This book is a free associative recount of the I Prefer Not To lecture series staged by architect Peter Swinnen at the ETH Department of Architecture (Zürich). Twelve particular guests touch upon various attitudes of professional abstinence and/or obstinacy. In an offbeat manner, I Prefer Not To can be understood as a critical re-assessment of architecture's social and political ethos, often tightly contained and devoid of any unforeseen mischief. Through the words, positions and works of the speaker guests I Prefer Not To managed - for a brief moment - to install an unformatted stage for problematization and debate. Each lecture is introduced by an editor's note, contextualizing specific choices and unadapted zooms.Text: Something Fantastic, Anne Lacaton, Jan De Vylder, Philip Ursprung, Tom Emerson, Laurent Stalder, François Charbonnet, Anri Sala, Maarten Delbeke, Finn Williams, Arno Brandlhuber, ETH Studio Swinnen, Sophia Holst, Beatriz Van Houtte.

Maginnis' practical guide to pen drawing features several of his own illustrations, created expressly for this instructive volume.

Kooperative Standards meint gestalterische, programmatische, räumliche Elemente, die sich aus Erfahrungswissen und geteilter Verantwortung heraus konstituieren. Als Antworten auf spezifische Probleme und Bedarfe weichen sie von verallgemeinernden Regeln und Normen ab und ermöglichen es, jeweils in ihrem Umfeld besondere Qualitäten und Beziehungen zu realisieren. Eine Betondecke, die den Barbetrieb erlaubt, während oben noch gebaut wird, Gerüste und Wintergärten, Balkone und Laubengänge die Wohnräume erweitern und mit der Nachbarschaft verflechten, ein Betriebshof, auf dem so gewohnt und gearbeitet werden kann, wie es eigentlich verboten ist. Die Hefte 1-7 entfalten das Thema der kooperativen Standards auf ganz unterschiedlichen Ebenen der Planung und Gestaltung. Die hier versammelten Projekte von Assemble, Inken Baller, common room, Jesko Fezer, Gabu Heindl, Lacaton & Vassal und NL Architects, zeigen, dass besondere räumliche Qualitäten, Funktionen und Programme wie auch Schönheit und Luxus, vor allem dann realisiert werden können, wenn die Bewohnenden auch die Handelnden sind - sei es in der mitbestimmten Planung oder im selbstverantwortlichen täglichen Gebrauch.Die Herausgeber*innen Marieke Behne, Christoph Heinemann und Justus Griesenberg haben die Reihe Kooperative Standards im Rahmen ihrer Tätigkeit im Arbeitsgebiet Architektur und Stadt (HafenCity Universität Hamburg, 2017-2022) entwickelt, wo sie sich insbesondere mit situativen und relationalen Dispositionen im urbanen Handlungsraum auseinandergesetzt haben.

Buildings are made up of different layers which have different lifespans. Like human bodies, they are composed of skin, bones and organs, but unlike a living organism where the different parts have closely interwoven lifespans, a structure, a facade or a spatial plan become more durable if they can be changed independently of each other. Buildings are witnesses to other times, times before us and times yet to come. They are thresholds that let us peek at how previous generations lived and how coming generations might carry on. The timelessness that many strive for in architecture is not part of the nature of trans magazin. People and ideas come and go. It lives from the present, tries to reflect on the past, and looks towards a future.

Building with earthquakes is a familiar yet persistent design problem for resilient construction on all continents. This book elaborates on various factors for earthquake-resilient architecture in six thematic chapters that explore the design strategies of lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity and consistency. These factors allow designers to develop contextual solutions that marry technical know-how with social and cultural understanding, ranging in scale from buildings to furniture and urban master plans. 120 case studies from roughly 30 countries, including some highly prestigious buildings, provide a comprehensive overview of the different design strategies.

A window is a mediating device between our body and the environment: by simply opening or closing it, we can regulate air, light, and sight. Both climatic and cultural conditions, alongside technological developments, shape the architecture of windows. Switzerland's diverse climate, which results from the Alps' particular geomorphology and its geographical location at the crossroads of European cultures, has generated a wide variety of window forms.The collection of windows gathered from field research takes the reader on a tour of the diverse practices of living and working in the country. Full-page hand drawings portray each window as a part of a complex network of elements and a site of knowledge. Short texts offer insight into various historical, technological, and socio-economic conditions of each spatial configuration. Conversations with Swiss architects reveal challenges of window design in contemporary building processes. The book unveils the role of the window as a tool for resourceful living practice and suggests ecological perspectives for its architectural design.

