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...
Architektur Alpiner Sicherheit
The use of protective measures against natural hazards is a key factor in alpine culture. It is surprising that discussion of this is conducted internally, but scarcely perceived by the public. A synopsis of the protective architecture, the perceived image of the Alps, and the slow process of adapting public images to the condition of the structures brings together what has been considered separately in the past. That is, the landscapes consumed by tourists must first be stabilised at considerable cost. This book shows how the production of safety zones is effective in the field of tension between aesthetics and technology and offers perspectives on landscape that extend beyond the assumed unspoilt quality of nature. Interdisciplinary study explaining image production relating to safety architectures in the Alps for the cultural exploitation of service-providing landscapes Tapping into a broad field of image documents Instructive contribution to the topic of "political landscape" Look inside
Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge
»Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge« is an academic journal in, on, and from the discipline of architecture, addressing the constitution of architectural knowledge. It explores methods genuine to the discipline and architectural modes of interdisciplinary methodological adaptions. Processes, and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attention to the architectural design in practice and research. »Making Sense: Thinking through Making Architecture«, Issue 06/2023, investigates how the production of architectural knowledge involves the interaction of the body, the material reality, and the environmental world. Making sense here is defined as the production of architectural knowledge through the physical act of making. The contributors to this issue show how making architecture may be understood as a way of thinking.
Kay Fisker
Kay Fisker (1893-1965) is considered one of the most influential Danish architects of the twentieth century, and yet there has existed until now no in-depth English-language study of his works and writing. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book examines Fisker's key projects – from his early railway stations and innovative housing projects to the Danish Academy in Rome – and analyses his work as a historian and writer. Fisker's output is closely associated with the functional tradition, a hybridization of international modernism and regional architectural typologies, and this book shows how his architectural poetics can be understood as an amalgamation of an ideal order with the contingent conditions of landscapes and urban sites. Hybridization is not only a valuable notion for understanding Fisker, the book argues, it can also be applied to an understanding of modernist architecture as a whole, with its various expressions, agendas and tensions both regionally and internationally.
Stones Speak - Hebrew Tombstones from Padua, 1529-1862
From Renaissance to Risorgimento, the Hebrew tombstones of Padua express the cultural currents of their age, in text and art. The inscriptions are mainly rhymed and metered poems, about life, love and faith, while the design and ornamentation of the actual stones reflect prevailing architectural and artistic tastes. Additionally, the inscriptions illuminate the society of Padua's Jews, and the social and cultural changes they underwent during the 330 years covered by this study. Thus these tombstones capture the flow of Italian Jewish culture from Renaissance to Baroque, and from the early modern to the modern era.

IMAGINARIES ON MATTER: TOOLS, MATERIALS, ORIGINS
Imaginaries on Matter – Tools, Materials, Origins, promotes an innovative architectural research agenda that connects historical-cultural written research with digitally led material explorations. The common thread is the notion of the material imagination, disclosed in the reverie, or material daydream, which challenges overly pragmatic or unreflective material choices within current architectural practice. In bonding our imagination directly with matter while also confronting new technologies, this book promotes strategies by which architects' and builders' future relations with materials can stay rooted within the deeper concerns of cultural meaning. Imaginaries on Matter includes interviews with Aulets Arquitectes, Alibi Studio, Ensamble Studio, Geometria, Helen & Hard, KieranTimberlake, Supermanoeuvre, and Vandkunsten, as well as a postscript by David Leatherbarrow. Edited by Thomas Bo Jensen, Carolina Dayer, Jonathan Foote
Maltidet som stilleben
Sodt, salt og syndigt. Mad er en hovedingrediens i livet, og maltidet er et af de mest elskede motiver i billedkunsten. Siden antikken har kunstnere haft det daglige brod pa menuen. Men de udstiller ikke kun grontsager og osters. De udstiller ogsa synd, renhed og fordAerv. I Maltidet som stilleben. Fra offergave til fastfoodobjekt prAesenterer kunsthistoriker Lise Bek maltidsstillebenet og undersoger de forestillinger, man i artusinder har gjort sig om mad. Hun folger motivet gennem kunsthistorien frem til i dag og afdAekker dets mange moralske, politiske og religiose betydninger. Undervejs udforsker hun blandt andet den kristne middelalders symboltAenkning, modreformationens mystik og modernismens madkamp. Og hun viser, hvordan de ofte simple anretninger udfordrer kunstens traditionelle grAenser som popkunst og kvindekamp, mens de til stadighed forforer - og bedrager - den sultne beskuer.
