a challenge for all those involved. What is the social purpose of this museum? How should it present itself from an architectural and urban development point of view? What has emerged is a solitaire like an inverted pyramid, with layered terraces jutting outwards increasingly towards

the top, amidst an artificially laid out park with water features, which provides large areas for outdoor exhibitions. The responsible architects present the project in this volume. The architecture of the Hanoi Museum is illuminated by means of plans, images, and texts. The renowned specialized journalist Falk Jaeger sets the building within the context of architectural history. 17

A new culture park has been created in recent years in the Chinese harbor city of Tianjin. The Tianjin Grand Theater occupies a key position on this site, entering into a dialog with its architectural surroundings. The circular form of the roof construction relates to that of the Natural History Museum there in such a way that it creates a connection between the earthbound museum and the seemingly floating theater building.

In this volume, the responsible architects illuminate the Grand Theater by means of texts and images, and show how syntheses can be created between western and eastern traditions in a highly modern building. The architecture critic Jürgen Tietz discusses the building in a detailed critique.

The State Ballet School Berlin is unique in Germany, because it combines a general school education with professional training. For the restructuring of the school and the new building, a design was required that takes into account the flow of movement between the dance school and the school, as well as the dynamic movement of dancing itself. Furthermore, the new appearance was to reflect the high international reputation of the establishment.

Shanghai is a challenging city for architects. During the boom years, the city expanded massively especially in Pudong, the special economic zone. This went hand in hand with extensive building. One of the exemplary buildings is the Poly Plaza, a high-rise ensemble comprising various tall buildings in crystalline forms, which defines the urban space and creates spectacular visual axes.

In this volume, the Poly Plaza is presented by the responsible architects and illuminated by means of images and plans. This is supplemented by a detailed critique of the ensemble by the architectural journalist Christian Brensing.

Library, concert, and reading room—the HansSachs-Haus has been a multifunctional building from the beginning, dedicated to cultural events. The industrial town of Gelsenkirchen, up-and-coming in the 1920s, wanted to present itself as a modern city. After the war, large parts of the exceptional heritage of brick expressionism had been destroyed or damaged. In recent years, gmp Architekten have built a new building into an old façade, as a success-

ful example of building within existing structures. In this volume, the responsible architects present their approach and show the particularities of this task by means of plans and images. The architecture journalist Dirk Meyhöfer illuminates the significance of this building in a detailed essay, as well as the conversion in the context of the historical development of the Ruhr area.

The result was a landscape park in the tradition of a Chinese garden, with

ultra-modern sports and multifunctional facilities, as well as public facilities that represent a significant and symbolic project for Shenzhen today.

For more than 30 years, the Düsseldorf architecture firm HPP has been designing, planning, and building the office building on the campus by the Münsteraner Kolde Ring for the insurance company LVM. The latest office tower, designed by Duk-Kyu Ryang and HPP, represents a—temporary—highlight, which is also called “crystal” owing to its unusual cubature. The glass sculpture of a building spirals upwards at an angle and unconventionally and

is connected harmoniously to the older neighboring building by means of a bridge made entirely of glass. This book presents the significant new building, which provides space for 400 workspaces, training and conference rooms, and whose expressive architectural language is reflected in the interior design, as well as in the furnishing, the color scheme, and the artistic aspects of the building.

The origins of the architecture office nps tchoban voss go back as far as 1931. Founded in Hamburg, the group practice now also has offices in Berlin and Dresden and is one of the most active and successful offices in each of the three cities. Quality living and work environments and attractive and stimulating urban and personal surroundings can only be created by taking a holistic approach to planning that encompasses the entire spectrum of environmental design, from urban design to the building details.

For the architects, the principle of sustainability applies not only to construction but must also be seen as an aesthetic category. This book shows examples of the office’s recent projects that reveal how nps tchoban voss applies their notion of quality from the scale of the local neighborhood to the design of interiors, and how at a formal level, they continue to create modern architecture that eschews short-lived architectural fashions in favor of creating economic architecture of lasting aesthetic value.

