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works as renowned as the Anti-Villa in Potsdam, the Rocha Villa in Uruguay or the Terrassenhaus in Berlin to the new unpublished villas in Sicily and the studio for an artist in Ninikowo, in Poland.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.
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.
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.
The Contested Territory of Architectural Theory
This book brings together a diverse group of theoreticians to explore architectural theory as a discipline, assessing its condition and relevance to contemporary practice. Offering critical assessment in the face of major social and environmental issues of today, 17 original contributions address the relevance of architectural theory in the contemporary world from various perspectives, including but not limited to: politics, gender, representation, race, environmental crisis, and history. The chapters are grouped into two distinct sections: the first section explores various historical perspectives on architectural theory, mapping theory’s historiographical turn and its emergence and decli...
Suspended Living in Temporary Space
On 9th October 2017, the international conference Suspended Living in Temporary Space was held at the headquarters of the Architecture School of the Polytechnic of Turin. Some scholars, architects but not only, have found themselves reflecting on the role of the architect and architecture within the almost apocalyptic scenario of the great migratory waves following disasters and emergencies, with specific attention to the context of the Mediterranean area. In this scenario, there are those who flee alone and with the whole family, people who leave a promising profession and others who leave almost nothing; unaccompanied minors and adults. For everyone, we must, first and foremost, guarantee ...
Architecture Workbook
Organised into 9 parts that highlight a wide range of architectural motives, such as 'Architecture as Theatre', 'Stretching the Vocabulary' and ‘The City of Large and Small’, the workbook provides inspiring key themes for readers to take their cue from when initiating a design. Motives cover a wide-range of work that epitomise the theme. These include historical and Modernist examples, things observed in the street, work by current innovative architects and from Cook’s own rich archive, weaving together a rich and vibrant visual scrapbook of the everyday and the architectural, and past and present.
Universal Principles of Architecture
Take an expansive and provocative tour of architectural theory and practice, exploring everything from basic concepts to speculative design and subversive interventions. Universal Principles of Architecture illustrates in 100 concepts the importance, possibilities, challenges, and roles that architecture plays in shaping the world. This radical and perhaps surprising survey is divided into five sections: Archetypes, Methods, Conditions, Relationships, and Imaginaries. And, each of the five sections in the book introduces in 20 principles architecture at different scales and stages of the design process. Through an inclusive and holistic approach, the book refers to initial design ideas, crea...
