Arkitekturteori

Denne bog behandler danske arkitektkonkurrencer fra ungdomsoprøret og til i dag. Bind 1 omhandler perioden fra o. 1900 og til 1968.Bøgerne giver tilsammen et overblik over konkurrencernes arkitektur- og kulturhistoriske betydning, og sidste del gør status over dagens situation.Mange af vores fineste værker er skabt gennem åbne arkitektkonkurrencer, men de har også præget Danmark på en mere dybtgående måde. Bogen viser, at arkitektkonkurrencer er forløbere for velfærdsstatens fysiske udmøntning med tanker og løsninger, der sætter sig igennem i alle dele af arkitektfagets praksis fra byens plan, landskabs- og havekunst og byggeri til design.

Nu kommer de næste to bind i den populære bogserie om ny dansk arkitektur. Gennem 10 bind vil serien give et vitalt signalement af den nyeste danske bygningskunst. Hvert bind udfolder et enkelt bygningsværk og portrætterer tegnestuen bag. De 10 bygninger repræsenterer desuden 10 aktuelle temaer i tidens arkitekturdebat. Gennem et essay og et dybdegående interview med arkitekten, kommer man helt tæt på. Samtaleformatet sikrer en uformel beskrivelse, mens essayet supplerer med baggrundsviden.Det nye Hammershus Besøgscenter er tegnet af Arkitema og Christoffer Harlang. Bygningen, som spændstigt og diskret indskriver sig i landskabet omkring den gamle borgruin, er et sjældent eksempel på et moderne gesamtkunstwerk, hvor arkitekturen sammen med den specialdesignede indretning skaber en vellykket helhedsoplevelse. Bygningens rene linjer og det rå indre af beton og egetræ suppleres på fornem vis af Harlangs inventar, som består af alt fra borde, reoler og dørhåndtag til lamper, lysestager og salt- og pebersæt i cafeen – og endda et læskur ved busholdepladsen.

Om sommeren bliver der spillet teater, kørt cykelløb og holdt vikingemarked på taget. Om vinteren transformeres skråningen til Danmarks mest besøgte kælkebakke. Taget er blevet taget i brug på måder, der langt overstiger vores forventninger. Som en invitation fra fortiden rejser museet sig fra den jyske muld og inviterer gæsterne indenfor, hvor udstillingsrummene er designet som terrasser, der åbenbarer sig som lag i en arkæologisk udgravning.

På et ganske lille areal (856 kvm.) har landskabsarkitekten Henrik Pølsgaard gennem mange år leget med naturen, som han selv har udtrykt det. Han, som på Sven-Ingvar Anderssons tegnestue har haft ansvaret for mange store opgaver, har her skabt en have af stor skønhed og fuld af oplevelser hele året; altid med naturen selv som ledetråden. Det er en form for wild garden, men fuld af underfundige henvisninger til klassisk og moderne havekunst med en mangfoldighed af oplevelser langs smalle stier, ved en (kunstig) skovsø, på idylliske siddepladser, i den italienske have, i den hemmelige have mv. Det er en have til inspiration, skrevet af en forfatter, der selv finder Pøhlsgaards have paradisisk: arkitekten og byplanlæggeren, professor Vibeke Dalgas.

Vibrations narrates from within and around buildings. Through works by the Danish drawing office Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, the architecture editor of the newspaper Politiken, Karsten R.S. Ifversen, examines the art of making architecture vibrate on the spot, in human beings and with its time. With a philosophical gaze and in clear language, he answers the question: What makes good architecture?To examine this, Ifversen attempts to grasp what it is about Lundgaard & Tranberg that makes them the most influential Danish drawing office of our time. In the foreword, Karsten R.S. Ifversen writes: “They take their point of departure in a Nordic tradition and the conditions of the place, but their will to renew architecture transcends the merely local and places them in a class with some of the world’s leading drawing offices.”Photos by Jens Lindhe.The rights of this book belongs to Hatje Cantz.

Nordic Architecture. The book is divided in themes and each theme is illustrated with examples gathered across the national borders.In some cases it was necessary to concentrate on the conditions in a certain country.From abroad, the Northern countries are considered to be a unity, but despite this, this is the first example of a book that treats the newer Nordic architecture as a whole.Recent international development has given rise to a need to revive the notion of the North as a place where modern architecture in a modified form has survived.This book is a new and updated edition of Nordic Architecture from 1993 with new photos and a new layout. It is written in a language that makes it enjoyable not only for professionals but also those with a general interest in architecture. Richly illustrated with photos and drawings.

