German students of urban and regional planning from Berlin and Macedonian students of urban planning and architecture from Skopje will examine the construction of remembrance and its representation in the urban space of Skopje. Besides giving presentations on the theme, during a workshop in May the students will investigate specific sites of remembrance in Skopje and locate their nexuses of significance within different social contexts. Behind the ethnic divisions of the population lies the question of the similarities and differences between the various remembrance constructs. The workshop culminates in a presentation of the results and an exhibition in Skopje. At the final follow-up in Berlin the planned publication of the results will be arranged and the exhibition in Berlin organised
The Istrian Peninsula, which is made up of modern-day Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy suffered from the so-called "Istrian exodus" after the Second World War. This book looks at this difficult, silenced past and shifts the usual focus from migrants to those who stayed behind and to the new immigrants who came to the “emptied” towns.The research, based on individual memories, deals with silences and competing national discourses, reasons to stay and leave, hybrid border ethnic identities, and the renewal of Istrian society and its new social relations. It is a self-critical reflection on an ignored chapter of national history, which, with an empathetic approach, allows the silence to speak.
This edited collection brings together a wide range of topics that shed light on the social, cultural, economic, political and spatio-temporal changes influencing post-socialist cities of Eastern Europe. Different case studies are presented through papers that were presented at the Euroacademia International Conference series. Imaginaries, identities and transformations represent three blocks for understanding the ways in which visual narratives, memory and identity, and processes of alterity shape the symbolic meanings articulated and inscribed upon post-socialist cities. As such, this book stimulates a debate in order to provide alternative views on the dynamics, persistence and change broadly shaping mental mappings of Eastern Europe. The volume offers an opportunity for scholars, activists and practitioners to identify, discuss, and debate the multiple dimensions in which specific narratives of alterity making towards Eastern Europe preserve their salience today in re-furbished and re-fashioned manners.
The purpose of the colloquy was to list and describe the really new and promising technologies which are beginning to be applied in the legal sector; to assess the effectiveness of these technologies and record successes and failures; to make proposals for general policies in the legal and administrative sector concerning the use of such technologies and to propose priorities; to discuss concrete strategies for introducing or improving such systems, particularly in the administration of justice; to make proposals for the training of the persons called upon to organise and operate these legal information technology systems; and to contribute to the discussions in many European States on the revision of public management, in particular in respect of the cost-effectiveness of the methods employed.

Die Meister der Betonschalen Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts begann die Hochphase des Betonschalenbaus. Weltweit entstanden technisch avancierte Konstruktionen von aufsehenerregender Expressivität. Mit Félix Candela, Heinz Isler und Ulrich Müther nimmt dieses Buch exemplarisch drei Protagonisten dieser Bauweise in den Blick. Ihr Wirken – vorwiegend in Mexiko, der Schweiz und der DDR – fand unter sehr verschiedenen politischen, ökonomisch-sozialen und kulturellen Bedingungen statt. Die Autoren analysieren die Bauten und Projekte vor dem Hintergrund der Entwicklungen der Architektur und des Ingenieurwesens jener Zeit. Sie thematisieren wechselseitige Einflüsse, Gemeinsamkeiten wie Unterschiede in den Entwurfsprozessen, der Konstruktion und der Ausführung. Darüber hinaus werden Fragen der Rezeption und der heutigen Nutzung behandelt. Lernen von Félix Candela (1910–1997), Heinz Isler (1926–2009) und Ulrich Müther (1934–2007) und ihren historischen Schalenbauten Unbekanntes aus den Planarchiven Englisch mit Zusammenfassungen auf Deutsch und Spanisch
Tutorielle Lehre ist ein erfolgreiches Konzept an Hochschulen, besonders in der Studieneingangsphase. An der TU Darmstadt werden Tutorinnen und Tutoren schon lange in einzelnen Fachbereichen und der Hochschuldidaktischen Arbeitsstelle qualifiziert. Durch die Förderung im Qualitätspakt Lehre im Projekt "Kompetenzentwicklung durch interdisziplinäre Vernetzung von Anfang an" (KIVA) konnten die Konzepte weiterentwickelt und ausgeweitet werden. Der Band stellt die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen und Praxisansätze des Modells zur Qualifizierung von Fachtutorinnen und -tutoren vor. Im ersten Schritt ordnen die Autorinnen und Autoren die Tutorielle Lehre in den deutschen Hochschulkontext ein und b...
