Senses and the City
The papers collected in this volume discuss the sensory dimension of cityscapes, with focus on touch and smell. Both have been traditionally considered "lower senses" and thus unworthy of being cultivated - objects of social prohibitions and targets of suppressing strategies in modern architecture and city planning. The book brings together approaches from anthropology, aesthetics, the theory of architecture, art and design research, psychophysiology, ethology, analytic chemistry, etc. (Series: Austria: Forschung und Wissenschaft - Interdisziplinar - Vol. 4)
The Dynamic Landscape
The Dynamic Landscape advances a fusion of scientific and ecological planning design philosophy that can address the need for more sustainable designed landscapes. It is a major statement on the design, implementation and management of ecologically inspired landscape vegetation.
Designing atmospheres
Cities grow and change. New urban space emerges and existing urban spaces are being changed. We expect from these spaces not only to fulfil important functions, but also to possess particular spatial qualities. How can such qualities be defined and evaluated? Jürgen Weidinger, professor for landscape architecture at the Technische Universität Berlin answers to these questions by engagement with the phenomenon of atmosphere. This way, the spatial quality of urban places, such as parks, promenades and squares, can be augmented. Weidinger offers a method for the designing of atmospheric places. This approach can also serve to evaluate design concepts and realised projects. The reader presents...
Changes in Scenery
"Landscape architecture's potential does not lie in a unified profession, but in polarization." This key idea of author Thies Schröder is reflected in the diverse approaches of the 14 offices whose work we now present in updated portraits of improved quality. Reactions to Changes in Scenery: "Thies Schröder's book shows us that we are at a very specific moment of change and exchange in the history of European landschape architecture." Christophe Girot, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology "...altogether a refreshing read ... it is to be hoped that it will find an audience outside landscape architecture circles." TOPOS "For all who are curious to see landscapes as art and for all who are looking for inspiration." The Single Family Home "These are no longer gardens as we have hitherto known them." FAZ
Vier Perspektiven landschaftsarchitektonischen Denkens
Was ist gute Landschaftsarchitektur? – Undine Giseke, Norbert Kühn, Cordula Loidl-Reisch und Jürgen Weidinger antworten in Auseinandersetzung mit den Konzepten Urbaner Metabolismus, Designing Urban Nature, Alltagstauglichkeit und Atmosphäre. Mit den Konzepten soll etwas verstanden und sollen zugleich Impulse für das Entwerfen gegeben werden. Das kennzeichnet eine besondere Form der Reflexion, die hier als landschaftsarchitektonisches Denken bezeichnet wird. What is good landscape architecture? — Undine Giseke, Norbert Kühn, Cordula Loidl-Reisch, and Jürgen Weidinger provide answers to this question, examining the concepts of urban metabolism, designing urban nature, suitability for daily use, and atmosphere. Their articles seek to bring clarity and provide inspiration for design work. This characterizes a special form of reflection that is referred to here as landscape-architectural thinking.
"Viel herrlich und schöne Gärten"
Trotz der langen qualitativ und quantitativ ergiebigen Geschichte der Gartenkunst und der Gartenkultur im Wiener Raum liegen bisher kaum Veröffentlichungen dazu vor. Historische Gärten und Parks als wichtige Beiträge zur Kunst-und Kulturgeschichte zählen jedoch zum kulturellen Erbe von Wien und verdienen daher verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit. Mit diesem Buch wird in chronologischer Abfolge die Gartengeschichte dieser Stadt seit der frühen Siedlungstätigkeit bis ins erste Drittel des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts ausführlich und anschaulich anhand von charakteristischen Beispielen erzählt.
Hybrid environments for universities
This publication is the result of an international and interdisciplinary expert meeting at Technische Universität Berlin, in March 2020. The aim of the expert meeting was to collaboratively write and publish a book, within five days, on the central question: Which organizational structures and processes at universities support a strategic as well as innovative campus development? As experts with an interdisciplinary background including the social sciences, public real estate, urban planning, architecture and landscape architecture, we could examine the question from a holistic perspective and gain new insights. The resulting manifesto states necessary steps and strategies to create innovative and sustainable hybrid environments for universities. It addresses all decision makers – executives, practitioners and contributors alike – as all of us face the challenge of limited resources and needing to do more with less.
New Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture is now a broad range of very different presentations of free space: sometimes strict, sometimes playful, powerful or reserved, provocative or almost unnoticeable. It comprises spacious natural and cultural landscapes, peaceful, almo
Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2018 TU Berlin
Als Technische Universität verstehen wir unter nachhaltige Entwicklung “klassischen” Themen wie Ökologie und Effizienz, aber auch Inter-/Transdisziplinarität, komplexe gesellschaftliche Problemstellungen, Interkulturalität, Anti-Diskriminierung, Partizipation, sozial-ökologische Transformation und dergleichen. Der Nachhaltigkeitsbericht wird darauf fokussieren, welchen Beitrag die TU zum Erreichen der 17 Zielen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung der Vereinten Nationen (SDG) leistet. Der Nachhaltigkeitsbericht versteht sich als Fortentwicklung der Umweltberichte der TU Berlin. As a technical university we view sustainable development holistically, considering “classical” issues such as ecology and efficiency but also inter/transdisciplinarity, complex social issues, interculturalism, antidiscrimination, participation, socio-ecological transformation, and so forth. The Sustainability Report focuses on TU Berlin’s contributions to achieving the 17 sustainable development goals (SDG) of the United Nations. The Sustainability Report is to be viewed as a further development of TU Berlin’s environmental reports.
