Die Produktion zentraler öffentlicher Räume in der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie
von Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Max Welch Guerra Der öffentliche Raum entfaltet einen besonderen Zauber für all diejenigen, die sich mit hö- ren Ansprüchen an die Welt der Nutzung, der Planung und der Gestaltung von Städten w- den. Aber auch Soziologinnen, Kulturwissenschaftler und Stadtgeografinnen fühlen sich von dem Phänomen öffentlicher Raum und seinen schillernden Erscheinungsformen angezogen. Dies ist seit den 1990er Jahren weltweit der Fall. Hand in Hand mit der Ausbreitung eines neuen Typus der Stadtentwicklungspolitik, der aus vielfältigen Gründen öffentliche Plätze, Straßen, Uferpromenaden und städtische Grünflächen als besonders ergiebige Raumtypen für die Aufwertung o...
Re-Humanizing Architecture
After the Second World War, a divided Europe was much affected by a period of reconstruction. This was influenced by the different political systems – in the socialist East and in the capitalist West, the focus was on cohesion in society and its cultural and architectural expression. In parallel to the rapidly progressing industrialization of the building industry, debates on the humanization of the built environment were led on both sides with great intensity. The volume shows how, on the back of existentialism, new monumentality, and socialist realism, quite similar concepts and strategies were developed in order to find answers to questions relating to adequate structures for new forms of community and identity.
Plastics
Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. Their versatile technical properties are particularly fascinating. A broad range of form-giving and finishing processes makes plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combination with digital planning processes. Following the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstanding technical and aesthetic potential of the material. Until now, however, there has been no systematic treatment of the use of plastic in architecture. This book seeks to fill that gap by providing an introduction to the structural and design possibilities...
Patrick Tighe Architecture
This beautifully designed and illustrated monograph sets out Patrick Tighe’s innovative, diverse and wide-ranging collection of contemporary work towards the post-digital, showing the reader a hyper- detailed analytical investigation of digital forms and their practices. It sets out how his architecture has brought a return to the real in an attempt to rethink the language and practice of architecture. The book’s many inspiring and intricate drawings render clear the ideas that show the palpable energy and momentum that exists in this practice. In every instance, this firm embraces dichotomy, mining its potential to produce a more vital and consequential architecture. The book’s stunni...
Industrial Cities
Bringing together essays from leading experts who analyze how the landscapes, images, social dynamics, and economies of the industrial city have changed through boom and bust, this volume covers a wide range of subjects, from car cities to steel towns, from visualization of industrial cities in avant-garde art to the role of industrial heritage in urban regeneration. In total, Industrial Cities makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how the past shapes the future; it will be of interest not only to urban and economic historians, but also to social geographers and policy makers.
Histories of Urban Planning and Political Power
Urban planning has always been a preeminent instrument of political power. In this volume, contributions from Europe and Latin America provide insight into the functions of planning under very different political and societal constellations over the last hundred years: dictatorships, parliamentary democracies, and illiberalism; capitalism and state socialism; state interventionism and neoliberalism; societies in times of peace and societies marked by colonial, civil, world, or cold wars. The dictatorships of the 1920s and 1930s made extensive use of the potential of planning for economic growth, for brutal repression, but also for the integration of certain population groups and as an effect...

Despang Architekten
Despang Architekten Das Büro begann seine Karriere mit einem Wettbewerbsentwurf für Wartehäuschen der Stadtbahnlinie D für die Weltausstellung 2000 in Hannover. Jede Haltestelle ist mit einem anderen Material ausgestattet, das ihr eine eigene Persönlichkeit verleiht. Seit damals entstehen Bauten der unterschiedlichsten Gattungen in ganz individueller Herangehensweise überall in Deutschland. Der Gedanke an Nachhaltigkeit ist in allen Bauten erkennbar, etwa beim officehome Oberhaching bei München, der Kindertagesstätte in Göttingen oder der Bundeswehr-Gastronomie Stallberg in Viereck, bei der trotz der strengen Bauvorschriften die kulturellen und baukünstlerischen Aspekte nicht zu kurz kommen.
Identity in Post-Socialist Public Space
This book is a comparative analysis of the architecture of central public spaces of capital cities in Central and Eastern Europe during the period of their authoritarian and post-authoritarian development. It demonstrates that national identity transformations cause structural changes in urban public spaces, and theorises identity and national identity within urban planning in order to explain the influence of historical, cultural, mental, social as well as ideological and political conditions on the processes of shaping and perceiving the architecture of public space. The book addresses the process of shaping and restructuring historic centres of European capital cities of Kiev, Moscow, Ber...
Urban Design
In this basic textbook, prospective architects, urban and landscape planners receive assistance in working on urban development projects and designs. This edition has been expanded by two chapters on informal urban planning and regional urban development. The contents presented and their preparation are based on the design process in practice and embed it in a theoretical framework of necessary background knowledge. As an introduction, an overview of the understanding of the city, of urban structures and the laws governing them is given. In order to make the multi-layered structure of the city more comprehensible, it is broken down into different layers and building blocks. The approach to urban design is described using the "layer method" in the form of successive phases. Examples of urban development projects and competitions illustrate the individual design steps.