Bogen er det mest imponerende værk om arkitektur, der er udkommet siden Steen Eiler Rasmussens legendariske værker, og det er første gang siden Vilhelm Wanscher, at en dansker kaster sig ud i at skabe en arkitekturhistorie, der omhandler hele verden fra de tidligste kulturer og til i dag. En fortælling om menneskets rumopfattelse og om de rummelige ideers historiske udvikling fra de tidligste tider til nutiden. En udvikling, der er kommet til udtryk i en mangfoldighed af kulturelle frembringelser fra maleri og byggeri til geometri og astronomi. Bogen giver en bred beskrivelse af rummets kulturhistorie, og med udgangspunkt i denne sammenhæng, beskrives arkitekturens historie. I 2.udgave af Rummets Arkitektur – Arkitekturens Rum er tilføjet fire nye kapitler, som fører historien og den teoretiske debat frem til årtusindeskiftet. Her sammenholdes problemerne omkring historie og kultur med relevante aspekter af Gilles Deleuzes filosofi, der siden 1990erne har spillet en vældig rolle inden for humaniora og samfundsvidenskab, og for vigtige bevægelser i arkitektur og kunst. De fleste øvrige kapitler er revideret med meget nyt materiale. Lars Marcussen er uddannet fra Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole i 1961 under professor Erik Christian Sørensen og har siden 1968 og frem til sin pension i 2005 været tilknyttet samme skole som forsker og lærer. Lars Marcussen modtog i 2004 N.L.Høyen medaljen, for sit vægtige bidrag til forståelsen af arkitekturens univers.

Fra det gamle, sprudlende Europa skrev Georg Simmel (1858-1918) sine banebrydende essays. Simmel er en af bysociologiens grundlæggere og skriver om Rom, Firenze og Venedig. Som midtpunkt for flere intellektuelle kredse var han en absolut hovedskikkelse i sin samtid og ven med bl.a. Auguste Rodin, Rainer Maria Rilke og Max Weber. Tyngdens æstetik præsenterer et udpluk af Simmels skrifter i form af ti essays, der er relevante både for arkitekten og den kunstinteresserede. Bogen er illustreret med værker af bl.a. Michelangelo, Bernini, Toyokuni I, Christen Købke, Rodin og J.F. Willumsen. Joachim Wiewiura har skrevet introduktion til Simmels tid og tænkning. Joachim Wiewiura (f.1987), ph.d. i filosofi fra Københavns Universitet, udvekslingsophold ved University og Oxford og MIT. Han er ansat ved Institut for Kommunikation og Psykologi, AAU, og har bl.a. udgivet bøgerne Offentlighedens rum (2019), Simmel (2019), If Schools Didn't Exist (2020), Den politiske filosofis historie (2022) og Offentlighed og legitimitet (2024).

The book is the first in our paperback series, which aims to present current and pressing challenges in architecture and urban design in an effective, powerful and thought-provoking way. In a shorter format and with a new way of looking at things, these books trigger poignant questions about the future of our built environment. De Jordische Byer presents two different episodes. The first takes the reader through the history of urban development: from the muscle city, which was driven by human and animal labor, through the machine cities of industrialization to the current borderless cities, characterized by global communication and blurred urban divides. It introduces the concept of the earthly city as a close, harmonious interweaving of people and nature. The second section deals with the urgent need to rethink urbanism in light of the climate crisis. It calls for a paradigm shift for a sustainable future. It explores the polarized responses to the climate crisis: technological optimism versus hyperlocal sustainability. The earthly, however, moves away from globalization and locality and focuses on our interconnectedness with Earth's ecosystems. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in future urban life and our role within the Earth's ecological framework.

