The Emergence of Bangladesh analyses and celebrates the first 50 years of Bangladesh as a nation, bringing insights from key scholars in Bangladeshi studies to an international audience, as well as ¿bringing home¿ to a domestic audience the work of some of the nation¿s greatest intellectual exports, the Bangladeshi scholars who have made a mark in their field of study in academia. The book offers unique coverage of the battlegrounds on which the founding of the new nation was fought, including language, power and religion, and provides unique insight into some of the hot spots that continue to shape the development of the nation: the issues of gender, culture, ethnicity, governance, the economy and the army. Those with an interest in understanding the past or present Bangladesh will find this a trove of frank and readable analysis.

"Prishtina in 53 Buildings" draws a multifaceted portrait of Kosovo's capital city by using architecture as a prism to understand political, cultural and economic processes. Essays on fifty-three built structures, written by different authors with different geographical background and different professional perspective, add up to multilayered account of the city's history and present. The texts include architectural analyses, political reflections, ethnographic observations and personal memories. Taken together, however, they allow for an understanding of the ambiguous and conflicting processes that are propelling urban development not only in Prishtina. The texts are supplemented by pictures and a visual essay by Italian photographer Filippo Romano."Prishtina in 53 Buildings" is more than a guide book for visitors or residents of the city. Buildings are not only the materialization of design principles or architectonic ideas, but the outcome of socio-economic processes. The built environment is constantly re-appropriated, re-interpreted and re-valuated as architects do not have the final say as to the meaning and the function of an edifice. By conceptualizing architecture as materialization of societal processes, "Prishtina in 53 Buildings" pushes beyond notions that assume an intrinsic and coherent 'logic' of cities. The editors Donika Luzhnica and Jonas König show that a polyphonic approach is more apposite to depict the often-contradictory trajectories of urban development. What holds true for cities in general, is in particular applicable for post-conflict cities like Prishtina. EditorsDonika Luzhnica is an architect based in Zurich and Prishtina, where she co-founded Ars Atelie. Her award-winning research on the reactivation of Gërmia, a former department store in Prishtina, was featured at Architecture Biennale 2021 in Venice. She was a guest editor of a special feature of the German architecture magazine Bauwelt on Prishtina's urban development and architecture. She currently works with CH Architekten in Zurich. Jonas König is a researcher at the Institute of Urban and Regional Planning at Technical University Berlin. He was a guest editor of two special features of the architecture magazine Bauwelt on architecture in Albania (2019) and Prishtina (2022) and has published in journals such as City, Kajet, Monu, and dérive on urban development issues in Southeast Europe.PhotographerFilippo Romano is a documentary and architecture photographer. Filippo Romano's work has been exhibited internationally, among others, at the Biennale of Architecture in Venice 2010 and 2021. Also, he has published several books and has been featured in media outlets such as Abitare, Dwell, Domus, Io Donna, Courrier International, Huffington Post, and Newsweek.

The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature explores transnational perspectives of modern city life in Europe by engaging with the fantastic tropes and metaphors used by writers of short fiction. Focusing on the literary city and literary representations of urban experience throughout the nineteenth century, the works discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences in a European city and the supernatural of these stories stems from and belongs to the city. The argument is structured around three primary themes. ¿Architectures¿, ¿Encounters¿ and ¿Rhythms¿ make reference to three axes of city life: material space, human encounters, and movement. This thematic approach highlights cultural continuities and thus supports the use of the label of ¿urban fantastic¿ within and across the European traditions studied here.

The question of what heritage is and how we deal with it is not a neutral one. Recent events such as the Black Lives Matter movement and the toppling of monuments have made evident how much the colonial past is inscribed in our built environment; at the same time, colonialism affects memorialization and historiography. Hence, those involved in architectural history are challenged to re-consider their positionality. Whose heritage are colonial sites? Which conflicting memories are attached to them? How are archives and material evidence reassessed to bring forward the stories of marginalized subjects? Following the call for decolonization, this volume explores historical methodologies and shows the entanglement of narratives at architectural sites, bringing together archaeology, architectural history, and heritage studies. A contribution to the current debate on decolonization and memorialization Interdisciplinary perspectives on architecture and heritage International range of authors

