Die meisten Gebäude, die in den nächsten Jahrzehnten in Europa benötigt werden, sind längst gebaut. Die Bauaufgaben der Zukunft liegen in der geschickten (Um-)Nutzung und Veränderung von Bestehendem, ob bei der Sanierung von Altstädten, beim Anbau an Wohnhäuser, bei der Erweiterung öffentlicher Gebäude oder der Umnutzung ganzer Fabrikareale. Das Bauen im Bestand erfordert spezifische Vorgehensweisen bei Planung, Bauausführung und Umsetzung. Die Bandbreite reicht dabei vom Arbeiten mit den Vorgaben des Denkmalschutzes, dem behutsamen Sanieren, bis hin zum vollständigen Überformen des Vorgefundenen. Neben der ästhetischen Transformation spielen auch technische Aspekte wie die ener...

Text in English and German. Early in the 20th century, Robert Bosch, the founder of the Stuttgart electrical business, built a large villa on the hills east of the city. It was half Palladian, half in the reform style of the period before the First World War. The building was to meet the head of the company's need for prestige, and to provide a private refuge thanks to the pleasant qualities of its large park and open position. The foundation of the same name is now housed in the Villa Bosch, but the space available has not been adequate for some time. As the company also needed rooms for seminars and other events, a decision was taken to build new accommodation next to the villa. Seven well...
Presenting Difficult Pasts Through Architecture
Architectural design can play a role in helping make the past present in meaningful ways when applied to preexisting buildings and places that carry notable and troubling pasts. In this comparative analysis, Rumiko Handa establishes the critical role architectural designs play in presenting difficult pasts by examining documentation centers on National Socialism in Germany. Presenting Difficult Pasts Through Architecture analyzes four centers – Cologne, Nuremberg, Berlin, and Munich – from the point of view of their shared intent to make the past present at National Socialists' perpetrator sites. Applying original frameworks, Handa considers what more architectural design could do toward meaningful representations and interpretations of difficult pasts. This book is a must-read for students, practitioners, and academics interested in how architectural design can participate in presenting the difficult pasts of historical places in meaningful ways.
