Gestures in Time
This book features the winner and another five outstanding projects from the 19th Architecture Prize of the Land Steiermark. They are as engaging and diverse as the region — from a tiny sliver of riverside to one of the most visited Basilicas in the Catholic world. From architects taking their first steps, to those at the very height of their careers. From the Mur valley to nearly a kilometer above sea level. The stories these projects tell describe a different way of doing architecture. They speak of agents of social equity and cultivators of culture and the spirit above economic goals. In a world addicted to speed, the careful gestures in time of Styria’s richest architecture show what is possible when we slow down.
The Museum
This book is the first part of a three-volume field guide to the future of architecture. The collection maps contemporary architectural practice and urban planning, presented through the words and ideas of some of its key players and change-makers. From institutions, activists, thinkers, curators and architects to urban bloggers, polemicists, critics and publishers, Archifutures presents the people shaping tomorrow’s architecture and cities – and thereby helping to shape our societies of the future as well. This first volume of Archifutures, The Museum includes thought pieces, essays, interviews, and discussions – in both words and pictures – between members of Future Architecture platform. Steering the dialogue on the contemporary role of these institutional bodies are current practitioners and thinkersin the architecture and design field. Designed by Diana Portela with Janar Siniloo and Lena Giovanazzi.
Solar City, Linz Pichling, Nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung
"The city administration of the Unz decided take an innovative step in the 90's: housing had to be built for over 10,000 people, which made a large-scale city expansion necessary. Since conventional buildings consume large amounts of fossil fuel, the decision was made to pursue a purely ecological variant for the first time in a dense residential project."--BOOK JACKET.
GAM 12: Structural Affairs
Innovative konstruktive Entwürfe sind in zunehmendem Maße auf die interdisziplinärere Zusammenarbeit zwischen Architekten, Ingenieuren und der Bauindustrie angewiesen. GAM.12 - Structural Affairs beobachtet das Feld der Kooperationen in den dynamischen Arbeitsabläufen der Gegenwartsarchitektur. Neue digitale Methoden, Werkstoffe und Fertigungstechniken erfordern eine Beteiligung von immer höher spezialisierten Akteuren am Planungs- und Bauprozess: sie beeinflussen und prägen das jeweilige architektonische Entwurfsprogramm von der Entwurfsidee über die Ausführungsplanung bis hin zur Konstruktion. GAM.12 fragt nach den Potenzialen und Synergien dieser Entwicklung für die architektonische Praxis und stellt aktuelle Projekte sowie theoretische Positionen zur Diskussion.
Graz Biografie
Die Geschichte der Stadt und der Menschen in kompakter und reich illustrierter Form. Die Autoren erzählen die Grazer Stadtgeschichte vom 12. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Italienische Festungsmeister bauten Graz als äußersten Vorposten des "Heiligen Römischen Reiches" gegen das Osmanische Reich aus. Diese Architektur und viele andere Einflüsse prägen die zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehörende Altstadt. Lange sahen sich die Stadtväter als Vertreter der "deutschesten Stadt" der Habsburgermonarchie. 1938 war Graz nationalsozialistisch, noch bevor Hitlers Truppen in Österreich einmarschierten. Nach 1945 mussten sich die Grazer*innen neu erfinden: Industrie, Kultur und Wissenschaft bilden heute die Markenzeichen. Wie kam es dazu? Ein reich bebildertes Lesebuch, das die aktuellsten Forschungsergebnisse zusammenfasst.
La Pesadilla de la Participación
La Pesadilla de la Participación. Markus Miessen Edición en castellano del libro The Nightmare of Participation [Crossbench Praxis as a Mode of Criticality] En línea con el estado de la profesión en los tiempos que corren, este libro cierra la trilogía sobre “Participación”, con la que Miessen reclama la figura del “outsider desinteresado” alguien no sujeto a los protocolos existentes y que se anima a lanzar propuestas solamente armado de su inteligencia creativa y la voluntad de generar un cambio en su entorno. Miessen propone una forma urgente de participación que traspase el consenso político interesado e inefectivo. Un agente de conflictos constructivos, que refresque los campos del conocimiento con una nueva mirada... A veces, "la democracia" tiene que ser evitada a toda costa. El libro incluye: - Introducción de Eyal Weizman - Conversación con Chantal Mouffe - Entrevista con Hans Ulrich Obrist - Post-scripts por Bassam El Baroni, Jeremy Beaudry y Carson Chan.