The object of this book is to enable the beginner to learn to make simple mechanical drawings without the aid of an instructor, and to create an interest in the subject by giving examples such as the machinist meets with in his every-day workshop practice. The plan of representing in many examples the pencil lines, and numbering the order in which they are marked, the author believes to possess great advantages for the learner, since it is the producing of the pencil lines that really proves the study, the inking in being merely a curtailed repetition of the pencilling. Similarly when the drawing of a piece, such, for example, as a fully developed screw thread, is shown fully developed from end to end, even though the pencil lines were all shown, yet the process of construction will be less clear than if the process of development be shown gradually along the drawing. Thus beginning at an end of the example the first pencil lines only may be shown, and as the pencilling progresses to the right-hand, the development may progress so that at the other or left-hand end, the finished inked in and shaded thread may be shown, and between these two ends will be found a part showing each stage of development of the thread, all the lines being numbered in the order in which they were marked. This prevents a confusion of lines, and makes it more easy to follow or to copy the drawing. It is the numerous inquiries from working machinists for a book of this kind that have led the author to its production, which he hopes and believes will meet the want thus indicated, giving to the learner a sufficiently practical knowledge of mechanical drawing to enable him to proceed further by copying such drawings as he may be able to obtain, or by the aid of some of the more expensive and elaborate books already published on the subject. He believes that in learning mechanical drawing without the aid of an instructor the chief difficulty is overcome when the learner has become sufficiently familiar with the instruments to be enabled to use them without hesitation or difficulty, and it is to attain this end that the chapter on plotting mechanical motions and the succeeding examples have been introduced; these forming studies that are easily followed by the beginner; while sufficiently interesting to afford to the student pleasure as well as profit.

In seinem Büro Urbana, Bangladesch, entwirft Kashef Chowdhury Architekturen, die in der Geschichte und Natur ihres Ortes verwurzelt sind. Natur umfasst hierbei nicht nur Vegetation, Pflanzen und Wälder, sondern auch den spirituellen und kulturellen Kontext einer bestimmten Umgebung und Landschaft. Seine Arbeiten reichen von der Umwandlung von Schiffen über Wohnbauten bis zu Moscheen, Museen und Firmenzentralen. Allen Projekten gemeinsam ist, dass ihnen eine umfassende Forschungsarbeit zugrunde liegt, die darauf abzielt, im Bewusstsein für einen spezifischen Ort und seine Natur ein hohes Mass an Innovation und originellem Ausdruck zu erreichen. So entfalte sich in der Kombination von traditionellem Baustil und zeitgenössischer Architektur oftmals erst eine inspirierende Wirkung. The Consciousness of Place ist eine philosophische Auseinandersetzung Chowdhurys mit seinem eigenen Architekturverständnis, basierend auf seinen Forschungen und Vorträgen. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Bedeutung einer Architektur, die in der Lage ist, uns mit der Natur zu verbinden und uns von der Hektik des städtischen Lebens zu befreien. Häuser und Arbeitsplätze sollten in Oasen der Ruhe und Gelassenheit verwandelt werden, um die Vorzüge der Natur im Sinne einer Erneuerung und Entspannung nutzen zu können. Chowdhury betont die Notwendigkeit, der Natur zu lauschen, ihre Schönheit zu schätzen. Entsprechend bevorzugt er bei seinen Projekten auch natürliche Materialien, setzt auf das Spiel von Licht und Schatten als wesentliche Elemente, um Räume zu schaffen, die uns zum Nachdenken und Innehalten anregen. Die Publikation ist ein Manifest für eine Architektur, die im bewussten Einklang mit dem jeweiligen Ort die Identität der Kultur und ihrer Menschen widerspiegelt. Sein Schaffen versteht Chowdhury dabei weniger als Arbeit, sondern vielmehr als ein Wirken aus Liebe zur Kunst, die dem Menschen dient - darin sieht er die wahre Natur der Architektur.Das gebaute Werk von Chowdhury hat in den vergangenen Jahren internationale Aufmerksamkeit erlangt und wurde u.a. unter anderem mit dem RIBA International Prize 2022 und dem Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2016 ausgezeichnet.In his office Urbana, Bangladesh, Kashef Chowdhury designs architecture that is rooted in the history and nature of the location. Nature in this sense not only consists of vegetation, plants and forests, but also the spiritual and cultural context of a specific environment and landscape. The range of his works includes the transformation of ships, the development of housing and the construction of mosques, museums and corporate headquarters. All of his projects have the common feature that they are based on comprehensive research work, aimed at applying an awareness of a specific location and its nature to achieve a high degree of innovation and original expression. This combination of traditional building styles and contemporary architecture often has an inspirational effect. The Consciousness Of Place is Chowdhury's philosophical engagement with his own understanding of architecture, based on his research and lectures. It focuses on the significance of architecture, which is able to connect us to nature and liberate us from hectic urban life. Buildings and workplaces should be transformed into oases of peace and relaxation in order to benefit from nature's regenerative and relaxing qualities. Chowdhury stresses the need to listen to nature and appreciate its beauty. Accordingly, he prefers natural materials in his projects, while also using the interplay of light and shadow as a key element to create spaces that inspire us to pause and think. This publication is a manifesto of a form of architecture that harmonises with the respective location, reflecting the identity of its culture and people. Chowdhury regards his task not so much as work and more as an activity stemming from his love of an art form that serves the people - which he believes is the nature of architecture.In recent years, Chowdhury's constructed works have attracted international attention and have been awarded prizes such as the 2022 RIBA International Prize and the 2016 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

