In den ersten fünf Jahren eines neuen Architekturbüros entstehen typische Probleme, die bewältigt werden müssen. Basierend auf den Erfahrungsberichten junger Architekturbüros, die europaweit in Workshops eingeholt wurden, analysiert dieses Handbuch übereinstimmend beobachtete, häufig auftretende Problemfälle und bietet Ansätze zu deren Lösung. Das Besondere: sie wurden aus der täglichen Arbeitspraxis heraus entwickelt und sind real umsetzbar, auch weil sie auf die verschiedenen Aufbauphasen ausgerichtet wurden: Getting started, Making mistaktes, Going Public, Getting specialized und Making competitions. Für die zweite Auflage wurden die Texte ergänzt und korrigiert, Statistiken und Charts aktualisiert. Das flotte Erscheinungsbild bleibt so ansprechend wie in der ersten Auflage.
Warum vergolden die Österreicher ihre Baudenkmäler selbst dann, wenn sie zu Staub zerfallen? Wieso bauen die Deutschen ihren Automobilen Tempel? Und was passiert, wenn Ernst Neufert in Graz auf Buster Keaton trifft? Seit 1992 bereichern die Texte Christian Kühns im Feuilleton der Tageszeitung „Die Presse", das als Leitindex der österreichischen Architekturentwicklung gilt, die kritische Diskussion über Architektur und Städtebau. Kühns Texte richten sich vor allem an neugierige Stadt- und Hausbewohner, die Architektur als Medium gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen kennenlernen und verstehen wollen, nicht nur an das Fachpublikum. Ringstraße ist überall versammelt seine besten Texte von 1992 bis 2007: 120 Essays, die der Baukunst unserer Zeit auf den Zahn fühlen.
European architectural competitions are described and evaluated for built environment students, professionals and people commissioning new buildings and public spaces. Case studies of competition design submission, with competitions data are supplemented with discourse on the culture and practice of competitions, their methodologies, opportunities, potential and pitfalls. The need for a unified language model for improving competitions practice in Europe is discussed and proposed.
The Wonderland architecture exhibition toured Europe from 2004 to 2006. At every stop 11 national teams – mostly young, unknown teams – joined the exhibition and presented their work along with the others already featured. The exhibition, which began in Austria and grew continuously, will close where it originated in June 2006. The collection of contributions is both a catalog and travelogue in one: each of the 99 participating architecture teams is introduced with both images and texts. The essays give accounts of the architectural developments in the different countries from the perspective of local architecture experts and contain both a retrospect and forecast of the events surrounding the individual exhibitions.
New modes of practice are now emerging in architecture. Rural Studio, Exyzt, Muf, Assemble and many more have led the way by challenging conventional ideas of ‘The Architect' and reclaiming the notion of architecture as something public that should work ultimately towards the collective good. This quiet revolution is born out of a crisis in the profession and a wider vacuum in the political, environmental and economic situation. On the one hand, architecture as a profession has seen its influence diminish rapidly over the last 50 years through privatisation and the dominance of finance, while on the other hand it has also lacked collective courage and readiness to evolve.

Perché il mestiere più bello del mondo sta attraversando, almeno nel nostro paese, una crisi così lunga e così grave? Cosa possiamo fare per uscirne? Il libro prova a rispondere a queste due domande. Dal suo personale punto di vista, l’autore analizza le cause che hanno portato alla crisi, ma delinea anche, puntualmente, una serie di possibili soluzioni per il futuro: di ordine formativo, rivolte cioè alla sfera universitaria; professionale, rispetto al sistema ordinistico, all’articolazione della figura dell’architetto e ai nuovi business models; culturale, sulla progettualità contemporanea e sugli sviluppi legati alla digitalizzazione, al BIM, ai Big Data e all’intelligenza artificiale; normativo, riguardanti cioè il tema della qualità e come sia possibile migliorarla, la legge per l’architettura e la governance.