Oerlikon, a district in the north of Zurich, marks the start of a linear city parallel to Zurich, which is in the process of becoming the most populous conurbation in Switzerland. This interface is also the location of the largest high-rise ensemble in Switzerland, which represents a radical feature of this new urban formation and was designed jointly by atelier ww and Max Dudler. The four high-rises surround a square and form an urban quad, which was intended to be the catalyst for the development of the

surrounding district. “Finally there is a square again”, was how Raymond Hood described the Rockefeller Center in 1929, and both back then and now in this case it was about importing a very particular urban vision. The high-rise ensemble in Oerlikon is a consequential and emblematic group of buildings, a city within a city. This publication documents the complex design and planning history of this building complex through texts, photographs, plans, and sketches.

The Cologne architecture firm JSWD demonstrates the long-term benefits of an international presence. JSWD Architekten are currently involved in major projects in Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria, in some cases with European partners. An understanding of building quality, urban design, and competence in the field of sustainable construction are always central aspects of these. JSWD are involved in a wide range of building projects—from a school to a research institute, from a residential building to a museum—and each project is conceived from

scratch. “Architecture and urban development have to reflect diversity”—this credo underpins the designs by JSWD. They have shown on many occasions that they are not afraid of size, nor do they have any reserve about designing the smallest of details within their particular context. The common feature of all their work is the search for homogeneity with regard to the building volume, form, materials, and color. This harmonious architecture by JSWD is therefore multifaceted and coherent at the same time.

Architect, city planner and construction engineer, civil servant and private entrepreneur, structural engineer and inventor: Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves (1788–1864) was all of these. He is regarded as one of the leading protagonists of classicism, along with Schinkel, von Klenze, and Moller. Influenced by study trips to France, Italy, and England and later by the form concepts of Berlin classicism, from 1814 he went on to have a strong influence on the urban development of Hannover into an imperial city, at the behest of the crown. Tradition and modernity characterize the era of his oeuvre. This volume summarizes contributions to the two-day symposium “‘… von

vorzüglicher Monumentalität’: Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves in Hannover”, realized by the VolkswagenStiftung, in cooperation with the Lavesstiftung. It also places the work of the architect into a wide social and historical context, up until the present day. Architectural training during the Biedermeier era, structural physics, building regulations, and architecture discourses after 1800 are also addressed, as is the modern-day perspective on Laves—not only against the background of the rebuilding of Herrenhausen Castle.

The undisputed significance of Georg Moller in architectural history and architectural theory of the nineteenth century, and his considerable influence on the urban development of Darmstadt right up until the current plans of today, stands in stark contrast to the reception of his work and the perception of the architect in his hometown itself. It is especially with regard to this that the project “Darmstädter Stadtfotograf/in” (Darmstadt City Photographer) provides the ideal opportunity to acquaint oneself with the architect in an unconventional man-

ner and thereby to visualize artistically the high quality of his buildings, in some cases only fragmentarily preserved. This leads not only to a wider, deserved appreciation of his work, but also to the possibility of a creative reinterpretation of his oeuvre.

A Venture in Modern Architecture Krunoslav Ivanišin / Wolfgang Thaler / Ljiljana Blagojevic´

Olaf Gisbertz (ed.)

The municipal and congress hall represents a cultural phenomenon that was targeted towards a mass public already back in the nineteenth century. During the time of the restructuring of political systems after 1945, it was a symbol of a new cultural beginning throughout Europe. In the meantime, the spatial and temporal parameters for the construction of cultural buildings have changed and there is a questioning of the value and role of an architecture that has increasingly fallen into disrepute after more than 40 years, also on account of economic and energy efficiency considerations. Furthermore, a lack of experience with regard

to modernization often leads to the loss of architectural quality and monumental heritage potential. This book places the structural aspects of the municipal and congress hall into the context of architectural and social history from 1945 and draws attention to the aesthetics of the architecture, as well as to the social and political background to the development of the municipal and congress hall as a building type. It introduces a wide range of theoretical and practical expertise in the sustainable management of monuments.