Byplanlægning gælder livet. Ikke mindst ’det gode liv’. De fleste af os forstår det først, når et projekt rammer på en måde, der berører os. Et højhus, et naturområde der bliver til en vej, gamle bygninger der rives, børnenes legeplads forsvinder, arkitektur der er uforståelig eller grim. At leve i bymæssighed tiltrækker og mange borgere ønsker at komme mere i centrum i byplanlægningen bl.a. for at sætte livet først.Byplanlægningens diskurser er kræfter, der skal påvirke tænkemåder og praksisser. Det skal også de spatiale omgivelser, vi lever i. Historisk set har byplanlægning nærmet sig det sociale gennem rummet og ikke rummet gennem det sociale. Bymæssighed, urban design, steder og pladser er en invitation til en bestemt brug af rummet.Offentligheden inviteres ind i byplanlægningen, hvor de møder diskurser der skal disponere for en specifik forståelse af planen, stedet og det sociale i rum. De møder et magt-viden kompleks, der også er en del af et større netværk af strategiske og taktiske relationer indenfor politik, kapital, byudviklings interesser, turisme og byøkonomi.Med eksempler som Den Røde Plads, Køge kyst, Musicon, Distortion musikfestival, Vulkan og Bjørvika byudviklingen i Oslo diskuteres, hvordan tanker om f.eks. flydende planlægning og bymæssighed overstyres af det spatiale dispositiv. Et dispositiv, hvor andre generative kræfter som mentalitet, tænkemåder, drifter og begær ikke tematiseres. Analyserne giver eksempler på, hvordan begær, det ikke-repræsenterbare, atmosfære og forandring kan blive en del af den praktiske byplanlægning. Nye metoder og begreber er nødvendige for at kunne arbejde med byers generative kræfter. Både de der findes i bypolitik, byplanlægning, i rummet og i det sociale og livet selv. Bogens begreb for dette generative er ’dispositif’ og ikke dispositiv.

"Lore" as a term suggests a cumulative and collective understanding of a topic. Today, it is particularly common in gaming and serial storytelling to refer to the comprehensive background story of a fictive universe. This issue of trans magazine attempts to understand the many ways in which lore affects our present moment: the texts deal with narrated realities, logistics of knowledge, ghosts and angels, and how the subconscious influences the built environment.

This book compiles a curated selection of texts authored by architects and scholars hailing from Asia, Europe, and North America. Their research, often intertwined with practical applications, delves into the intricate relationship between material culture, technology, and architecture within the broader cultural and social milieu. Three keywords¿construction, materials, encounters¿serve as the organizing framework for the book, guiding readers through a diverse array of case studies and experiences where these elements intertwine seamlessly. Indeed, these terms are intricately interwoven, reflecting the inseparability of technology from culture.The first part of the book delves into the poetics and theoretical underpinnings of construction, drawing from the works of various designers across China, Japan, and India. The subsequent section navigates the terrain of construction materials, exploring their evolution, manufacturing processes, and utilization, with a particular focus on diverse timber products and bamboo. The final part of this compilation embarks on a journey through historical encounters between the East and West spanning over a century. It meticulously investigates the exchanges, misunderstandings, and innovations catalyzed by these interactions. Collectively, these texts offer a profound and original perspective on the myriad experiences and challenges associated with the intricate interplay between technological advancements, tectonic preferences, and socio-cultural dynamics within the architectural landscape of the Asia-Pacific region.

Halldor Gunnløgsson var aldrig i tvivl: arkitektur er en kunstart. Det fastholdt han gennem hele karrieren også under ungdomsoprøret, der affejede ”kunst” som borgerlig dekadence. Han forsøgte oven købet i at indkredse, hvad han kaldte ”arkitektonisk tænkning” – velvidende, at verbalsproget ikke kan omspænde kunsten eller ”det uhåndgribelige”. Hovedværker er Tårnby- og Fredericia rådhuse, hans eget hus i Rungsted, der blev verdensberømt, Uglegårdsskolen, "Danmarks bedste skole" m.fl. Han var det skarpeste intellekt blandt datidens arkitekter og forkæmper for bygningskunsten, som han mente, at arkitekterne selv havde svigtet. Bogen viser Gunnløgssons omfattende livsværk som sin tids mest vindende deltager i arkitektkonkurrencer, som udøvende arkitekt, lærer og debattør. Hans værker og tænkning har stadig bud til en forvirret tid.

»¿¿¿ bauhaus« (selam bauhaus) means »hello bauhaus« in Amharic, one of the most important languages in Ethiopia. Visually, one could also interpret the Amharic letters as "Why Bauhaus" to question the overuse of this label during the Bauhaus Centennial in 2019. So, why Bauhaus?100 years ago, the teaching of architecture and urban design at the Bauhaus responded to rapid changes in society and their impact on the built environment. The ambitions and methods of the historical Bauhaus can still inspire us in the present day: Today, facing global climate change and human migration, these themes are more pressing than ever. Through the Emerging City Lab Addis Ababa (ECL-AA), the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) at Addis Ababa University established a joint lab. Combining innovation and social responsibility through experiments with building materials, practices and planning technologies beyond cultural, social, and disciplinary boundaries, this publication shows educational and research projects that emerged from the collaboration. In 2019 they were presented in the exhibition »¿¿¿ bauhaus (selam bauhaus) - hello bauhaus« on the occasion of the centenary of the Bauhaus and the 65th anniversary of the EiABC.

