What is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

Unmarked on maps and largely unnoticed by urban design, architecture, and planning communities, Combat Cities have quietly spread throughout the western hemisphere. The Complete Guide to Combat City is an architectural and cultural guide of these simulated cities, exclusively developed by the military. Seventeen existing, fully functioning urban combat centers in the US, Europe and the Middle East have been reconstructed from existing video footage, satellite images, military photographs, and army supplier's catalogs. Julia Schulz-Dornburg analyzes their features, be they fictional or real, and presents them with commentary, illustrations, and classifications. The book combines different urban portraits to create a comprehensive overview and architectural database of contemporary mock-cities. A comprehensive selection of seventeen urban combat centers in the US, Europe and the Middle East The first in-depth analysis of a clandestine architectural subject

"Many would consider a country without building materials uninhabitable." With these words, Minister of Industry Gylfi Þorsteinsson Gíslason opened Iceland's first and only cement plant in 1958. More than a century before, Portland cement was first used as plaster on the walls of the Reykjavík cathedral. At the time, most rural and urban dwellings were still being built from local turf or expensive imported timber. Just a few decades later, Icelandic architects, engineers, and masons were building their country exclusively in concrete. How did this material become so popular that the first decades of the twentieth century are referred to as "the age of concrete"? The Icelandic Concrete Saga focuses on over one hundred years of Icelandic architecture, construction, and technology. It traces the history of an architecture in constant struggle with material scarcity and the natural elements, its outcomes intertwined with Icelandic politics, culture, and society.

Are You a Model? explores the model as architectural tool and practice. The volume approaches architectural models not as categorical objects but through questions such as: What determines a model's functions and agencies? When in the design process does it unfold its power and when has it served its purpose? Based on nine overarching questions, the book brings together interdisciplinary voices from architecture, art history as well as architectural and curatorial practice, and software engineering. 31 contributions interweave perspectives from various disciplines and geographies, and reveal surprising affinities rather than seeking conclusive answers. Models are thus not classified according to time of origin, genre, or material, but rather understood as an epistemologically diverse practice.

What if urban planning and design were to prioritize rather than merely accommodate the unbuilt environment? Territorial Urbanism Now! calls for a paradigm shift in the conception of urban transformation. It urges us to favor sustainable systems in order to collectively tackle the challenges of climate change. Until now, urban planning and design professionals have integrated green and active mobility systems in the residual spaces available. In the reverse approach envisioned here, these systems become structuring elements of the territory, supported by a much more frugal built environment. The contributions by urbanists, artists, architects, and landscape architects in this publication come from research, practice, and teaching. Paola Viganò, Eric Luiten, Sandra Guinand-in conversation with Ali Madanipour, Chris Younès, Christian Schmid, Eric Wieërs, and Maarten Van Acker-Stefan Rettich, Tommaso Pietropolli, Elena Andonova, Julio de la Fuente, Natalia Gutiérrez, Ward Verbakel, Claudia Bode, Philipp Misselwitz, Davide Curatola Soprana, Beatrice Galimberti, Lilli Licka, Hannes Gröblacher, Johannes Bernsteiner, Stefan Devoldere, Anselm Wagner, Susanne Eliasson, Eva Pfannes, Jesse Honsa, and Stefan Bendiks not only introduce a much-needed paradigm shift, but also show us the premises for its realization.

In an age of glossy architectural visualizations and slick photography, today's media is saturated with images of projects mummified in their ideal, untouched, and unused state. Every design and technical publication on landscape architecture tries to teach us how to do things based on best practices. Rarely do we see a landscape project that has been in use for five or even ten years. To counterbalance this status quo, it is time to review and scrutinize the Sh*tscapes : typical mistakes in the design of our public realm. This publication is a compendium of a hundred failures made in the design, construction, or maintenance processes of urban landscapes. Looking at these unsuccessful examples, the authors propose simple and practical solutions aimed at preventing common mistakes, predicting future scenarios, and averting or accepting failures.

