Friederike Von Rauch - In Secret
With a superb eye for the beauty and inconsistencies of inconspicuous details, the photobook In Secret: Friederike von Rauch presents the viewer with astounding views of interior spaces. Her compositions of light and shadow, devoid of people, disclose a subtle artistic aesthetic and are at times evocative of abstract painting. This volume features photographs from different series produced between 2009 and 2013. Her photographs - all taken with an analogue camera and in natural light - are characterized by an interaction of spatial experiences. Seen from von Rauch's point of view, dark alcoves, bare walls, individual objects, and traces of the human hand develop a life of their own while at the same time allowing room for interpretation.Text in English and German.
The Diez Albums
The five Diez albums in Berlin, acquired by Heinrich Friedrich von Diez in Constantinople around 1789, contain more than 400 figurative paintings, drawings, fragments, and calligraphic works originating for the most part from Ilkhanid, Jalayirid, and Timurid workshops. Gonnella, Weis and Rauch unite in this volume 21 essays that analyse their relation to their “parent” albums at the Topkapı Palace or examine specific works by reflecting upon their role in the larger history of book art in Iran. Other essays cover aspects such as the European and Chinese influence on Persianate art, aspects related to material and social culture, and the Ottoman interest in Persianate albums. This book m...
Kontrast oder Verschmelzung?
Kontrast oder Verschmelzung? "Erinnerungsort" oder "geheilte Wunde"? Paradigmenwechsel im Umgang mit Ruinen? In der heutigen Architekturlandschaft finden sich prominente Beispiele, in denen Architekten einen Neubau mit einer Ruine verbinden. Die Kunsthalle St. Annen in Lübeck lässt die einstige Klosterkirche wieder in der Stadtsilhouette sichtbar werden, Peter Zumthor nutzt die Fragmente von St. Kolumba in Köln und David Chipperfield baut das Neue Museum in Berlin wieder auf. Und doch sind die Vorgehensweisen der Architekten gänzlich verschieden. Wird eine Leerstelle geschlossen, das Fragmentarische ästhetisiert oder Alt und Neu zu etwas Neuem verbunden? Sowohl Architekten als auch Denk...

Architectonic Space
Architectonic Space is the most complete and coherent treatise on the nature, purpose and meaning of architecture that has so far been attempted. It is the product of its author's lifetime pursuit of an idea that has haunted him from childhood: a search for the archetypal basis of the act of building.Seeing architecture not merely as the expression, but as the precondition of human culture, Hans van der Laan believes that its principles must be sought within architecture itself, rather than in technological, social or ideological factors. His buildings and writings stand out like tablets of stone amid the prevailing uncertainty and opportunism. The style and method of his book its rational building up of an argument founded on simple everyday experience remind one forcibly of the early Greek thinkers, just as Van der Laan's architecture recalls the houses and cities of the ancient world.