Dobrovic´ in Dubrovnik traces the past and the present of avant-garde modern architecture constructed in the nineteen-thirties, in the Mediterranean landscape of the south Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. Comprehensive historical, theoretical, and phenomenological readings of events and forms, in two essays by architects Krunoslav Ivanišin and Ljiljana ´ respectively, describe a specific yet, Blagojevic by its spirit, universal Venture in Modern Architecture. Spatially condensed to an area within ten square miles and temporally to less than

ten years, these quintessentially modern villas, gardens, and hotels built seventy years ago ´ (1897–1967), by the architect Nikola Dobrovic are presented through previously unpublished original design drawings, black and white photographs from the period of their construction, and the contemporary color photographs by Wolfgang Thaler. The color plates depict precisely the beauty in decay of heroic works of international modern architecture and convey admirably their meaningful Mediterranean resilience.

This scholarly guide about the tangible and intangible heritage of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries district of Downtown Cairo presents a detailed survey of the plans and typologies of a great number of apartment buildings and links the flats with the memories and stories of their inhabitants, mapping the changes in the use of the space during time, and so giving precious hints to understand the changes in the Cairo society. The books contains around 45 building-sheets with technical and historical descriptions, organized in a chronological order to give a pan-

orama of the development of Downtown’s architecture. Short texts in-between will give insider glimpses on specific aspects, such as historical backgrounds, technical innovations, narratives of private spaces. The buildings will be connected through three thematic maps to navigate and discover Downtown: the Dolce Vita Tour includes cinemas, bars, cafes, the houses of the stars; the Romantic Trail shows buildings with elaborated stairs, interesting balconies, fascinating details; the Puristic Architecture Trail contains buildings with clear lines.

The realization is gradually dawning in Europe that many immigrants from Muslim countries are here to stay and are seeking to be naturalized—and therefore have the right to build buildings in which to practice their religion. The current building activities frequently cause tension, also for esthetic reasons, within society well into the mosque associations. The question of how the structure and appearance of a mosque can gain acceptance by society is a subject of heated debate especially in

Western Europe. 14 interior architect students from RheinMain University have pursued this question and studied the traditional spatial concepts of mosques creatively. The range of ideal-typical designs shows not only the rich design potential harbored by this construction task, but also how contact between Islam and a western context could lead to a new, intercultural architecture, which reflects the reality of our living environment, without compromising commitment to tradition.

The spaces within a school reflect the community and ideals of the group of people they were conceived and built for. The social life of the micro-society of the school has always unfolded in communally used spaces that provide links between designated spaces such as classrooms, subject rooms etc.: access and infrastructural areas, open spaces, outdoor spaces. These spaces in between therefore provide the stage for the social life of the school. Based on considering the designs of 30 architecturally significant school buildings from the

last 90 years, architects, teachers, and educational researchers reflect on the possibilities to develop these communally used spaces in schools from interspaces to learning spaces, as well as the background to this and the conditions.

The monolithic parking block colossi from the nineteen-sixties and seventies still dominate the appearance of many inner cities at home and abroad today. However, in contemporary urban planning, the predominant paradigms are not longer the segregation of usages and the car-friendly city, but the notion of a densely inhabited and vibrant city center that is characterized by small-scale usages. From an economic point of view, single-function parking blocks are also questionable in view of the ever increasing price of land. This book, which is targeted towards architects and engineers, as well as politicians, inves-

tors, and operators, is intended to spark discussion and to show by means of surprising designs what potential these parking blocks harbour. How can such functional buildings be integrated better into their surroundings? What alternatives or complementary usages are conceivable? How can empty roof surfaces be used meaningfully? The presentations are supplemented by contributions from the point of view of the real estate industry, engineering technology, and cultural sciences.

The Kuppelsaal in Hannover by Paul Bonatz and Friedrich Eugen Scholer, which was opened in 1914, is still the largest concert hall on the European mainland, with its 3,600 seats, and soon after it was built it became a striking landmark of the city. In 1962, however, the imposing, almost 50-meter-high dome was divided off in the interior by means of a flat ceiling at cornice level, to improve the acoustics—robbing the unique spatial monument of its overwhelming effect,

After years of abstinence, the building of the Federal Constitutional Court is once again making an appearance on German television screens, in reports about the activities of the highest German court. After its extensive renovation, the judges have moved back into their traditional public office building, next to the Karlsruhe castle. The architect Paul Baumgarten built the building in 1965–1969, which does not represent the power of the state with imposing imperial architecture, but instead

embodies a free, democratic spirit with its modern, transparent building forms. Its careful restoration was faithful to its origins and now the previously somewhat unnoticed building shines in a new splendor and can be appreciated as one of the earliest examples of the new state architecture of the young Federal Republic of Germany. This book illuminates its building history, reports about the history and work of the court, and presents the building: and its renovation in detail.

