Evelyn Hofer
Evelyn Hofer has photographed famous contemporaries and ordinary people in the Basque region, and recently, this passionate portrait photographer has turned married couples and people on the street into her subjects. But Hofer can also wait patiently for hours until her frame contains no people at all. Then she adds the pure beauty of the countryside or a venerable old building to a stark and timeless composition. Throughout her long photographic career, Hofer has sought both motion and stillness and balanced and revealed these qualities through the most diverse moments. This extensive monograph on the varied facets of her life's work shows her warm-hearted and incorruptible look at people and their surroundings. Containing photographs from Florence, London, Spain, New York, Washington, Dublin and Paris, along with a wealth of portraits, landscapes and architectural photography, this book concludes with Hofer's most recently completed work, a series of picturesque still lifes.
25 Years of IDIMT
The annual IDIMT conferences, established in 1993, are today an established platform for scientific information interchange in the wide, interdisciplinary filed of computer science and informatics. On the occasion of the 25th Anniversary in 2017 this the booklet provides a retrospective on the long history and evolution of the IDIMT conferences, detailing for each conference some essential aspects of each conference with respect to location and their contents. It also presents statistical data about the development of the conference which now proudly contains around 50 papers and a proceeding volume of 450 pages.

Begegnungen / Encounters
The work of German-American photographer Evelyn Hofer (1922-2009) is characterized by her single-minded creative drive and dedication to recording the essentials of her subjects. Hofer portraits her vis-à-vis--not only people, but also landscapes and interiors--well beyond the idea of the snapshot, and with great clarity and atmos- pheric intensity. Hofer spent months in the cities she photographed for her books of the 1950s and '60s, published with renowned authors such as Mary McCarthy and V. S. Pritchett. In titles such as New York Proclaimed (1965) and Dublin, A Portrait (1967) Hofer combines portraits, city and country views, still lifes and larger interior shots to manifest complex im...

Modern Facility and Workplace Management
This book adopts a multidimensional approach to explain current practices and trends in facility management. Presenting both research and practical insights from around the globe and providing definitions, examples and case studies, it allows readers to gain an understanding of corporate real estate, as well as asset, property, and facility management in the context of digital transformation, sustainability practice and process optimisation. The authors also discuss the latest trends in workplace management, the use of emerging technologies to optimise provision of facility services, and change management to implement new processes and reporting. A good mix of theory and practice, including a diverse set of examples, provide a constructive learning experience to the reader.
The New Urban Ruins
This book provides an innovative perspective to consider contemporary urban challenges through the lens of urban vacancy. Centering urban vacancy as a core feature of urbanization, the contributors coalesce new empirical insights on the impacts of recent contestations over the re-use of vacant spaces in post-crisis cities across the globe. Using international case studies from the Global North and Global South, it sheds important new light on the complexity of forces and processes shaping urban vacancy and its re-use, exploring these areas as both lived spaces and sites of political antagonism. It explores what has and hasn't worked in re-purposing vacant sites and provides sustainable blueprints for future development.
Systems: from science to practice
Conversation were introduced by Bela H. Banathy at around 1980 as an alternative to the classical conferences. They reflect the insight that the greatest benefit for participants of a meeting were due to the discussions and conversations between participants and not so much as a result of the formal presentations of papers. The participants of Conversations follow the concepts and design of Bela Banathy. They discuss face-to-face (without formal presentation) in a self-guided way topics of scientific and social importance. The IFSR Conversation 2018 was held in St. Magdalena, Linz Austria, April 8 to 13, 2018. The overarching theme ('Systems: from science to practice') was the interaction be...
