Urban Labyrinths
Urban Labyrinths: Informal Settlements, Architecture, and Social Change in Latin America examines intervention initiatives in informal settlements in Latin American cities as social, spatial, architectural, and cultural processes. From the mid-20th century to the present, Latin America and other regions in the Global South have experienced a remarkable demographic trend, with millions of people moving from rural areas to cities in search of work, healthcare, and education. Without other options, these migrants have created self-built settlements mostly located on the periphery of large metropolitan areas. While the initial reaction of governments was to eliminate these communities, since the...
Informality and the City
This book advances the agenda of informality as a transnational phenomenon, recognizing that contemporary urban and regional challenges need to be addressed at both local and global levels. This project may be considered a call for action. Its urgency derives from the impact of the pandemic combined with the effects of climate change in informal settlements around the world. While the notion of “the informal” is usually associated with the analysis and interventions in informal settlements, this book expands the concept of informality to acknowledge its interdisciplinary parameters. The book is geographically organized into five sections. The first part provides a conceptual overview of ...

Routledge Research Companion to Landscape Architecture
The Routledge Research Companion to Landscape Architecture considers landscape architecture’s increasingly important cultural, aesthetic, and ecological role. The volume reflects topical concerns in theoretical, historical, philosophical, and practice-related research in landscape architecture – research that reflects our relationship with what has traditionally been called ‘nature’. It does so at a time when questions about the use of global resources and understanding the links between human and non-human worlds are more crucial than ever. The twenty-five chapters of this edited collection bring together significant positions in current landscape architecture research under five br...
prozesse formen
Die Stankowski-Stiftung in Stuttgart hat den Münchner Designer und Hochschullehrer Kilian Stauss zum Stankowski-Preiträger Kunst + Design 2014 ausgewählt. Ziel dieser Stiftung ist es, die Einheit von Kunst und Design herauszustellen und die strenge Trennung von freier und angewandter Kunst und Gestaltung zu überwinden. Das Werk von Kilian Stauss, der interdisziplinär in den Gebieten product design, graphic design und interior design arbeitet sowie in den Schnittfeldern interface design, signage design, furniture design und in der Lehre tätig ist, wird diesem Anspruch voll und ganz gerecht. Das zu den im Jahr 2015 stattfindenden Ausstellungen herausgegebene Buch prozesse formen zeigt eine breite Auswahl seiner Projekte aus annähernd 20 Jahren in Bildern, Zeichnungen und erläuternden Texten und ist für jeden am Thema Design Interessierten ein Gewinn. Sein Titel kann aktiv wie passiv verstanden werden: Einerseits formt Stauss Gestaltungsprozesse und andererseits führen die von ihm initiierten Prozesse selbst zu Formen mit einer inneren Logik. Das Buch macht beide anschaulich.