Verbessern Pflanzen das Stadtklima? Wie kann Grün in der Architektur die urbane Hitzebildung reduzieren, die Feinstaubbildung vermindern, den städtischen Lärmpegel senken und das Wohlbefinden der Menschen steigern? Das Handbuch zum Gebäudegrün richtet sich an die Bürgerschaft ebenso wie an Architekten und Bauherrn. Es liefert Antworten auf die am häufigsten gestellten Fragen - von der Bestandsbegrünung bis zur Neubaubegrünung, von Einsparungen durch Gebäudegrün bis zu finanziellen Förderungen und von praktischen Tipps zur Pflanzenwahl bis zu ökologischen Auswirkungen auf das Stadtklima. Es ist an der Zeit - und viele Beispiele in Deutschland und weltweit zeigen, dass Grünbauten möglich und wachsende Realität sind.

After its careful renovation by David Chipperfield Architects, the ballroom Hasenheide 13 will serve as an exhibition venue for the Sammlung Wemhöner from 2025 onwards. Reason enough to review the eventful and lively history of the place in order to respectfully continue its history as a meeting place: a history that already began before the construction of the ballroom at the end of the nineteenth century, and in a certain way also exemplarily reflects the development of Berlin over the past 150 years. This publication invites you to follow Lothar Uebel's research and embark on a voyage of discovery that tells of fascinating episodes of an institution that deserves to continue to be a witness to Berlin's constantly changing face. Monograph on a famous Berlin ballroom soon to be remodeled by David Chipperfield Architects and turned into an arts venue Extensive historic images, contemporary book design

The Liebling Haus in Tel Aviv was built in 1936 to designs by architect Dov Karmi for Tony and Max Liebling after they fled from Europe. With its bright plaster facades, deep balconies, clear proportions, and a layout tailored to the regional climate, it serves as a prime example of the locally adapted International Style that is typical of the White City of Tel Aviv. From 2015 to 2019, the building was extensively restored by Israeli and German planners, renovation experts, and craftspersons, reopening as a vibrant exhibition and community center. The Liebling Haus is supported and funded by the German Federal Government, the City of Tel Aviv, and the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Foundation. The book, published in three languages, tells the eventful history of the structure and gathers detailed historical materials about its architecture and residents. Current interviews, an atmospheric tour by Israeli photographer Yael Schmidt, and other documents showcase the new use of the Liebling Haus since its reopening.

Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Spätestens seit der Auszeichnung mit dem Goldenen Löwen der Biennale in Venedig 2005 zählt Thomas Schütte zu den prominentesten deutschen Gegenwartskünstler*innen. Anlässlich der Einzelausstellung Westkunstmodelle 1:1 im De Pont Museum in Tilburg erscheint Thomas Schütte: Houses II und versammelt die architektonischen Arbeiten des Künstlers. Mit zahlreichen Aufnahmen und Konstruktionszeichnungen präsentiert das Buch erstmals 18 Projekte aus den Jahren 2003 bis 2023 und ihre Entstehungsgeschichten. Das Besondere an Schüttes Ansatz ist der Sprung zum Maßstab 1:1, der die Entwürfe zum Leben erweckt. Auf diese Weise verwandelt Schütte Architektur zum Medium der Kunst, schafft neue Impulse zur Großplastik und verwischt die Grenzen zwischen Bildhauerei, Architektur und Konzeptkunst. Mit Texten von Dieter Schwarz und Maria Schnyder

Artificial neuronal networks open up radical new pathways for image creation. On the basis of textual prompts, machine-learning algorithms like Midjourney and DALL-E generate imagery that is simultaneously familiar and alien. Graphic designer Floyd Schulze uses this rapidly developing technology to recreate architectural icons. In an accompanying essay, Georg Vrachliotis takes up the topic on the theoretical level. OK Computer is the first book to deal with AI-generated architectural imagery from an artistic perspective.