»In seiner Anmerkung zu der in England 1994 als Landscape as Inspiration erschienenen Ausgabe meines Buches Neue Landschaftsarchitektur / New Landscape Architecture vergleicht Geoffrey Jellicoe meine Zeichnungsüberlegungen mit den Arbeiten Paul Klees. Was zunächst etwas hochgegriffen klingt, ist insofern richtig, als ich mich in allem, was ich zeichne, entwerfe und realisiere, nicht ausschließlich im banalen Alltags- und Funktionsraum bewege, sondern immer zweite und dritte Surrealitäten mit reflektiere. »Kunst gibt nicht das Sichtbare wieder, sondern macht sichtbar«, so formulierte Paul Klee den Vorgang. Zu Recht könnte jeder Betrachter und Leser die Frage dagegenstellen: Was haben derartige Kunst-äußerungen mit der Alltagsarchitektur zu tun? Ich denke: sehr viel, und zwar deswegen, weil alle Architekturprobleme und deren Lösungen mehrschichtig sind, genauso wie reine Kunstwerke. Jeder Bau faßt seine architektonische, städtische, dörfliche und landschaftliche Umgebung zusammen und definiert sie neu. Gewollt oder ungewollt, übertrieben oder zurückhaltend, jeder Bau kann wirken wie ein Meteor- oder Bombeneinschlag, eine unauffällige Anmerkung oder ein Verschönerungsattentat. Mich interessieren an einem städtischen oder landschaftlichen Ort die Vergangenheit, die Gegenwart und die Zukunft. Mein Blick will archäologische Arbeitsweisen genauso integrieren wie Funktionserfüllungen und phantasievoll-surreale, manchmal auch utopische Ausblühungen. Ich würde niemals so weit gehen zu behaupten: Architektur ist das Notwendige, und Kunst ist das Unnötige. Natürlich wird jeder Künstler-Architekt, der sich auf diesen kompliziert-komplexen Weg begibt, Schwierigkeiten mit der banalen, scheinbar oberflächlichen Alltagsrealität in der Natur, der Landschaft und der Stadt bekommen. Deswegen ist es nicht verwunderlich, daß ich nur wenige Architekturen und Bildinszenierungen verwirklichen konnte und daß ich im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte zunehmend in die Bühnenbild- und Gestaltungsbereiche abgedrängt wurde. Im Augenblick interessiert sich, dank der ökologischen Bewegung, kaum noch jemand für die Verbindung von Kunst und Architektur. Wichtiger sind Nachhaltigkeits- und Nullenergiehäuser, bei denen sich kaum noch die Fenster öffnen lassen. Könnte es sein, daß Baukultur, ja die gesamte Kultur, bald in grünen Urwäldern und riesigen Feuchtbiotopen versinkt? Oder werden vorher fremde, kriegerische Völker unsere Städte und Landschaften zerstören oder besetzen und neu kultivieren?«

This is a groundbreaking study of the design and history of Olmsted's most mature expression of urban park design, which after WWI fell into drastic decline. Historians fault the design as obsolete, a casualty of changing trends in public recreation. Carr disagrees, offering a persuasive argument that the decline was a consequence of the city's lack of stewardship, an example of institutionalized racism. Hilderbrand's afterword describes the current Action Plan, a comprehensive community-based initiative to galvanize revitalization.

This book, with contributions from leading academics - and including reviews and case studies from Ethiopian Church forests - provides a valuable reference for advanced students and researchers interested in forest and other natural resource management, ecology and ecosystem services as well as restoration options. The book addresses various aspects including a general overview of Ethiopian church forests, the present role and future challenges of church forests. It also discusses their structure and diversity in the context of sustainability and discusses restoration options for surrounding landscapes, under consideration of the circumstances of the land and the needs of surrounding communities. The intended readership includes natural resource professionals in general as well as forestry professionals in particular (practitioners, policymakers, educators and researchers). The book will provide the reader with a good foundation for understanding Ethiopian forest resources and restoration options of degraded landscape.

