2G: Arno Brandlhuber
Brandlhuber+ is an architecture of?ce founder in 2006 by Arno Brandlhuber and devoted to the idea of collaboration with other practices, disciplines, and individuals. This publication focuses exclusively on the practice of Arno Brandlhuber since he moved his studio from Cologne to Berlin, and it features works as renowned as the Anti-Villa in Potsdam, the Rocha Villa in Uruguay or the Terrassenhaus in Berlin to the new unpublished villas in Sicily and the studio for an artist in Ninikowo, in Poland. Brandlhuber + is undoubtedly one of the most interesting contemporary architectural practices in Germany, and a key ?gure to understand the transformation processes of European cities. Arno Brandlhuber will be the chief curator of the German Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2020.
B & K+, Brandlhuber & Kniess +
The '+' in their name stands for the various partners from the worlds of art, science, music, etc. which architects Arno Brandlhuber and Bernd Kniess bring into their projects. Guidelines established together with these partners ensure that the standards for unusual architectural solutions developed by b & k+ are maintained. All the projects are accompanied by inventions which are also part of the unique charm of the buildings. Photographer Marc Raeder has captured this particular aesthetic quality for his series of pictures at the beginning of the book. the book itself is also a kind of invention - an index with chapters entitled Landscape, Material, Structure, Object and Tools. A manual which can be used as a set of instructions and which demonstrates the processual nature of successful architecture today through the example of b & k+'s work.
Spaces of Uncertainty - Berlin revisited
How has Berlin’s urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man’s land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city’s most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve—forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large.
Thomas Demand
Published on the occasion of a major solo exhibition of Thomas Demand’s work at Belgium museum M Leuven in October 2020, this book focuses on Demand’s relationship to architecture and his engagement with architects over almost fifteen years. The starting point is his ongoing series ‘Model Studies’, in which the concept of the model itself is key, and includes rarely show projects such as Black Label (2009), Embassy (2007), and Nagelhaus (2008).
Collectivize!
This second book in the 'Essays on the political economy of urban form' series, developed at ETH Zurich's WERK 11 and edited by Marc Angélil and Rainer Hehl, revisits the idea of the 'common'. By taking the reader on a trip through built social experiments and fictional utopias, this collection of four essays considers the role of collective organization and identity in an increasingly individualized world. Robert Owen's New Harmony, the kibbutz in Israel, and North Korea provide case studies for the book, which are complemented with a theoretical exploration of the practice of 'commoning' and how it relates to the middle class. With contributions by Massimo De Angelis, University of East London; Jesse Le Cavalier, ETH Zurich; Arno Brandlhuber and Christian Posthofen, Akademie der Bildenden Künste Nürnberg; and Zvi Efrat, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem.0.
TRANSPOSITIONES 2024 Vol. 3, Issue 1: Eco-Religiosity
In a critical ecological approach, the entanglement of nature in the discourses of supernatural religious doctrine and practice is often perceived as one of the causes of the instrumentalization of the natural world for anthropocentric hegemony over divine creation. On the other hand, a certain “environmental turn” can be observed in the theological discourses of various religions. In addition to the eco-theological tendencies present in contemporary theological reflection within the world’s main religions, another interesting phenomenon is the attempt to restore archaic forms of spirituality in the materialistic discourses of posthumanism. These issues are critically analyzed in individual articles taking into account various approaches and thematic circles.
Stereophonica
Episodes in the transformation of our understanding of sound and space, from binaural listening in the nineteenth century to contemporary sound art. The relationship between sound and space has become central to both creative practices in music and sound art and contemporary scholarship on sound. Entire subfields have emerged in connection to the spatial aspects of sound, from spatial audio and sound installation to acoustic ecology and soundscape studies. But how did our understanding of sound become spatial? In Stereophonica, Gascia Ouzounian examines a series of historical episodes that transformed ideas of sound and space, from the advent of stereo technologies in the nineteenth century ...
The Mannerist Mind
Departing from a discussion on what it would be a mannerist attitude in the architecture of today, and theorizing around it, this book analyzes some works of contemporary European practices including Lutjens Padmanabhan, architekten de vylder vinck taillieu, TEd’A, Maio, 6a architects and AOffice KGDVS. Art critics between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries imprinted a long-standing derogatory meaning to the word “mannerism”. Even though scholars such as John Shearman or Wolfgang Lotz rehabilitated the term to a certain degree during the twentieth century, it is still uncommon nowadays to find the expression “mannerist” used without certain pejorative connotations. This book provides a contemporary revision of the mannerist attitude for the present, creating a framework to analyze and shed light not only on the work that these practices are carrying out, but also on the less evident filiations and affinities, as well as on their deeper implications.