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In recognition of the dire threats of climate collapse and mass extinction, the global initiative Bauhaus Earth convened a team of scientists, architects, spatial planners, and policy makers from around the world to author a manifesto.Toward Re-Entanglement is a call for radical action. It challenges all those with a role in the conception, production, operation, and governance of the building sector, to address the systemic ecological, climatic, and social impacts incurred by its activities. Twelve principles of re-entanglement guide the re-design of the entire life cycle of the urban realm: the re-formation and re-materialization of the physical artifacts that comprise it, the reconfiguration of the socioeconomic structures that underpin it, and the re-engagement of the bioregions that might sustainably supply it. In this way, our unprecedented convergence of environmental and social crises offers us powerful opportunities for systemic change. Lead authors: Philipp Misselwitz, Alan Organschi

Threatened with demolition and celebrated as icons of brutalism, Gerd and Magdalena Hänska's Mäusebunker and the former Hygieneinstitut designed by Hermann Fehling and Daniel Gogel in Steglitz, Berlin, form a unique ensemble of exceptional buildings. This volume takes as its subjects the different architectural principles underlying the two facing buildings, the intense debate concerning their preservation and reuse, and their economic and cultural value. The questions now posed by these concrete structures and the impact of their designs and power are explored using the architects' historical design documents as well as artistic contributions. Photographs by Kay Fingerle offer a view of the buildings' interiors rarely afforded to the public.

In architectural discourse surrounding the Arabian Gulf, the desert is often overlooked as a contrasting backdrop to the region's oil-fueled cities. Space Wars challenges the view of the desert as a wasteland by bringing together the perspectives of architects, artists, ecologists, cartographers, and more to shed light on a complex landscape that is host to critical operations for the development of sovereign states. Moving across scales and time, Kuwait's hinterland serves as the critical lens to look at the region's past traumas, current struggles, and possible futures.

Symbolische Orte verleihen physischen Orten Bedeutung. Sie berichten über historische Ereignisse, erzählen Geschichten oder stehen für bestimmte Anliegen. War das Schaffen symbolischer Orte früher meist Aufgabe von Politik und Verwaltung, ist es heute auch die Zivilgesellschaft, die sich dieser Orte annimmt. Als Potenziale können sie für die Stadtentwicklung bedeutsam sein, wenn sie aktiv im Sinne des Gemeinwohls gefördert werden.Diese Publikation beleuchtet, was symbolische Orte auszeichnet, wie sie funktionieren und welchen Anforderungen und Hemmnissen sie unterliegen. Die versammelten Beispiele reichen von historisch belasteten Orten wie dem Berliner Olympiagelände bis zu Orten der kollektiven Selbstermächtigung wie dem selbstverwalteten Navarinou Park in Athen. Die Beiträge renommierter Autor*innen aus Geschichts- und Gesellschaftswissenschaft, Stadtplanung und Stadtmarketing wollen Mut machen, sich mit anerkannten, aber auch mit umstrittenen symbolischen Orten zu befassen oder sie in kollektiven Diskussions- und Entscheidungsprozessen zu "machen".

Ob Kaufhaus, Kaserne oder Kirche: Immer wieder fallen städtische Gebäude aufgrund gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen aus der Nutzung. Die Treiber für diese urbanen Obsoleszenzen wurden aber bislang nicht systematisch untersucht. Aktuell stehen durch die Megatrends Digitalisierung, Verkehrswende und Wandel der Religiosität eine Vielzahl von Typologien unter Nutzungsdruck. Sie bilden eine entscheidende Ressource für die zirkuläre Entwicklung wachsender Großstädte, für gemeinwohlorientierte Nutzungen und bezahlbares Wohnen, für eine resilientere Gestaltung der Quartiere und deren Anpassung an den Klimawandel, für die Menge an neuen Funktionen, die in die Städte drängen und nicht zuletzt für neue Infrastrukturen, die für die Verkehrswende und die Versorgung mit erneuerbaren Energien erforderlich werden.

