Community spaces
Large housing estates of the post-war era have shaped the face of many cities throughout Europe. In the original plans of the 1950s-1980s they were to amend the urban structure and in many cases they were expected to enable a superior form of communality and urbanity. The estates were built to ease the housing shortage, but were also thought to quite literally become the home for a “new society”, be it under socialist regimes or the democratic welfare state. The reformation of society was expected to be supported by the environment of the newly built estates and, most crucially, their community spaces. The different manifestations of these community spaces were the subject of the second ...
Other spaces, plural narratives of place in Berlin's SO 36
The heightened environmental awareness that defines our contemporary urban age is both a challenge and an opportunity for urban planners and designers. In order to acquire perspective, context and leverage, city-makers must access the intangible realms of meaning to investigate the nature of social life and its relationship to space. In response to provocative spatial discourse from Lefebvre, Foucault and the Situationists International, Other Spaces, plural narratives of place in Berlin’s SO36, explores the application of theory in today’s broad and increasingly interdisciplinary planning and design practice. Deeply rooted in the philosophy of space, the concept of otherness is presente...
Gesellschaft und Politik verstehen
Der vorliegende Band »Gesellschaft und Politik verstehen – Frank Nullmeier zum 65. Geburtstag« ehrt nicht nur einen der bedeutendsten deutschen Politikwissenschaftler der Gegenwart und erlaubt Einblicke in dessen breites wissenschaftliches Werk, sondern gibt auch einen guten Überblick über einige der wichtigsten Themen, die heute in der Politikwissenschaft diskutiert werden: Von zentralen Debatten in der Politischen Theorie, etwa zur Legitimitäts- oder zur Demokratietheorie, über Schlüsselfragen moderner Sozialstaatlichkeit bis hin zur Erforschung einzelner Politikfelder und zur Verwaltungsforschung bildet der Band zentrale Felder der Politikwissenschaft ab; darüber hinaus zeichnet er auch interessante Schnittstellen zu Nachbardisziplinen nach, etwa zu Philosophie oder Soziologie. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
Heute Friedhof. Morgen Wohngebiet?
Friedhöfe sind besondere Orte und aufgrund ihrer Lage bedeutsam für den städtischen Raum: Sie bieten Lebensraum für Flora und Fauna und gelten gleichzeitig als Erholungsraum für die Bevölkerung. Selbst die Entwicklungsgeschichte eines Ortes kann abgelesen werden. Friedhöfe unterliegen einem ständigen Wandel, der von gesellschaftlichen, religiösen, politischen, ästhetischen und demographischen Faktoren beeinflusst wird – so auch derzeit: - Die demographischen Entwicklungen bedingen weniger Bestattungsfälle. - Pluralisierung und Individualisierung der Gesellschaft, der Wandel familiärer Strukturen sowie die zunehmende Vielfalt der Lebensstile haben Auswirkungen auf das Trauer-...
The Social City
In the post-war period, Berlin and Naples experienced a phase of profound changes, essentially influenced by external factors: the less rigid urban structure which had been ruined by World War II, resulting in severe changes in the social and economic structure, an uncritical reception and implementation of largely theoretical models of functionalism in urban planning, and in the design of the new public building interventions. On the one hand, between the 1940s and the 1980s, Berlin experienced a considerable loss in population, a political isolation and an urban splitting, as the urban planning institutions, deeply influenced by relevant politics, slowly and thoroughly changed the cityscap...
Adoptions
Both architect and urban planner, Kniess' practice extends beyond the classic one of designing buildings into the exploration of new areas of responsibility, work forms, and functional fields of architecture. This monograph presents a collection of extensively documented projects, including residential designs, research projects, and installations.

Small Interventions
The publication investigates the opportunities for upgrading the spatial structure of apartments created during the post-war building boom between 1960 and 1970. The authors analyze typical existing layouts in the context of social developments which, in recent decades, have led to significant changes in the form of living and in the structure of households. To what extent do the functionally optimized housing units meet the requirements of today’s society, and how adaptable are they to new forms of living? Is it possible to achieve a workable result with small interventions? In the theoretical part the authors discuss theories on design strategies and political transformation processes, the importance of which is demonstrated in the project part using practical contemporary examples.
Towards a Public Space
**Selected in the top eight short-list for the Thought and Criticism category of the FAD Awards 2019** Le Corbusier is well-known for his architectural accomplishments, which have been extensively discussed in literature. Towards a Public Space instead offers a unique analysis of Le Corbusier’s contributions to urban planning. The public spaces in Le Corbusier’s plans are usually considered to break with the past and to have nothing whatsoever in common with the public spaces created before modernism. This view is fostered by both the innovative character of his proposals and by the proliferation in his manifestos of watchwords that mask any evocation of the past, like l’esprit nouveau...
