wonderland MANUAL FOR EMERGING ARCHITECTS
In den ersten fünf Jahren eines neuen Architekturbüros entstehen typische Probleme, die bewältigt werden müssen. Basierend auf den Erfahrungsberichten junger Architekturbüros, die europaweit in Workshops eingeholt wurden, analysiert dieses Handbuch übereinstimmend beobachtete, häufig auftretende Problemfälle und bietet Ansätze zu deren Lösung. Das Besondere: sie wurden aus der täglichen Arbeitspraxis heraus entwickelt und sind real umsetzbar, auch weil sie auf die verschiedenen Aufbauphasen ausgerichtet wurden: Getting started, Making mistaktes, Going Public, Getting specialized und Making competitions. Für die zweite Auflage wurden die Texte ergänzt und korrigiert, Statistiken und Charts aktualisiert. Das flotte Erscheinungsbild bleibt so ansprechend wie in der ersten Auflage.
Critical Care
How architecture and urbanism can help to care for and repair a broken planet: essays and illustrated case studies. Today, architecture and urbanism are capital-centric, speculation-driven, and investment-dominated. Many cannot afford housing. Austerity measures have taken a disastrous toll on public infrastructures. The climate crisis has rendered the planet vulnerable, even uninhabitable. This book offers an alternative vision in architecture and urbanism that focuses on caring for a broken planet. Rooted in a radical care perspective that always starts from the given, in the midst of things, this edited collection of essays and illustrated case studies documents ideas and practices from a...
Masterplanning the Adaptive City
Computational design has become widely accepted into mainstream architecture, but this is the first book to advocate applying it to create adaptable masterplans for rapid urban growth, urban heterogeneity, through computational urbanism. Practitioners and researchers here discuss ideas from the fields of architecture, urbanism, the natural sciences, computer science, economics, and mathematics to find solutions for managing urban change in Asia and developing countries throughout the world. Divided into four parts (historical and theoretical background, our current situation, methodologies, and prototypical practices), the book includes a series of essays, interviews, built case studies, and...
Mischung: Possible!
Urban development for all Mischung: Possible! offers basic knowledge on mixed-use planning based on a case study of an urban development project. The book draws on a four-year experimental study of sustainable mixed-use inner-city district development at the site of the former Nordbahnhof railway station, one of Vienna’s largest development areas. The mixed-use scenarios include mobility, care work, zero emissions, the sharing economy, creative clusters, “fair business,” networked services, and urban manufacturing. The goals are to deliver both collective and individual added value for users and to develop innovative buildings in an “urban base” for a long-term mixture of uses. This showcases best practice in sustainable urban planning. A reference work for district developers Best practice for urban mixed-use development Study conducted by the Technical University Vienna with several well-known partners
New Modes
New modes of practice are now emerging in architecture. Rural Studio, Exyzt, Muf, Assemble and many more have led the way by challenging conventional ideas of ‘The Architect' and reclaiming the notion of architecture as something public that should work ultimately towards the collective good. This quiet revolution is born out of a crisis in the profession and a wider vacuum in the political, environmental and economic situation. On the one hand, architecture as a profession has seen its influence diminish rapidly over the last 50 years through privatisation and the dominance of finance, while on the other hand it has also lacked collective courage and readiness to evolve. Without necessari...

Inside
Contemporary interior design is largely defined by the creation of diverse spaces that can be experienced with all of the senses. One aspect in this regard is the original use of materials. This also serves as the conceptual base of the two complementary volumes Inside that are part of the series Architecture in Focus. The two books show how varied, and sometimes quite unusual, the range of applications and combination is, done by wellknown and (still) unknown architects, designers and artists. Inside can be used as a real reference guide and a source of ideas: because materiality is the guiding principle of this book, every picture has captions with a detailed listing of the applied materials and design elements. While the sixty projects of this title are all made from the softer, diaphanous materials colour, fabric, glass and light the complementary volume Inside. Interiors of Concrete Stone Wood is devoted to the more classical and durable materials.
Ringstraße ist überall
Warum vergolden die Österreicher ihre Baudenkmäler selbst dann, wenn sie zu Staub zerfallen? Wieso bauen die Deutschen ihren Automobilen Tempel? Und was passiert, wenn Ernst Neufert in Graz auf Buster Keaton trifft? Seit 1992 bereichern die Texte Christian Kühns im Feuilleton der Tageszeitung „Die Presse", das als Leitindex der österreichischen Architekturentwicklung gilt, die kritische Diskussion über Architektur und Städtebau. Kühns Texte richten sich vor allem an neugierige Stadt- und Hausbewohner, die Architektur als Medium gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen kennenlernen und verstehen wollen, nicht nur an das Fachpublikum. Ringstraße ist überall versammelt seine besten Texte von 1992 bis 2007: 120 Essays, die der Baukunst unserer Zeit auf den Zahn fühlen.
Le Forme del cemento. Leggerezza
L'architettura contemporanea ha messo in atto un processo di progressivo e sostanziale alleggerimento delle forme; l'avanzamento tecnologico dei materiali leggeri, la competitività dei materiali plastici, la disarticolazione dell'oggetto unico in più parti, uniti ad una concezione avanzata di spazialità fluida, sembrerebbero aver relegato il cemento fra i materiali che bene hanno interpretato l'era della modernità, ma che trovano qualche disagio a rappresentare la cultura contemporanea della costruzione. Di fatto non è cosí: numerosi architetti ed ingegneri contemporanei privilegiano l'uso sperimentale del cemento nelle scelte formali delle loro opere: da Zaha Hadid ad Alvaro Siza, da ...