Vom Abriss bedroht, als Ikonen des Brutalismus gefeiert: Der "Mäusebunker" von Gerd und Magdalena Hänska und das ehemalige Hygieneinstitut von Hermann Fehling und Daniel Gogel in Berlin-Steglitz bilden ein einmaliges Ensemble von Solisten. Die unterschiedliche Architekturauffassung, die den beiden gegenüberstehenden Bauten zugrunde liegt, die intensive Debatte um den Erhalt und die Weiternutzung der Gebäude, um ihren wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Wert, sind Themen dieses Buchs. Anhand historischer Planmaterialien der Architekt*innen sowie künstlerischer Arbeiten werden besonders diejenigen Fragen erörtert, die diese Betonstrukturen in ihrer gestalterischen Konsequenz und Kraft heute stellen. Die Fotografien von Kay Fingerle enthüllen das Innere der für die Öffentlichkeit schwer zugänglichen Bauten.

English edition with Greek abstracts / Englische Ausgabe mit griechischen Abstracts Taking Action brings into focus the sustainable design of urban transformation and the preparation of densely-structured urban spaces for future challenges. How can climate change and spatial inequalities be tackled under crisis conditions and in view of limited spatial and other resources? How can we relate our ambitious and broadly defined goals to the reality of local conditions and everyday spaces? How can knowledge be translated into action? While basic spatial relations are currently being renegotiated in cities throughout Europe, it is in Athens that some of the most pressing urban problems have been crystallized in order to establish unique spaces of experimentation. Approaching these multi-dimensional questions from different perspectives, the authors seek to identify possible sites of intervention, suggest new models of transformation, and unleash the potential in urban landscapes as a means of stimulating positive urban change.

Today's cities are growing rapidly, creating heterogeneous urban fabrics that cross administrative and political borders. To meet the challenges of our time, a new cross-sectoral, multi-level and people-centered planning apporach is needed. Metropolitan planning is therefore essential to contemporary planning practice and culture and must take into account the potential of both urban and rural spaces. This publication introduces the new discipline of metropolitan design by sharing innovative and international knowledge of interconnected mobility, balanced growth, resilient landscapes and integrated programming of metropolitan regions. Through collaboration and active participation, MetroLab provides tools to develop future-proof and highly liveable city regions.

Infrastructures of Freedom sheds light on the impact of inadequate public lighting in self-built communities in Cape Town. In democratic South Africa, where infrastructure provision still reflects deeply embedded notions of citizenship, informal neighborhoods with minimal infrastructure provision face challenges beyond access to basic services and opportunities. Fear, the feeling of being forgotten, and living in undignified conditions are among the powerful experiences darkness brings about in these neighborhoods. The book not only reveals these experiences of everynight life, but takes a step further: it considers how the co-production of a solar public lighting project within a community improved everynight life and suggests ways for infrastructure to more successfully articulate citizenship. With a foreword by Christian Schmid and Sophie Oldfield

We are all improvising. We are all making decisions. And we are all watching each other improvise. Together, we are improvising. Decisions become shared ones. We will have built this city together. Convivial Ground invites the reader to discover the work of the transdisciplinary European design-build network Constructlab piece by piece. Taking Ivan Illich's understanding of conviviality as departure point, the essays, conversations, stories, and images in the book reflect on the specificities of collaborative practices as situated experiments, as well as on their possible roles in the creation of convivial societies. Exploring contemporary conditions of togetherness, learning, and working, the book is not a "how-to" guide, but an invitation to cooperatively write new convivial narratives.