2017 hat die Stadt Würzburg ihr erstes Baugruppenprojekt auf den Weg gebracht. Von den Münchner Projektsteuerungsspezialisten für Baugruppen, Plan Z, wurde bogevischs buero mit dem Entwurf beauftragt. Für 16 Wohnungen mit 14 Familien und 18 Kindern entstand eine Zwillingsarchitektur. Zwei quadratische Gebäude, die durch Loggien und Dachterrassen kubistische Körperlichkeit gewinnen, stehen sich gegenüber. Die Holzfassaden mit verschiedenen Fenstergrößen auf hellem Betonsockel vermitteln nach Außen, wie dieser Hybrid innen organisiert ist. Ein Treppenhauskern aus Stahlbeton trägt die Massivholz-Konstruktion der Wohnungen in 16 verschiedene Grundrisse. Ein Gemeinschaftsraum am Hof zeugt von der kommunikativen Idee der Baugruppentradition, dass ihre Mitglieder nicht nur persönliche Interessen nach günstigem Wohneigentum verfolgen, sondern auch in Nachbarschaftlichkeit investieren. In der Parkstadt Schawbing zeigt ein anderes Projekt von bogevischs buero, dass auch in der Idee der Baugenossenschaft noch jener schöne Gedanke zu Verwirklichung strebt, Mieter nicht als scheue Rehe, sondern als kontaktfreudige Sozialwesen zu behandeln. Das von dem Münchner Beamtenwohnungsverein errichtete Eckgebäude besitzt mehrere Optionen, um Hausgemeinschaft zu fördern. Hinter einer Glaswürfelwand befindet sich ein großer Gemeinschaftsraum. Davor liegt eine Spielfläche mit einer Toberampe über der Tiefgarageneinfahrt. Und auf dem Dach wurde eine Gemeinschaftsterrasse mit Küche, Holzbänken und Kastenbeeten eingeschnitten. Viele Details, von den Moiré-erzeugenden Lochblechen vor den Fenstern über das Farbkonzept bis zu dem wertigen Bodenbelag aus Kalkstein belegen, dass auch genossenschaftliches Bauen zu schönem Wohnen bei erschwinglichen Mietpreisen führt, wenn es mit klugen Designentscheidungen geplant wird.

Image Cities takes us on a journey through cities the Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranks highest according to their degree of "global interconnectedness." We find them in a process of transformation concealed behind dummy façades onto which a sense of heightened anticipation has been projected. It would be tempting to read these photographs as a polemic against the triumph of consumerism and a slowly numbing global visual-economic order that wraps itself around whatever once felt local and civic. Samoylova's photography is full of masterful refinements of the existing clichés of urban photography: Citizens dwarfed by giant images. Faces and bodies refracted through glass. The Pop-Cubism of visual bricolage. The minuscule human figures that stroll seemingly indifferent through city space while being at least partly somewhere else in their imaginations¿ their existence already a collage of places and times. Yet, Samoylova consciously engages with cliché, takes it apart and reassembles it, gambling that it can be taken to a level of pictorial sophistication that eludes any simple argument or statement. Instead, she invites us to reflect on photography's role in the creation of a gap between these citie's brand identity and their everyday reality.ANASTASIA SAMOYLOVA (*1984) grew up in Moscow. In 2008 she moved to the United States, where she graduated with a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Art from Bradley University, Illinois. Her work explores the tension between the staged perception of a bombastic materialism and reality. Living and working in Miami, Florida has become the backdrop for her combination of collage-like details with the genre of the road trip. Her recent series Flood Zones and Floridas have received great critical acclaim.

The long-term Photographic Observation Schlieren is a much-recognized unique research project that documents urban development in Switzerland. Over a period of fifteen years, a photographic record of building activity and urbanization processes was conducted to demonstrate how these are altering the character of a typical Swiss suburban community. The chosen example was the town of Schlieren, bordering the city of Zurich to the west, whose population grew from 13,000 to 20,000 residents during the observation period of 2005-20. At Sixty-nine locations throughout Schlieren, pictures were taken under identical conditions every two years that show the changes in the spatial interplay of buildings, streets, and green spaces. Simultaneously, series of topical detailed photographs were produced that focus on individual objects and tell of the appropriation, design, and aesthetics of habitats, such as store fronts, building entrances, playgrounds, parking entrances, etc. This two-volume book brings together the results of this spectacular research. The Archive volume features the entire body of the eight images taken at each of the sixty-nine sites to visualize the deep changes Schlieren has undergone during these fifteen years. The Essays volume combines the topical image series with essays that offer in-depth examination of the study's subject, detailed analyses and interpretations, and interviews by expert authors from various disciplines. Winner of the DAM Architectural Book Award 2023.

Bisher war der Umgang mit Kälte der dominierende klimatische Faktor beim Entwerfen von Architektur in Mitteleuropa. Der offensichtliche Klimawandel weist nun der Hitze diese Rolle zu. Architektur und Stadtplanung streben nach effizienten, ressourcenschonenden technischen Lösungen, um den vorherrschenden klimatischen Bedingungen und energetischen Standards gerecht zu werden. Die Aufrechterhaltung von Komfortvorstellungen und die gewohnten Formen des Wohnens und Zusammenlebens werden dabei allerdings kaum hinterfragt. Anstatt lediglich zu versuchen, bestehende Normen zu erfüllen, sollte die Architektur jedoch vermehrt experimentelle Möglichkeiten und Wege aufzeigen, wie wir insbesondere in grossen Städten im heisser werdenden Klima gut zusammenleben können. Die in diesem Buch versammelten Beiträge formulieren - trotz der vermeintlichen Machtlosigkeit gegenüber der drohenden Klimakatastrophe - vielfältige Narrative, die von Erfahrungen, Beobachtungen und Bedürfnissen der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner von (auch fiktiven) heisser werdenden Welten erzählen. Welche Rolle können Architektur und Stadt als Klimaproduzentinnen in der Gestaltung unseres Lebensraums einnehmen, wenn diese Fragen nicht nur rein technologisch, sondern auch kulturell und sozial verstanden werden?