The Ralf Schmitz residential building company, with its headquarters in Kempen/Niederrhein, can celebrate an impressive anniversary in October 2014. It can look back proudly over an eventful and vibrant history of 150 years. It was built up over five generations and developed further continuously, proving that it was capable of adapting to the changing social requirements of the times and of providing suitable solutions. On the occasion of this significant anniversary, this presentation traces the developmental stages that have shaped the history of the

company, from its foundation to the present day, and illuminates them through texts and images. The focus is especially on considering the wealth of building projects that have been designed and realized over the course of the 150 years. This seems all the more important considering that there are countless critiques of great and not so great architects, but only very few that deal with the complex oeuvre of a building company and therefore illuminate the architectural works from a different qualitative perspective.

In certain parts of the world, the founding of new towns and extensive urban development are still going ahead rapidly at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In Europe, on the other hand, which already has a high degree of urbanization, more cautious interventions into the urban structure are required. By means of both permanent and temporary interventions, attempts are being made to meet the complex requirements of a changing modern society.

Year of completion 2009 award UIAB 2010, Category “Built”, nominated Having a population of approximately 30,000, the Zamet district in the western part of Croatia’s largest port city Rijeka was lacking space both for the local authorities and for sports and leisure activities. With the construction of the Zamet Centre, all facilities were united under the same roof. At the same time, multi-differentiated public spaces indoors and outdoors as well as new north-south pathways have been created. The hybrid building which includes a multi-purpose sports hall, the district’s public library, the local authorities’ offices, and a number of shops has been embedded into Rijeka’s typical sloping topography characterised by its Mediterranean vegetation. With its peculiar appearance that looks like parallel ribbons swinging up and down, the centre forms a unique urban landscape whose individual components have, however, been suited to the surrounding residential and school buildings. The accessible rooftop gardens and terraces as well as the square in front of Zamet Centre – all of which are made from a total of about 51,000 pentagonal ceramic slabs – expand the adjacent park in the north and invite passers-by to take a stroll or have a casual conversation. The arrangement of the single parts of the building is deliberately non-hierarchical. Instead, the building complex recalls a progression of tectonic upheavals. This new form of arranging public usable and open areas does not only do justice to the local demand for community facilities and public space. Moreover, it creates an offer that reaches far beyond the district’s borders. Since its inauguration in 2009, Zamet Centre has established itself as a meeting place and as a venue for different social gatherings such as sports events, concerts, and celebrations.

Den rund 30.000 Einwohnern im Stadtteil Zamet im Westen von Kroatiens größter Hafenstadt Rijeka mangelte es an Räumen sowohl für die Stadtverwaltung als auch für Sport- und Freizeitaktivitäten. Mit dem Zamet Centre gelang es, alle Nutzungen unter einem Dach zu vereinen und zugleich vielfach differenzierte öffentliche Räume im Innen- und Außenbereich sowie neue Wegeverbindungen in Nord-Süd-Richtung zu schaffen. Der Gebäudehybrid mit einer Mehrzweck-Sporthalle, der Stadtteilbibliothek, der Stadtverwaltung und Läden ist in die für Rijeka typische geneigte Topografie mit mediterraner Vegetation eingebettet. Mit seiner speziellen, in eine Folge von auf- und abschwingenden, parallel angeordneten „Bändern“ aufgelösten Erscheinung formt er eine ganz eigene, urbane Landschaft, deren einzelne Komponenten dem Maßstab der umgebenden Wohn- und Schulbebauung angepasst sind. Die begehbaren Dächer und Terrassen sowie die vorgelagerte Platzfläche – die allesamt aus insgesamt rund 51.000 fünfeckigen Keramikplatten gebildet werden – erweitern den nördlich angrenzenden Park und laden zum Flanieren und zur zwanglosen Kommunikation ein. Die Anordnung der einzelnen Gebäudetrakte ist bewusst nicht hierarchisch, vielmehr erinnert der Gesamtkomplex an eine Folge tektonischer Verschiebungen. Mit dieser neuen Art der räumlichen Fassung von öffentlichen Nutzungs- und Freiflächen wird nicht nur einem lokalen Bedarf an kommunalen Einrichtungen und öffentlichen Räumen Rechnung getragen, sondern ein weit über den Stadtteil hinausweisendes Angebot gemacht. Seit der Eröffnung im Jahr 2009 hat sich das Zamet Centre als Begegnungsstätte und Ort für unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Ereignisse wie Sportveranstaltungen, Konzerte und Feste etabliert.