Landschaftsarchitektur schafft und gestaltet Freiräume für den Menschen: um, auf, an und sogar innerhalb von Gebäuden, als autarke Schöpfungen in besiedelten Gebieten oder in der freien Natur. Sie vermittelt zwischen Natur und Baukunst, verbindet gewachsene und geplante Umwelt, bringt Funktion und Ästhetik zusammen. Zentrale Aufgabe heute ist vor dem Hintergrund des Klimawandels die Erhaltung der natürlichen Ressourcen sowie die Schaffung nachhaltiger, hochwertiger Grün- und Freiräume, insbesondere im urbanen Kontext.Dieses Kompendium bietet als Nachschlagewerk und Inspirationsquelle anhand von Projekten aus der ganzen Welt einen Überblick zum gesamten Schaffensgebiet. Allen gemeinsam ist, dass ökologisch und sozial intakte Lebensräume geschaffen und gestaltet werden. Ziemlich genau zehn Jahre nach dem "Atlas of World Landscape Architecture" zieht diese neue Publikation eine Bilanz der letzten Dekade.

Tropische Wohnarchitektur hat sich von geografisch spezifischen Bauformen zu einer zeitgenössischen Inspirationsquelle für die Wohnkultur überall auf der Welt entwickelt. Maßgeblich durch natürliche Materialien und offene Grundrisse lassen sich wunderbare Räume schaffen, in denen der Mensch natürlich Schutz vor Sonne und Regen findet, sich vor allem aber wohlfühlen kann. Eine zentrale Rolle spielt immer der Dialog zwischen Innen und Außen, zwischen Haus und der umgebenden Natur, der zum Bestandteil der Gestaltungskonzepte wird.Dieser Band stellt die innovativsten Realisierungen dieses Genres aus den letzten Jahren vor. Ob verträumtes Stranddomizil, elegante Loftwohnung, rustikale Dschungelbehausung oder exklusive Poolvilla, jedes vorgestellte Projekt ist ein individuelles Schmuckstück, entworfen von renommierten Architekten und innovativen Newcomern. Sie zeigen gekonnt, wie üppige Pflanzen gleich einem grünen Teppich durch das Haus wachsen, wie leichte, fließende Stoffe einen flexiblen und weichen Raumabschluss bilden oder wie viel Sonnenlicht die transparenten Räume durchflutet und leuchtende Farben die ausgewählten Materialien ergänzen.

Bibliotheken sind Orte des Lernens, des Entdeckens, aber auch des Zusammentreffens. Doch diese Institution durchläuft seit einiger Zeit einen bemerkenswerten Imagewandel vom introvertierten Wissensspeicher zum global vernetzten Informationsanbieter und Kommunikationsvermittler. Die Anforderungen an die Architektur dieser Eckpfeiler der modernen Zivilisation ist ein viel diskutiertes Thema, muss sie doch den neuen multimedialen und digitalen Ansprüchen gerecht werden.Die architektonische Umsetzung dieses erweiterten und sich ständig weiter entwickelnden Anforderungsprofils macht den Bibliotheksbau äußerst vielschichtig und komplex. Aber genau deswegen birgt er enorme Potentiale für kühne Entwürfe und geniale ästhetische Konzepte. Ob Neubau, Um- oder Erweiterungsbau, dieser Band zeigt die Vielfältigkeit der Bauaufgabe im Spannungsfeld von modernster Technik und kulturellen Ansprüchen im digitalen Zeitalter.