"Combining scholarship with readability, Jeremy McInerney's wide-ranging, stimulating new book uncovers the complexity and potency of ancient hybridity. Hybrids, McInerney reveals, confuse categories and so challenge categorical thinking and underlying certainties. Classical Greek hybrids force us to ask ourselves what separates humans from animals"--

Portrait of a Founder. The Story of Wilhelm Hansen and Ordrupgaard tells the story of Danish insurance director and art collector Wilhelm Hansen (1868–1936). Drawing on the Ordrupgaard museum’s extensive collection of photographs, letters and not least art, the book paints a vivid portrait of the man behind Ordrupgaard and his wife, Henny (1870–1951). How did their lives unfold? And how did they build the splendid art collection now on display at Ordrupgaard in North Zealand, Denmark?Anne-Birgitte Fonsmark (b. 1950) was director of Ordrupgaard from 1995 to 2023. The author and editor of many books on art, she has also curated major exhibitions such as Van Gogh, Gauguin, Bernard. Friction of Ideas (2014), At Home with Hammershøi (2016) and Anna and Michael Ancher. Together and Separately (2023).

Proto-Habitat is a transcript of conversations, visits, essays, photographs, paintings objects, and architectures exploring different cultures of dwelling as well as the associated imageries and means of production. Proto-Habitat is both a theoretical and a practical (built) experiment to explore ways of dwelling that are closer to contemporary lifestyles. The idea is to broaden collective representation to include environmentally responsible modes of existence and prioritizing conditions of habitability over questions of production. The book builds on research initially carried out at the French Academy in Rome - Villa Medici, the exhibition at arc en rêve, Collection Lambert, and Grand Hornu, and the construction of Proto-Habitat (Bordeaux, Chamonix, Clermont Ferrand), protoCAMPO (Rome), and SOLARproto (Almere). Flavien Menu is an architect whose practice combines research, building, and sustainable develop-ment.

This book outlines, within the Italian national framework, the current and potential paths oriented towards a new concept of Architectural Heritage, through actions referring to Innovation and Experimentation and Protection and Transformation of the Architectural Heritage. The development of the themes is articulated in two sessions dealing with the aspects related to the analysis and mapping of Architectural Heritage to face the context of the current Climate Crisis and the development of projects and experimentations oriented to the Green and Digital Transition.The evolution of the concept of Heritage, as conceived by the United Nations 2030 Agenda and in the Green Deal and New European Bauhaus, aimed at constructing an inclusive and universally recognised definition to support supranational objectives of sustainable human development, gives rise to innovative strategies, methodologies and technologies that¿in a direction of mitigation, contrast and adaptation to climatechange¿allow for the safeguard, renewed management and a hope for valorisation of Heritage on a national scale. In this direction, the understanding of Architectural Heritage as a 'non-renewable resource' determines the need to activate design experimentation laboratories oriented towards regeneration, articulated and complex, which require, in order to respond to the challenges posed by our era, a sensitive and dialogic multidisciplinary vision of a holistic type. In fact, on the one hand, it is necessary to redefine the usability and management methods of built heritage through the adoption of digital, mobility, energy, ecological, social, green and blue infrastructures; on the other hand, it is necessary to introduce new qualitative and quantitative parameters and performance indicators, adequate to verify the validity of the implemented strategies in a perspective of adaptation to climate change, able to clarify contents, processes and tools to contrast future risks.The pursuit of these objectives refers to the innovation of training paths, professionalising procedures, administrative regulations, and public policies that involve citizens and the private partnership towards a different project qualification and empowerment of stakeholders, inhabitants, professionals, and clients. The Technological Project makes it possible to activate different interventions aimed at acting, in an integrated manner, on assets, context and communities, according to an approach that reinterprets them on a common score, as proposed by the European Next Generation programme in three priority aspects: digitalisation and innovation, environmental transition, increased resilience and social sustainability of national economies. In this scenario, the interventions aimed at outlining sustainable development actions will have to place these concepts at the centre in a harmonious vision that starts from the recognition and enhancement of the Architectural Heritage, recognising itas a fundamental asset of the territories.