Schreibende Architekt*innen sind eine bedrohte Spezies. Doch wo käme der Berufsstand hin, wenn er das Nachdenken über die Architektur einstellen wollte? Arno Lederer ist ein Architekt, der schreiben kann: ironisch, frei von ideologischen Verhärtungen, kontrovers zur Fortschrittsgläubigkeit der Moderne. Von sich selbst sagt er, er sei ein "Amateur und Liebhaber der Theorie". Bei ihm ist Diskussions- und Denkstoff drin, alle Theorie eben nicht grau und die Maus Frederick so zitierfähig wie Friedrich Schiller. Drinnen ist anders als draußen ist ein Buch, das nicht von A bis Z durchgeackert werden will, sondern in dem man sich vor- und zurückblätternd auf Lesereise begibt. "Arno Lederers Betrachtungen über Architektur lesen, heißt Architektur in ihrer Komplexität lesen, deuten und bewerten lernen", schreibt die Architekturkritikerin Amber Sayah. Zusammen mit Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir hat sie die Texte aus Lederers großem Fundus ausgewählt.

In den vorliegenden Monografien zum Wiederaufbau (West-)Berlins nach 1945 sind zwei Architekten wenig gewürdigt worden, die dessen stadträumlichen Charakter nachhaltig geprägt haben und seit 1956 in einer Bürogemeinschaft zusammenarbeiteten: Paul Schwebes und Hans Schoszberger. Einige ihrer Bauten repräsentieren bis heute die City West und prägen zwischen Ku'damm und Tauentzien, Ernst-Reuter-Platz und Breitscheidplatz, Budapester Straße und Kreuzberg das urbane Flair der Stadt. Das Buch rekonstruiert über 140 Projekte aus den Vor- und Nachkriegsjahren, die wesentlich dem tertiären Sektor und seltener dem Wohnbau angehörten. Dabei werden auch die politisch-ökonomischen Voraussetzungen deutlich, die diese Architektur nach 1945 zu Symbolen einer neuen Zeit und eines offenen Gesellschaftsbilds werden ließen.

In Österreich entstehen derzeit viele neue Gesundheitsinitiativen und -einrichtungen ebenso wie innovative Versorgungskonzepte. Space Anatomy zeigt, wie und wo diese geplant und umgesetzt werden und welche Folgen das für Städte, Gemeinden und den unmittelbaren Alltag in der Nachbarschaft mit sich bringt. Anhand von Beiträgen internationaler Gastautor*innen und mehreren Gesprächsrunden mit Expert*innen nimmt dieses Buch die Bedeutung von Architektur und Raumplanung für die räumlichen Aspekte von Gesundheit und Public Health in den Fokus. Zahlreiche in Österreich realisierte Projekte - von Gesundheitszentren über Pflegeheime bis hin zu den Ergebnissen privater Initiativen - werden als Beispiele vorgestellt.

With debates about the decriminalization of drugs on the rise, an exploration of drug maps is long overdue. Narcotic Cities traces the complex entanglements of drugs, institutions, activities, and the way they are represented with spaces and places, shedding new light on our cities. Through the medium of graphic essays, this book explores urban stories, as well as the histories, policies, communities, digital spaces, and pleasures associated with drugs, gathering together more than forty contributors working with Geographic Information Systems, hand drawings, satellite images, and memories. By experimenting with different graphic languages, this volume assembles a rich mosaic of multi-scalar urban perspectives on drugs, sharing little-known knowledge as well as reflections on the pitfalls, omissions, and failures of drug cartographies.

Urbanizing Suburbia considers three current and related processes underway in global cities: the hyper-gentrification of inner cities, the financialization of housing, and the structural changes occurring in the outer city. Rocketing housing prices have displaced residents from inner cities and created a rent gap in outer cities. Increasingly, municipalities, developers, and displaced residents search for opportunities in the suburban belts. Changes in demographics, densities, live/work ratios, and tenures are remaking outer cities, rendering them less and less suburban. The book examines these changes by looking at four key European cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Stockholm. It is a first attempt at understanding the three processes discussed here within one comprehensive explanatory framework.
