As cities evolve architects are constantly searching for appropriate architectonic solutions, and in this book the authors present a systematic examination of innovative single-family houses and residential buildings in the context of presentday cities. The latest developments are reviewed in essays and thematic chapters discuss such topics as lowenergy building, the use of prefabricated materials, or low-budget building. A range of international examples from architects such as Wiel Arets, Shigeru Ban, Ben van Berkel, Kees Christiaanse, Philippe Gazeau, Frank O. Gehry, Steven Holl, Hans Kollhoff, Morger & Degelo, MVRDV, Jean Nouvel, Kas Oosterhuis, illustrate the subjects discussed. "Housing" and "Single-Family Housing" were previously published separately, each proving hugely popular. Now both volumes have been incorporated into a single, lowpriced edition.
Good housing proved to be the savior of the working world in the last pandemic. The term "family" could also be understood much more broadly today: Neighborhoods, co-living, working groups have taken on much of the characteristics of a close-knit, jointly socialized group. Three presented projects reflect three different rhythms of life of three families between their privacy and the public. Three different ambiences, open and closed spaces, offer a range of uses lived through self-determination.

This book examines multimodality in architecture and its impacts on collaborative, technical and educational processes or systems. Multimodality is becoming increasingly critical in contemporary architectural practice and education. Creative design teams face new challenges when they embrace new modes of communication, technology, and knowledge development processes. From diverse online modes of communication to shared digital environments, generative AI and advanced hardware solutions, new modes of information creation, sharing, and application are changing the ways architects and designers work. The book presents new research which empowers international researchers and designers to work more effectively in a diverse range of digital environments. Whether the readers are architects, teachers, students, or scholars, this book provides critical insights and practical tools for understanding and optimising processes in architecture and design.
A collection of essays on architecture of modern China, arranged chronologically covering a period from 1729 to 2008, focusing mainly on the twentieth century. The distinctive feature of this book is a blending of ‘critical’ and ‘historical’ research, taking a long-range perspective transcending the current scene and the Maoist period. This is a short, elegant book that condenses the wide subject matter into key topics.
Die vorliegende Publikation zeigt exemplarisch ausgewählte Projekte des Forschungsbereiches Hochbau 1, welche in der jeweiligen Entwurfsaufgabe im Entwerfen und Konstruieren erstellt wurden. Als Einstieg in die Publikation dient die Erläuterung zur „Methodik des simultanen Entwerfens“. Im Rahmen der Lehrinhalte der Abteilung für Hochbau und Entwerfen liegt der Fokus bei allen Bauaufgaben in der wichtigen Verknüpfung zwischen Konstruktion und Architekturform. Ausformuliert heißt das, ein Gedankengebäude aufzubauen, bei dem die Raum- und Formvorstellung bei gleichzeitiger Anwendung räumlicher und konstruktiver Logik ausdrucksvolle Architektur hervorbringt. Abschließend wird der Arb...
Die Publikation Stadtcollage Split stellt eine Auswahl von Projekten des Forschungsbereiches Hochbau 1 an sechs verschiedenen Orten im bestehenden städtischen Gewebe der kroatischen Hafenstadt Split vor. Die Entwürfe reflektieren präzise formulierte Lehrinhalte mit vertiefter Darstellung der Konstruktionseigenschaften. Als Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Publikation dient die Einleitung über die Methodik des simultanen Entwerfens. Der Schwerpunkt der Lehre der Abteilung für Hochbau und Entwerfen liegt bei allen Entwurfsaufgaben in der essenziellen Verknüpfung zwischen Konstruktion und Architekturform. Anders formuliert bedeutet das, ein Gedankengebäude aufzubauen, bei dem die Raum- un...
The lecturers and students at TU Wien and UNSW Sydney tackled the subject of subsidised residential construction in Vienna within the framework of a joint course in order to examine existing concepts and development trends that succeeded during the Red Vienna era. Particularly in view of the fact that it will be the architects currently in training who will in future also be contributing to the shaping of the cityscape while producing good and affordable living space, the results from this Australian-Austrian cooperation are to be understood as a collection of portraits of successful examples from Vienna with the intention of creating possible incentives for future growth and living.
The MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the Politecnico di Milano, School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, that provides an international design forum for schools, teachers and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss issues and share ambitions that education implies. Its aim is to stimulate cross-over thinking between researches and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. Each class has an international guest professor of high profile whose activity and interests are related to the different study courses and disciplinary areas characterising our School.