Since antiquity, Italy has been the origin of key themes of Western architecture and culture, many of which have evolved in exemplary and universally valid ways. Many of these continue to provide an inspiring frame of reference even today. Emulating the tradition and itinerary of the classic Grand Tour followed by European aristocrats, this comprehensive and visually appealing book takes a nuanced look at Italy today. Using the aspect of housing as a hub, it offers new narratives and positions on current issues and developments that are also highly relevant outside Italy. In the format of a graphic and textual atlas, the volume explores Italy at various scales. Zooming in and out of themes, cities, and regions, it allows for associative and nonlinear comprehension and reflection. Housing is examined as a complex construct, acted upon by diverging interests and needs as well as historical legacies. The spatial aspect of living, with its huge impact on the limited resources of land and the landscape, is the starting point for the proposals and strategies the book offers. Its audience reaches beyond the professional architecture community, aiming at anyone with an interest in the much-debated topic of (affordable) housing or in 21st-century Italy.

This edited collection provides an alternative discourse on cities evolving with physically and virtually networked communities¿the ¿digital polis¿¿and offers a variety of perspectives from the humanities, media studies, geography, architecture, and urban studies. As an emergent concept that encompasses research and practice, the digital polis is oriented toward a counter-mapping of the digital cityscape beyond policing and gatekeeping in physical and virtual gated communities. Considering the digital polis as offering potential for active support of socially just and politically inclusive urban circumstances in ways that mirror the Greek polis, our attention is drawn towards the interweaving of the development of digital technology, urban space, and social dynamics. The four parts of this book address the formation of technosocial subjectivity, real-and-virtual combined urbanity, the spatial dimensions of digital exclusion and inclusion, and the prospect of emancipatoryand empowering digital citizens. Individual chapters cover varied topics on digital feminism, data activism, networked individualism, digital commons, real-virtual communalism, the post-family imagination, digital fortress cities, rights to the smart city, online foodscapes, and open-source urbanism across the globe. Contributors explore the following questions: what developments can be found over recent decades in both physical and virtual communities such as cyberspace, and what will our urban future be like? What is the ¿digital polis¿ and what kinds of new subjectivity does it produce? How does digital technology, as well as its virtuality, reshape the city and our spatial awareness of it? What kinds of exclusion and cooperation are at work in communities and spaces in the digital age? Each chapter responds to these questions in its own way, navigating readers through routes toward the digital polis.Chapter "Introduction - The digital polisand its practices: Beyond gated communities" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Jeder Stil und jede bedeutende Epoche hat ihre eigene Vorstellung entwickelt, was ein idealer Garten ist. Wo hört Natur auf , wo fängt Garten an, und wo geht Garten in Landschaft auf? The Avant Garden blickt auf visionäre Gärten in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit, Gärten die von Künstlern oder berühmten Gartenarchitekten erdacht und angelegt wurden. All diese Gärten haben die Idee davon, was ein Garten ist und was ein Garten dem Menschen und der Umwelt geben kann, verändert und erweitert. Klimawandel , Biodiversität, und das wachsende Bewusstsein , dass Grünflächen uns Menschen , aber auch Der Natur gut tun sollten und einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Wohlbefinden leisten, verändert unser Bild davon, was Gärten sein könnten und wie sie in Zukunft aussehen werden.

How renewable energy technologies can transform our landscape for the betterThe energy transition is in full swing: across the globe, windmills and solar panels are taking over from fossil fuels. But the construction and intervention of these new structures in the landscape is often met with resistance. What if one of the biggest obstacles for this transition is not energy technologies themselves but fear of drastic changes to our living environment?Power of Landscape examines "energy landscapes" in Europe and the US (Hoover dam, Arizona and Imperial Valley, California) in the present, past and future, exploring the qualitative and emotional significance of these landscapes for residents and users, and bridging for the first time the gap between the world of renewable energy and the world of spatial design. The core of the book's research stems from work at the Academy of Architecture Amsterdam and Wageningen University by Sven Stremke, Dirk Oudes and Paolo Picchi; additional experts on energy transition and environmental design reflect on their research.
