Designing Sustainable Cities
In view of the fact that, by 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities, the subject of "sustainable urban design" is an important issue for UNESCO’s Cities of Design. Taking into account that urban design can make a significant contribution to positive changes in environmental and social matters, the book presents seven inspirational examples for copying; included are analyses and measures for the cities of Detroit, Graz, Istanbul, Mexico City, and Puebla, as well as non-location bound projects. The authors investigate the efficiency of certificates, climate installations for urban spaces, and new ecological, architectural, and sociological concepts for mega-cities. A reader for stakeholders at the interface of social and urban design.
Die Substanz der Räume
Nach ihrer Geschichte der Szenografie (erschienen 2021) nimmt sich die Autorin nun der Werkstoffe an, aus denen man für die Materialisierung von Ausstellungen wählen kann. In der systematischen Zusammenstellung werden gebräuchliche Materialien vorgestellt und unter den Gesichtspunkten der chemischen, physikalischen, elektrischen, thermischen, mechanischen und akustischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Auch Fragen der historischen Gebräuchlichkeit sowie der Haltbarkeit, des Gewichts, des Preises und zu ökologischen Aspekten werden beantwortet. Somit bietet das Buch eine wertvolle Hilfe zur Planbarkeit und Abschätzung, etwa in Bezug auf das Wechselspiel mit den ausgestellten Objekten sowie die Themen Brandschutz, Haltbarkeit, Transportfähigkeit, Wetterbeständigkeit, Kostenabschätzung und ökologischer Fußabdruck.
Die Donau - Länder am Strome
Länderverbindend und fächerübergreifend! Mit der Donau wird in dieser Ausgabe ein großes Kulturthema aufgegriffen. Die Donau als zentraler europäischer Strom, der - von West nach Ost fließend - zehn Länder verbindet, ist Thema und Ideengeberin dieses Heftes.

Practice-based Design Research
Practice-Based Design Research provides a companion to masters and PhD programs in design research through practice. The contributors address a range of models and approaches to practice-based research, consider relationships between industry and academia, researchers and designers, discuss initiatives to support students and faculty during the research process, and explore how students' experiences of undertaking practice-based research has impacted their future design and research practice. The text is illustrated throughout with case study examples by authors who have set up, taught or undertaken practice-based design research, in a range of national and institutional contexts.
Urban Schools
This book explores the design of schools in urban settings, the increased challenges in meeting the typical expectations of school design, and what the successful new typology of a school in a city might be. A practical guide as well as a theoretical exploration of ideas.
Spatial Practices
This book explores ‘spatial practices’, a loose and expandable set of approaches that embrace the political and the activist, the performative and the curatorial, the architectural and the urban. Acting upon and engaging with the public realm, the field of spatial practices allows people to reconnect with their own sense of agency through engagement in space and place, exploring and prototyping alternative futures in the here and now. The 24 chapters contain essays, visual essays and interviews, featuring contributions from an international set of experimental practitioners including Jeanne van Heeswijk (Netherlands), Teddy Cruz (Estudio Teddy Cruz + Fonna Forman, San Diego), Hector (USA), The Decorators (London) and OOZE (Netherlands). Beautifully designed with full colour illustrations, Spatial Practices advances dialogue and collaboration between academics and practitioners and is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals in architecture, urban planning and urban policy.
