Introducing Architectural Tectonics
Introducing Architectural Tectonics is an exploration of the poetics of construction. Tectonic theory is an integrative philosophy examining the relationships formed between design, construction, and space while creating or experiencing a work of architecture. In this text, author Chad Schwartz presents an introductory investigation into tectonic theory, subdividing it into distinct concepts in order to make it accessible to beginning and advanced students alike. The book centers on the tectonic analysis of twenty contemporary works of architecture located in eleven countries including Germany, Italy, United States, Chile, Japan, Bangladesh, Spain, and Australia and designed by such notable ...
andererseits - Yearbook of Transatlantic German Studies
andererseits provides a forum for research, commentary, and creative work on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, we welcome contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived. As a specifically transatlantic endeavor, we also highlight select topics in American Studies that impact German Studies. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This issue features sections about German Studies approaches to media literacy, Stephen Dowden's book »Modernism and Mimesis« and the poetics of ambiguous memory.

space.time.narrative
Making exhibitions is a collaborative art, producing is a multi-layered unity of ideas and objects, of invention and manifestation, of content and form. However, there is an antagonistic dimension to it, because content and form are traditionally represented by the entirely different realms of curator and designer. Future successful developments in exhibition-making are dependent on whether this gap of antagonism can be bridged. space.time.narrative calls for a paradigmatic shift of focus. It puts forward a unique approach, breaking down traditional barriers and offering a wide-ranging theoretical context, redefining and expanding the parameters and the dynamics of the exhibition-format in t...
Architecture's Pretexts
The aim of this book is to expose readers to architecture’s pretexts that include literary narratives, film, theatre, painting, music, and ritual, as a bridge between diverse intellectual territories and architecture. It introduces a selection of seminal modern and contemporary architectural projects, their situation within the built environment, and their intellectual and formal situation/context as pretexts and design paradigms. Connections between diverse bodies of information will be cultivated along with the ability to posit consequential relationships for the production of architecture. Architecture’s Pretexts seeks to cultivate a vision for architecture that sponsors operative lin...

Hanne Darboven
"This short monograph combines works by Hanne Darboven and John Cage from the stock of the Bayerische Staatsgalerie moderner Kunst in Munich. It shows the independent oeuvres of two highly individual artists whose works touch upon Minimal Art. Joachim Kaak's substantial essay examines Hanne Darboven's 7 Tafeln, II from 1972/73, a geometric construction on squared millimetre paper based on prime numbers and the square. Corinna Thierolf analyses John Cage's Ryoanji, a loose series of drawings made between 1983 and 1992. The title refers to the rock garden of the Ryoanji monastery in the north-west of Kyoto. With the help of the I Ching, the ancient book of wisdom and truth which Cofucius re-edited. Cage established a number system by which he encircled 15 stones he had picked out himself with 17 different pencils. On the basis of a complex concept based on random operations, this created partly very delicate circular formations, partly a structure composed of a dense tissue of lines. These are reproduced in this book according to a rhythm predetermined by John Cage"--Publisher website.
Religiöse Erwachsenenbildung
Religiose Erwachsenenbildung befindet sich im Umbruch: Wahrend die erfolgreiche Ara kirchlicher Bildungshauser zu Ende geht, entstehen neue urbane Lehr- und Lernzentren. Die klassische Katechese weicht vermehrt einer Bildung, die sich im Dienst religioser Selbstauslegung bzw. biografischer Selbststeuerung versteht. Die vorliegende Publikation beleuchtet diese Verschiebungen, diskutiert Theoriemodelle und fragt nach einer religiosen Erwachsenenbildung der Zukunft. Auf dem Hintergrund einer vielfach konstatierten Milieuverengung kirchlicher Angebote analysieren die Autorinnen und Autoren Profile von Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern sowie Zielgruppen und reflektieren so eine Thematik, die in den letzten Jahren im akademischen Diskurs wenig bearbeitet wurde. Mit Beitragen von Stefan Altmeyer, Monika Jakobs, Claudia Kohli Reichenbach, Isabelle Noth, David Pluss, Thomas Schlag, Daniel Schmid Holz, Friedrich Schweitzer, Jurgen Wolff.

L'avenir des Réformés
La situation des Eglises réformées de Suisse s'est dramatiquement détériorée au cours de ces vingt dernières années et l'avenir est plutôt sombre. Tous les indicateurs montrent que la désaffection actuelle va se poursuivre, voire même s'accélérer, avec comme incidence notoire une diminution substantielle des ressources. Cette évolution suscite d'ores et déjà des réactions positives au sein des Eglises cantonales de Suisse avec, pour certaines, l'élaboration de nouvelles politiques de communication, de gouvernance et d'identification méthodique des demandes spirituelles de la population. Sur la base de plus de cinquante entretiens avec des experts et l'analyse du contexte démographique de la foi protestante aujourd'hui en Suisse, les auteurs présentent ici un tableau réaliste qui s'avèrera précieux pour affronter et anticiper les difficultés à venir. Ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux qu'intéresse l'avenir de la religion et des Eglises dans les sociétés modernes ainsi qu'à tous ceux qui, au sein des Eglises, sont ou seront appelés à élaborer des stratégies de développement à court, moyen et long terme.