This book intends to focus exclusively on anamorphic experiments in contemporary art and design, leaving an in-depth historical examination of its Baroque season to other studies. Themes, languages and fields of application of anamorphosis in contemporary culture are critically analyzed to make the reader aware of the communicative potentiality of this kind of geometrical technique. The book also has the aim to teach the reader the most appropriate geometric techniques for each of them, in order to achieve the designed illusion. Each typology of anamorphosis is accompanied in this book by contemporary installations, a geometrical explanation by means of 3D models and didactic experiments carried on in collaboration with the students of the Department of Architecture in Naples.

AP205 Amancio Williams widmet sich mit dem argentinischen Architekten Amancio Williams(1913-1989) einer Schlüsselfigur der modernen Architektur in Lateinamerika. Sein bekanntestesProjekt, die Casa sobre el Arroyo in der Provinz Buenos Aires, ist eines der wenigen Bauwerke, dieer realisiert hat. Das breite Spektrum von Projekten und Entwürfen, die sein Büro von den 1940erbis in die 1980er Jahre hervorgebracht hat, zeigt sich allerdings in einem umfangreichen Archivmit Zeichnungen, Fotografien, Korrespondenz und Modellen, das die Familie Williams 2020 demCanadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) überlassen hat. Diese Publikation beruht auf Recherchenvon Studio Muoto, Claudia Shmidt und Pezo von Ellrichshausen, die alle einen, je eigenen, Hinter-grund in Architektur und Architekturgeschichte haben. Ihre Lesarten ergeben ein neues, weiter-gehendes Verständnis von Williams' Werk und verorten seine Praxis mit ihren sozialen, materiellenund politischen Dimensionen im zeitgenössischen Architekturdiskurs.Studio Muoto ist ein Architekturbüro, das 2003 von Gilles Delalex und Yves Moreau in Paris ge-gründet wurde. Claudia Shmidt ist Professorin an der Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Argentinien.Pezo von Ellrichshausen ist der Name eines 2002 gegründeten Studios für Kunst und Architekturim Süden Chiles.

Densification of our cities is an imperative that inevitably brings the topic of new high-rise buildings and the addition of stories to existing buildings to the foreground of discourse. Architecture and urban design must increasingly address the issues of verticality at all stages of planning, design, and composition. Social and cultural aspects must be considered in this process as well. The French-languag book De la verticalité combines two elements: a case study on high-rise buildings in Zurich and an explorative essay on the subject of verticality in philosophy, culture, and society. Together the threads form a dual commentary that highlights the challenges posed by the transformation of our cities. Illustrated with numerous spectacular montages and visualizations designed to broaden thinking, this volume, which comes from the laboratory of acclaimed Swiss architecture firm Made in, also offers concrete proposals aimed at architects and urban planners, politicians and flâneurs alike.

Transversal Territory is a laboratory of urban, environmental, and artistic experimentation at the renowned Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Switzerland. It undertakes transdisciplinary and participatory research on the relationship between us, our bodies, and our built and natural environments. Its unique approach is to explore experiences of-and reflections on-urban space through performative bodywork and on-site artistic installations. This process aims at transcending the conventional paradigms of perception and the understanding of urban space, and at creating a new imagination of it-an augmented reality. Transversal Territory's innovative research is conducted in annual workshops, in which students and local residents collaborate, and subsequent public presentations of the results. This volume features 20 performances and installations realized in 2022 in Mendrisio's Rime-Brech neighborhood, a typical suburban area with its mix of industrial structures, social housing, shopping malls, fast food outlets, parking lots, wastelands, and highways. It is conceived as a map of Mendrisio that spreads across the pages to recontextualize the genius loci in book format.

Die Publikation Two Lakes ist das Ergebnis einer vergleichenden Betrachtung zweier Kulturräume - Vierwaldstättersee in der Schweiz und Biwa-See in Japan. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen einer fünfjährigen Kooperation, The Culture of Water (2018-2023), zwischen der Hochschule Luzern - Technik & Architektur und dem Kyoto Institute of Technology setzt es sich mit der Architektur der Zukunft auseinander. Anhand von vier Kernthemen - Gefahr, Schönheit, Allmende, Ewigkeit und den entsprechenden Beziehungen zum Wasser - werden zu beiden Regionen und in vergleichender Betrachtung Hypothesen zur Interdependenz zwischen dem Menschen und der von ihm geschaffenen Architektur aufgestellt. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch vertiefende Beiträge, zwei fotografische Essays, ausgewählte Studentenarbeiten und Archivaufnahmen.Diese Publikation erscheint als Sonderausgabe der Reihe Laboratorium.The publication Two Lakes is the result of a comparative study of two cultural regions - Lake Lucerne in Switzerland and Lake Biwa in Japan. Based on the results of a five-year cooperation entitled The Culture of Water (2018-2023) between the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture and the Kyoto Institute of Technology, it engages with the architecture of the future. Addressing the core themes of danger, beauty, commons and eternity - and their according relationships to water - it develops hypotheses on both regions with respect to the interdependence between people and the architecture they produce. The book is rounded off by in-depth articles, two photographic essays and archive documents.