Transportable, robust, quick to assemble and dismantle, easy to repair and recycle, and usable in different climatic regions—this is what was required of the pavilions that Markus Heinsdorff designed for the presentation of Germany in India 2011–2013 (steel and membrane) and the presentation of Germany in China 2007–2010 (bamboo and membrane). The textile buildings were used as mobile exhibition, conference, concert, and event venues and toured through a total of ten megacities. As building objects, they also represented the “construction and urbanization themes” of the events.

The highly innovative structures of the pavilions, which were mostly developed in cooperation with the structural consulting engineers schlaich bergermann und partner, and the novel textile materials, as well as their exceptional esthetic qualities, make the multifunctional light buildings pioneering prototypes of a new generation of textile building. Using photographs and plans, Mobile Spaces presents the various types of pavilion, as well as further experiments with universities and engineers on the subject of “environmental membranes” and statics in extreme lightweight construction.

As part of the project Urbane Künste Ruhr (Ruhr Urban Arts), four teams at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) conducted a lab in Mülheim, Germany in 2013. Using artistic and cultural sciences methods, various layers of the town on the Ruhr were exposed, studied, and made visible and audible. The dance initiatives of local youths with an African migration background, as well as the discourses about creative city and creative class, play a role in the illumination of the problems and also the potential of the town of Mülheim. Apart from visual and performative approaches, the town

was also listened to intently. Acoustic atmospheres, as well as visitors to the centrally located Forum shopping center, provide insights into the changes and difficulties experienced by the town and its inhabitants. The presentations of the four projects are supplemented by contributions by various guest authors, who provide insights into the political and urban development situation of the Ruhr area, as well as into related questions about the role of the arts in urban transformation processes. The publication is accompanied by a website with acoustic and filmic material.

Artistic production and the spaces available for this within the urban fabric have always played a valuable role in urbanization processes. Art City Lab takes Berlin as an example of such developments. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, artists had great opportunities to occupy and appropriate empty lots and houses, whereas nowadays they are increasingly pushed out of the city.

Art City Lab examines and documents alternative architectural and organizational approaches to the creation of affordable studio space, by analyzing a variety of prefabricated building systems and how they can be combined, adapted, and condensed into new studio prototypes.

Savamala, a district of Belgrade that is rich in tradition but has been neglected since the nineteen-fifties, has recently been experiencing a rapid transformation. Owing to its location near the center, on the banks of the Sava, it has become attractive not only for those involved in the Belgrade creative industries and gastronomy, but also for global investors, as shown by the recently published, controversial project Belgrade Waterfront. The studies by Bureau Savamala in 2013 and 2014 show the changes within Savamala both from a material and socio-economic perspec-

tive and from the point of view of its inhabitants and visitors. Based on the results, the possibilities and scope of a gradual and gentle upgrade are discussed. Local architects and creative artists also present their projects that are designed—in some cases together with the inhabitants—to contribute to the renewal of Savamala even without gentrification. These insights into the transformation of Savamala’s neighborhoods are complemented by contributions about the historic development and specific urban development situation of Belgrade.

Landscapes are constantly changing. We perceive them, talk about them, use them, and thereby contribute to changing them. How can one shape this change? To understand a landscape, to enjoy it, to put down roots, to question it, to shape it, one must explore it. Preferably on foot, because walking can be a creative process, in which novelty comes about through the interplay of discovery, flow, and

reflection. Everyday life, science, practice, and art offer a wealth of experience in this respect. How can walking help all those who would like to set out to shape their landscapes? Henrik Schultz explains the background to this, presents examples, and designs and tests a “walking method” that can be applied by planners, citizens, and scientists. Landscape is a social task, which we approach by walking.