"Building to Heal: New Architecture for Hospitals" examines the hardships and major challenges faced by the hospital system today and presents innovative models and solutions in healthcare architecture. Through critical, scientifically based discourse, a variety of authors examine healthcare systems and hospital architecture, what hospitals are missing, and how architecture can contribute to the healing process of patients. The publication answers these questions in three comprehensive chapters based on the medical process: "Symptoms," "Diagnosis," and "Therapy." The introductory section describes the symptoms of the "sick house" and spotlights the urgent need to take these problems seriously in the contexts of both society as a whole and architecture. In the second section, experts from psychology, medicine, and the related sciences, as well as from architectural theory and philosophy, take a diagnostic look at the complex causes that lead to the "diseased house." The third section presents seven "active ingredients" or scientifically investigated environmental variables for successful therapy, incorporating tools from evidence-based design. Finally, thirteen international case studies show how the conscious use of environmental variables leads to a hospital architecture that promotes healing. Building to Heal: New Architecture for Hospitals bridges the gap between the ever-growing expertise on healthcare architecture and the urgent need for planners, politicians, and the public to pay attention to one of the most important issues in architecture today: health.

Architectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of AbyWarburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designedKulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in1926, organized Warburg's remarkable library. From 1927Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radicaltransformation of a disused water tower into the HamburgPlanetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferredto London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architecturalcommissioning continued, including projects designed bythe avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminatingin the construction of the library's present homeat Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models:Buildings as Bilderfahrzeuge follows this history, usingarchive photographs, architectural drawings and a seriesof architectural models to show how the Warburg scholarsprojected a connection between their own physical occupancyof architectural space and their shared ideas aboutintellectual order, cultural survival, and memory.MARI LENDING and TIM ANSTEY are both professors of architecturalhistory at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design.Their continuing archive-based seminar on the relationshipbetween the Warburg Institute and architecture has developedinto an exhibition and a book, not least because of the skilledparticipation of their model-building students.

Die Höhle - sowohl als physischer Raum als auch als Metapher - ist eine Provokation, um die Grenzen der zeitgenössischen Architektur zu testen. Sie lädt dazu ein, darüber nachzudenken, wie sich Architektur an eine stärker auf die Gemeinschaft ausgerichtete, ökologisch sensible und schadstoffarme Zukunft anpassen kann. Diese Publikation sowie die begleitende sechste Ausstellung in der Reihe The Architect's Studio im Louisiana Museum of Modern Art sind dem kenianischen Architektenbüro Cave_bureau gewidmet. Stella Mutegi und Kabage Karanja von Cave_bureau beschreiben acht ihrer Projekte. Atemberaubendes Bildmaterial wird von Essays begleitet, die auf griffige Weise Fragen zur Zukunft der Architektur im Zeitalter des Anthropozäns, zu den Auswirkungen der kolonialen Ausbeutung und Auslöschung auf dei afrikanische Architektur sowie zur Besonderheit jedes Kontinents und jedes geografischen Raums stellen.

Anyone can draw but not everyone can make good drawings.

The Chairman Der Architekt und Designer Martin Mostböck entwirft Möbel, Häuser, Geschäftseinrichtungen, Interieurs, Dinge des Alltags und ist ein Grenzgänger zwischen den Disziplinen. Der Sessel stellt für ihn eine ganz besondere Herausforderung dar, denn wie es der Architekt Frank Gehry einmal ausdrückte: Einen Sessel zu entwerfen sei so schwierig, wie den Mount Everest zu besteigen. Manche sprechen gar vom Olymp des Designs. Mostböck entsagt oberflächlichem Styling, geht den Dingen mit seinen Entwürfen auf den Grund. Er forscht, sucht und findet das Authentische. In der Ausstellung "The Chairman" zeigt Mostböck nun in der Landesgalerie Burgenland in Eisenstadt viele Entwürfe aus mehreren Jahrzehnten seines Schaffens. Dabei sind Sessel, Möbel, Häuser und Interieurs im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kunst- und Serienprodukt zu sehen. Präsentiert werden unter anderem seine ausgezeichneten Museumstücke, darunter Objekte aus dem Museum of Arts and Design in New York, dem Design Museum Holon in Tel-Aviv oder dem Museum für angewandte Kunst in Wien. - Entwürfe im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kunst- und Serienprodukt- International gefragtes und vielfach ausgezeichnetes Design aus Österreich