Billede for billede er historien om forsikringsdirektør og kunstsamler Wilhelm Hansen (1868-1936). Med udgangspunkt i museets omfangsrige samling af fotografier, breve og ikke mindst kunstværker tegner bogen et portræt af manden bag Ordrupgaard.Bogen former sig som en række udvalgte nedslag i familien Hansen med alt fra dagligdagsepisoder til større begivenheder; fra ophængningen af en gaslampe til konskvenserne af en storbanks krak og strategien for salg af verdenskunst. Vi hører om, hvordan deres tilværelse formede sig, og hvordan de – billede for billede – opbyggede den imponerende kunstsamling, som i dag er tilgængelig for offentligheden i Ordrupgaards sale.Anne-Birgitte Fonsmark (f. 1950) var direktør for Ordrupgaard fra 1995 til 2023. Hun har stået for en lang række af museets udstillinger og har udgivet flere kunstfaglige bøger.

Methodological, epistemic, and ontological borders have long prevented landscape and urban studies from engaging in transdisciplinary dialogue, sensuousness, and affect. Researching Otherwise uncovers possibilities for deploying sensory, collaborative, and restitutive methodological tools to craft spaces for producing knowledge from pluriversal worlds. These methods connect researchers and their objects of investigation in new ways to empower restitutive and regenerative futures "otherwise." Original contributions stem from research methods based on drawing, photography, sounding and listening, filmmaking, walking, and cartography. They reveal journeys of specialists and their companions while navigating through multi-species walks, engaging in cinematic and performative ways of knowing, submerging in ocean worlds, unsilencing bank vaults and troubled architectural histories, and exploring collaborative ethnographic investigations with refugees.

A walk through the remnants of a social democratic America, and an argument about its future.In the 1960s, a novel ideology about cities, and what was best for them, emerged in New York. Pushing against the state planning of the time, it held that cities were at their best when they were driven from the bottom-up and when organic, unplanned processes were allowed to run their course, in a spontaneous "ballet of the street". Cities were at their worst, however, when the state stepped in, demolishing lively old neighbourhoods and erecting giant, sterile, empty "projects". This book uses the method of this ideology — walking — to test how true it actually is about the "capital of the twentieth century", New York City, with a brief interlude in the capital, Washington DC.The "projects" that are walked in this book range from cultural complexes in Manhattan to New Deal-era public housing developments in Brooklyn, Harlem and Queens, from the social experiment of Roosevelt Island to Communist housing co-operatives in the Bronx, from the union-driven rebuilding of the Lower East Side to DC's magnificent Metro. For all their many flaws, they prove that Americans could, in fact, plan and build fragments of a better society, which survive and sometimes thrive today in one of the unequal places on earth. Walking the Streets/Walking the Projects takes a hard look at these enclaves, and asks what a new generation of American socialists might be able to learn from them.

The book focuses on all typological aspects of arches and vaults within the heritage of design and construction, while bringing attention to new "e;green"e; materials, promoting a circular economy informed by limitations caused by global warming. The multidisciplinary approach involves several different competences in architecture, structural engineering, conservation and restoration, geomatics, BIM, building engineering, the technology and history of construction, graphical methods of assessment, and innovative design that utilizes non-polluting materials. After an overview of the technical and aesthetic advantages of masonry vaults, there is a review of the most up-to-date trends in historic preservation. Classic methods of static assessment and innovative building technologies are detailed. Surveying methods and data acquisition are discussed, particularly laser scanning technology and its applications in heritage masonry curved structures. Next comes the experimental static and dymanic behavior of masonry vaults, followed by a critical revision of Distinct Element innovative computerized Methods. An explanation as to how to pass from classic stability analysis to an adaptive Finite Element Method limit analysis procedure is offered. Reinterpretation of the past is then undertaken, with an eye towards emphasizing sustainability. Finally, the conclusion examines  still existing gaps in knowledge and recommends avenues of future research.

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.