Landscape architecture’s fundamental task is to uncover and develop the specificity of a site. SPECIFICS emphasizes the differences of qualities of a location and invites to focus and concentrate on significant strategies for research and teaching in view of recent insights and global developments. In this book, scientists, planners, landscape architects, architects, artists, engineers, officials, and students from around the world present and discuss innovative approaches and future developments in thinking and designing landscape within research, teaching, planning, and construction.

SPECIFICS presents the proceedings of the 2013 conference of the same name hosted by ECLAS—The European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools—and the HafenCity University. These proceedings contain over 60 papers from the conference panels ›› Who owns the landscape? ›› Nature happened yesterday ›› Best practice landscape architecture ›› Landscape and structures ›› Events and conversion all forming the current state of the research and discourse in these topics.

From historic gardens and private gardens to parkland, botanical gardens and roadside greenery: the structuring presence of greenery in the city is playing an ever greater role in planning practice today. Areas of greenery within urban space are not only very important ecologically and socially. Green spatial elements also play an important role in master planning on a municipal and regional level and are subject to participatory processes. This book examines new approaches to the planning of greenery in various European coun-

tries (Germany, England, Finland, France, and the Netherlands). Ten selected cases highlight various geographical aspects in each of the national contexts and show the influences on spatial, ecological, economic, and socio-political transformations. The aim of this publication is to observe innovative processes in nature and housing and to present insights that can be applied to new approaches to planning.

When seeking new approaches to architectural design, we come across spatial phenomena even outside of architecture that illuminate fundamental architectural issues. Exploring this further leads to areas as various as fashion, film, music, dance, sculpture, or scenography. The relationship between the internal and external that is characteristic of receptacles, the double-sided and multilayered properties of clothing, or the diffuse nature of acoustic spaces reveal a spatial potential that can change the perspective on architectural space. The same

applies to the creation of space through dance or scenographic acts, as well as the particular time and space structure of film. Concrete experiments with regard to each of the named phenomena are the starting point for further explanations and insights by an interdisciplinary circle of experts. This has resulted in surprising perspectives for architectural design. With contributions by Franz Xaver Baier, Elisabeth Blum, Christopher Dell, Alban Janson, Arno Lederer, Doris Zoller, among others

English/German

Reflexive Design presents an integrative approach, both in theory and in practice, to the emergence and interpretation of design and research in architecture. The formative role of research-based design strategies, with regard to architectural developments from modernity to the present day, has not yet been fully recognized. At the same time, in recent years increasing importance has been accorded to discourses about design theory. At the interface of these two contexts, the contribu-

tions in the book portray the wide spectrum of creative and cultural aspects of reflexivity and reflexive design processes, as well as the potential opened up by different methods of creation and by the unexpected connections between theoretical knowledge and project ideas in architecture.

With the catalog This is modern, the German Werkbund Berlin presents the status of contemporary architecture in Germany: 22 renowned architecture firms show their designs for a German exhibition pavilion on the Biennale site in the Giardini in Venice. The existing pavilion, built in 1909 and modified in 1938, was hypothetically stated as needing renewal, reopening the question of a contemporary national exhibition building for the whole world to see. The fact that the Werkbund is questioning its status specifically in the year 2014 and in the

context of this year’s Architecture Biennale— which is concerned with the Fundamentals of architecture and with 100 years of Absorbing Modernity—is of course linked to the emblematic event of the Werkbund exhibition of 1914 in Cologne. 100 years after this first large-scale exhibition, the German Werkbund Berlin also addresses the question of what insights have been gained by the experience of 100 years of modernity, in the search for an appropriate approach to architectural creation.

The medium of an “exhibition” is generally regarded as a natural presentation form for architecture. A look back at the history of architecture exhibitions reveals a development which culminates in the practice of the exhibition itself being understood as a spatial art, which stands with equal value next to the architect’s building. Therefore an architecture exhibition no longer merely serves the purpose of documenting existing or future buildings, but has become an art form in itself, which has scarcely been taken into consideration up until

now in research about the architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The volume Architektur ausstellen – Zur mobilen Anordnung des Immobilen is dedicated on the one hand to the history and theory of the exhibition of architecture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and on the other hand to the practice of architecture, art history, media and cultural sciences, in order to reflect on esthetic strategies, media aspects, and architectural practices on a general level.

