Utopia Computer. The “New” in Architecture?
The critical concern of the book “Utopia Computer” is the euphoria, expectation and hope inspired by the introduction of computers within architecture in the early digital age. With the advent of the personal computer and the launch of the Internet in the 1990s, utopian ideals found in architectural discourse from the 1960s were revisited and adjusted to the specific characteristics of digital media. Taking the 1990s discourse on computation as a starting point, the contributions of this book grapple with the utopian promises associated with topics such as participation, self-organization, and non-standard architecture. By placing these topics in a historical framework, the book offers p...

The Death and Life of the Total Work of Art
This book is a compendum of the essays presented during the 12th International Bauhaus Colloquium 2013. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Henry van de Velde's birthday, the contributions of the colloquium highlighted the historic meaning of the Gesamtkunstwerk and its significance in more recent discussions. The Death and Life of the Total Work of Art is conceived as a new interdisciplinary approach to a concept that is not only an important aspect of the Bauhaus, but also a key element of modern architecture and architectural theory in general.
Are You A Model?
Dieses Buch nähert sich Architekturmodellen nicht als starre Objekte, sondern als Anstoß für die Frage: Was genau ist eigentlich ein Modell? Wann im Entwurfsprozess entfaltet ein Modell seine Kräfte oder erfüllt seine Aufgaben? 30 Essays geben Antworten auf neun gezielte Fragen, verflechten disziplinäre, geografische und wissenschaftliche Perspektiven und fördern dabei überraschende Gemeinsamkeiten zu Tage. Gerahmt werden die Beobachtungen von einem einführenden Essay sowie einem Gespräch zwischen der Historikerin Annabel Wharton und dem Künstler Thomas Demand. Are You a Model? erkundet das Modell als Phänomen und Werkzeug der Architektur, ohne nach abschließenden Antworten zu s...
Psychosocial Explorations of Film and Television Viewing
Most people have, at some point, experienced powerful, often strange and disconcerting, responses to films and television programmes of which they cannot always make sense. Drawing on insights from psychoanalysis, this book argues that the seemingly mundane and everyday activity of film and television viewing in the home is in fact extraordinary.
Gray Divorce
After twenty, thirty, or even forty years of marriage, countless vacations together, raising well-adjusted children, and sharing property and finances—what could go wrong? Gray Divorce offers a provocative look at the growing rate of marital splits after the age of 50, showcasing the voices of men and women who are considering, going through, or have undergone one. With empathy and insight, Jocelyn Crowley, who has written widely on family issues, uncovers the reasons for why men and women divorce—and the penalties and benefits that each pay for their choice. From the outside, many may ask why couples in mid-life and readying for retirement choose to make a drastic change in their marita...
Daphnes
Eagerly awaited by Daphne enthusiasts and collectors, this is an intensely practical account of a remarkably diverse and reputedly difficult genus. It will ensure daphnes are better known and more widely grown, and it will undoubtedly remain the standard work on daphnes for years to come.
Daphne
There is still a place where magicks exist. Where a wish can come true simply by believing. The penguins, seemingly just black and white, are so much more. They are the last magical creatures of the Earth. Through rituals and tradition, the remaining magicks are made into wishes which each penguin gives up to the sky, wishing their wish through the clouds and up towards the heavens where they are told they hide and find their destiny behind the moon. But this is not the story of tradition, nor of those wishes that have all but been wished away. This is the story of one penguin who will not abandon her wish to chance.
