Beauty and Monstrosity in Art and Culture
This edited volume takes a new look at an old question: what is the relationship between beauty and monstrosity? How has the notion of beauty transformed through the years and how does it coincide with monstrous ontologies? Contributors offer an interdisciplinary approach to how these two concepts are interlinked and emphasize the ways the beautiful and the monstrous pervade human experience. The two notions are explored through the axis of human transformation, focusing on body, identity, and gender, while questioning both how humans transform their body and space as well as how humans themselves are gradually transformed in different contexts. The pandemic, gender crisis, moral crisis, sociocultural instability, and environmental issues have redefined beauty and the relationship we have with it. Exploring these concepts through the lens of human transformation can yield valuable insights into what it means to be human in a world of constant change. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, archaeology, philosophy, architecture, and cultural studies.
CA²RE Berlin Proceedings: Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research
The fourth CA²RE, the Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research has been hosted in September 2018 at the Institute for Architecture of the Technische Universität Berlin, in association with the Architectural Research European Network Association (ARENA), the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) and the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA). CA²RE intends to bring together senior staff and early-career researchers to improve research quality through an intensive peer review at key intermediate stages. It contributes to the diverse fields of architectural and artistic research such as environmental design, sustainable development, interior d...
Drawing Futures
Drawing Futures brings together international designers and artists for speculations in contemporary drawing for art and architecture.Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act ...

Artefakte des Entwerfens
Der Tagungsband versammelt Beiträge des 4. Forums Architekturwissenschaft zum architektonischen Entwerfen und seine Artefakte. Die vom Netzwerk Architekturwissenschaft ausgerichtete Konferenz hat im November 2017 an der TU Berlin stattgefunden. Die Beitragenden zur vorliegenden Publikation fragen nach den epistemischen Potentialen von Skizzen, Renderings, Modellen, Fotografien und Zeichnungen beim Entwerfen von Architektur. Sie folgen allesamt der These, dass Medien im Entwurf nicht nur abbilden, sondern ihrerseits Grundlage weiterer Wissenshandlungen sind. Anhand von Fallbeispielen, die vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart reichen, zeichnen die Texte den besonderen qualitativen Einfluss na...
Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Boosting Social Enterprise Development Good Practice Compendium

Drawn to Design
The book is a guide for students and teachers to understand the need for, the role of and the methods and techniques of freehand analytical sketching in architecture. The presentation focuses on drawing as an approach to and phase of architectural design. The conceptual goal of this approach is to use drawing not as illustration or depiction, but as exploration. The first part of the book discusses underlying concepts of freehand sketching in design education and practice as a complement to digital technologies. The main component is a series of chapters that constitute a typology of fundamental issues in architecture and urban design; for instance, issues of "façade" are illustrated with s...
It's different with you
This book is a collection of studies about forms of address in the world’s languages, with a focus on contrast and difference. The individual chapters highlight inter- and intralinguistic variation in the expression of address and its sociol-cultural functions across media, registers, geographical contexts and time – in more than 15 languages. The volume showcases the variety of approaches that exists in current address research, including the breadth of contrastive methodologies harnessing surveys and questionnaires, focus group discussions, corpus linguistics, discourse and conversation analysis to offer complementary perspectives on culture-specific address practice. This volume is for students and researchers of address and social interaction in a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including various sub-disciplines of linguistics (such as contrastive, variational and intercultural pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and morphology) and intercultural communication, as well as experts in individual languages and qualitative sociologists.

Media Agency - Neue Ansätze zur Medialität in der Architektur
Mediale Prozesse sind nicht nur bloße Mittel zur Darstellung und Simulation von Architektur, sondern selbst an der Herstellung von Architektur beteiligt. Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich dieser generativen und aktiven Funktion von Medien - definiert als Media Agency - in Architekturtheorie und -praxis. Ziel ist es, die Funktion von Medien in Entwurfsprozessen zu überdenken, neu zu bewerten und die Hybridisierung von Analogem und Digitalem anzustoßen.