PUZZLE. How a collection is exhibited or how a building curates a collection—this was the title of an experiment carried out by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig between June 2010 and March 2011, with regard to the exhibition of a collection. 10 groups, totaling 48 people between the ages of 5 and 75, were invited to curate a total of 34 exhibitions in ten different spaces, or to realize installations. The aim of the project was to “present art as a curatorial practice,” focusing on the experi-

ence of a wide range of perceptions and interests pertaining to a collection of contemporary art. The versatile architecture of the new gallery building played a particular role in how the ideas were put into practice. The book accompanying the project is more than just a documentation: with its clear design and striking typography, it seeks to convey this method of curating in book form, as an inspiration to others.

What is the role of travel in art? The need for distance, new places, and experiences? What is the relationship between visitor and host? What is remote in the age of globalization? These were only some of the questions explored by eight curators from Europe and the Americas during the train travelling symposium Fernweh across rural Scotland. During their journeys they visited villages, towns, and art venues around the country to investigate

the relationship between place, hospitality, collaboration, distance, and the urban-rural, as well as other matters. “At the core of Fernweh is a longing for an undefined, perhaps transcendent freedom, but one that may lead to critical reflection, both on oneself and also on one’s surroundings that will also return to the question of community.” (Simon Ward)

What is Germany like, how long, how big, and how diverse? Olaf Wegewitz, an artist, natural philosopher, and poet, set out in the summer of 2009 to pursue answers to these questions. His route took him 1340 kilometers along the 11th line of longitude, from Fehmarn by the Baltic Sea to the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Olaf Wegewitz surveyed the country physically and artistically, along with its flora and fauna, and then captured his impressions in a 100-meter-long painting. The book shows the complete sequence of this fascinating painting, presenting coasts,

lakes and rivers, meadows, forests and mountains, fields and villages along the way. Using delicate, gestural, expressive, dramatic, and concentrated strokes of the brush, Olaf Wegewitz paints a picture of Germany as we have never seen it before, with a close-up view of its landscape and nature, and what this may mean for our future. Apart from presenting the whole painting, the book contains a number of sketches, frottages made on walks, poetic texts, and an interview with the artist.

Still. The East End Photographs is a collection of images about the landscape of Long Island, New York. Reflective and transcendent, these images evoke the quality of our natural world defined by light and the contours of nature. Cheng has photographed the environment using a shift of the focus plane within the camera to detail in a non-distinct yet decidedly emotional way, to evoke a poetic interpretation of the landscape that is constantly deriving its beauty and power from the color palate and

a sense of movement that defines the landscape of Long Island and which has inspired so many artists. In changing the focal plane he was able to redefine what he was seeing, in a sense, to un/define the reality and to present images, in a way that is open. That the clarity and truth is the viewers vision, and that he the image maker, is the portal into that vision. Text by Elisabeth Biondi, Edwina von Gal, Jack Larsen, E.E. Cummings, and Terrie Sultan

Though without even knowing it, almost everyone has sat on a chair by Gerd Lange or picked up one of his products at some time or other. The furniture and product designer has created countless everyday objects, and the production runs of his chairs have been spectacularly large. In short, Gerd Lange tremendously influenced the history of design in Germany in the 1970s and 80s. After learning the carpenter trade, Lange studied at Offenbach University of Art and Design and, in 1961, opened his own design studio in Kapsweyer, a hamlet in southwestern Germany. Just seven years later, in 1968, he designed a stacking chair made of a polyamide seat and tubular steel legs. More than a mil-

lion units were produced over the course of forty-five years. The plain, functional chair with the succinct name “SM 400 K” received Germany’s Federal Prize for Occupational Seating, the U.S. Design Award, and the iF Design Award at the Messe Hannover. It can now be viewed at the Guggenheim Museum and at Rockefeller Center in New York. In 1973 Lange created the first plastic chair with wooden legs, manufactured by Thonet. The designer and author Alfred Hablützel, a profound authority of Gerd Lange’s work, has written the first study of “Gerd Lange Design”. Richly illustrated and with insightful commentary, Hablützel’s book introduces readers to Lange’s most important designs.
