Byplanlægning: arkitektoniske aspekter

Die psychiatrische Heilanstalt in Haar übernahm bei ihrer Gründung 1905 die Idee der Reformarchitektur. Locker im Park verteilte Einzelhäuser sollten der Genesung dienen. Mit dieser Gartenstadtidee wurde ein riesiges Gelände mit über 100 Gebäuden erschlossen. Ein ländlicher Jugendstil prägte die Krankenstadt, die heute unter Denkmalschutz steht. Nach Ende des psychiatrischen Betriebs beschloss die Gemeinde, die Pracht ihrer Heilanstalt einer neuen lukrativen Nutzung zuzuführen. Der "Jugendstilpark" rund um die Kirche "Maria Sieben Schmerzen" wurde 2010 an zwei Bauträger verkauft, die das alte "Irrenhaus" in eine lebendige Parksiedlung verwandeln sollten. Neben dem Umbau des Bestands lag der Schwerpunkt in der Nachverdichtung. Der Architekturwettbewerb 2012 suchte nach einem überzeugenden Verhältnis der Gegenwartsarchitektur zum historischen Stil. Bogevischs buero, die als Sieger gekürt wurden, entwickelten eine ausbalancierte Gestaltungsphilosophie von Annäherung und Distanz. In der lockeren Verteilung der Solitäre im Parkraum folgen die Neubaureale dem Geist der Pavillonarchitektur. Allerdings sind die neuen Wohnblöcke im Kontrast zum alten linearen Plan eher angeordnet wie ein Wurf aus dem Würfelbecher. Auch die Fassadengestaltung nähert sich vorgefundenen Themen an, vermeidet aber zu buchstäbliche Anleihen. Motive wie Erker abgeschlossen mit Terrassen, Walmdächer und erhöhte Erdgeschosse werden aufgenommen. Doch im Gegensatz zur Auffassung des Jugendstils, Lebensgefühl durch dekorative Kunstfertigkeit auszudrücken, folgt das ruhige Erscheinungsbild des Neuen der Idee einer akzentuierten Reduktion.Gemeinsames Anliegen, unterschiedlicher Charakter. So lassen sich die Eingriffe durchgängig lesen, die bogevischs buero mit dem rechten Gefühl für kulturhistorische Nachbarschaft in Haar unternommen hat.

This book's point of departure rests on the premises that dimensions of the mainstream inclusive city discourse fail to capture in detail vulnerable clusters of society (being women, children, and the aging), the minority clusters (i.e., the blind, the disabled), and migrants. In addition, it fails to recognize the increase of spatial inequality driven by racial and class differences-a factor that has seen an increase in community violence and protests. The focus on spatial inequality has, for a long time, blind-folded urban authorities to ignore exclusion arising out of the same environments created with a notion of creating inclusivity. Hence this book "e;collapses spatial walls"e; as it seeks to uncover the true perspectives of inclusivity in cities beyond spatial dimensions but within social realms. The depth of this book's enquiry rests on its critical investigation of Southern African cities' through historical epochs of apartheid and colonialism in the region.

For over seventy years, private cars have dominated public space in German cities. In the Free Street Manifesto, a creative-academic alliance fundamentally challenges this status quo, highlighting the forgotten and unrecognized characteristics of streets and the opportunities they present. In doing so, the alliance focuses on a communal spatial resource that we, in times of climate change, digitalization, and social inequality, urgently need to learn to use differently. Through images, comics, graphics, and succinct scientific insights, the Free Street Manifesto points the way to a future full of exciting possibilities-and demonstrates that our streets should be more than just a route from A to B.

After the discovery of oil, the Kuwaiti State established a means of wealth distribution for its citizens through housing programmes aimed at improving standards of living. It allocated residential neighbourhoods for Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis through the introduction of two main architectural typologies: the apartment and the villa. However, in response to certain economic, sociocultural and regulatory constraints, an unplanned hybrid typology has recently emerged. The multiplex, specific to Kuwait and yet not officially recognised by the state, has become the informal expression of specific living needs that is now ubiquitous across Kuwait.Here, for the first time, the authors of "The Multiplex Typology" explore everyday life in these hybrid homes, arguing that the one-size-fits-all housing model of the past is both outdated and unsustainable. But this book is not merely a documentation of the current state of living in Kuwait, nor a straightforward analysis of Kuwaiti domestic architecture today. It is also an urgent and timely call for alternative approaches to housing that are sustainably driven, culturally rooted and responsive to future change.

Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer in very confined spaces. The book, the result of a study lasting several years, subjects more than 60 exemplary projects to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalogue of strategies and innovative design tools. The designer and planner thus obtains an overview of the range of design possibilities. Eight new case studies from China, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland were selected and added for the enlarged edition of this reference work on riverbank design.

Taming the Oriental Bazaar examines the public market-hall as a key architectural feature of colonial South Asia. Representing a transition in the architectural programme, these buildings were meant to be monuments and markers of modernity in South Asia.

Public and private, traffic and open space, planned and spontaneous - our idea of a city is characterised by opposites. However, the contributors to this bilingual book show that these poles can also be consciously connected. The urban building blocks from São Paolo present surprisingly idiosyncratic city scenes: People dancing along the motorway, strolling through the stone archipelago, splashing around in front of the city skyline...Many of the case studies are linked to the ideas of the Brazilian urban planner Francisco Prestes Maia. As early as in the 1930s, he developed concepts that combine traffic, open space and architecture - a surprisingly contemporary approach.Öffentliches und Privates, Verkehr und Freiraum, Geplantes und Spontanes - unsere Stadtvorstellung ist geprägt durch Gegensätze. Dagegen zeigen die Beitragenden in dem zweisprachigen Band, dass sich diese Pole auch bewusst verknüpfen lassen. Die Stadtbausteine aus São Paolo präsentieren unerwartet eigenwillige Stadtszenen: Tanzende entlang der Schnellstraße, Flanierende durch das Steinarchipel, Planschende vor der Stadtsilhouette...Viele der vorgestellten Projekte sind verknüpft mit den Ideen des brasilianischen Stadtplaners Francisco Prestes Maia. Schon in den 1930er Jahren entwickelte er Konzepte, die Verkehr, Freiraum und Architektur zusammendenken - ein überraschend aktueller Ansatz.

Home Ownership is a Human Right...It's a travesty that our young can no longer afford a home of their ownHow did Australian home ownership become so unattainable? Can we 're-think' the way housing is built so the Australian Dream can again be possible for future generations?As economic conditions and demographics change, health, environmental and economic 'shadows' are spreading with the growth and cost of suburban 'paradise'. Through rethinking the housing, urban design, transport and government policy, we can revolutionise the way we build our future towns and cities - and make the dream of home ownership a possibility again.The New Australian Dream explores the history of Australian home ownership - from its humble beginnings in colonial Australia to its current status. It offers an alternative vision, and a way forward, by re-imagining the Australian Dream, and safeguarding our future and the future of home ownership for generations to come.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Grave takes a ground-level view of how burial sites have transformed over time and how they continue to change. As a cemetery tour guide, Allison C. Meier has spent more time walking among tombstones than most. Even for her, the grave has largely been invisible, an out of the way and unobtrusive marker of death. However, graves turn out to be not always so subtle, reverent, or permanent. While the indigent and unidentified have frequently been interred in mass graves, a fate brought into the public eye during the COVID-19 pandemic, the practice today is not unlike burials in the potter's fields of the colonial era. Burial is not the only option, of course, and Meier analyzes the rise of cremation, green burial, and new practices like human composting, investigating what is next for the grave and how existing spaces of death can be returned to community life.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

A resounding response to the environmental devastation and hardships-of-youth going on all over the world. Communal home designs are the last lines in the sand left to draw!

This book is an interdisciplinary research work designed to be of interest to a broad range of academics. The book examines the relationship between democracy and the (trans)formations of urban spaces through comparative perspective. It engages with the ideas of 'modernity' in architecture and investigates how they might align (or not) with other forms of radical power.This book offers an understanding of the public spaces through political change, power struggle, and autocratic modernity manifested. It addresses the subject of politics in architecture and built environment by examining the various academic literature in urban studies, architectural history, urban anthropology, urban sociology, cultural geographies, planning history, philosophy, and the broader social and political sciences. Followingly, it will be focused on the less well-known traditions of architecture and democratic values drawing upon western and (non)western perspectives to decolonize the notion of public space in the global south. In better words, the book investigates the mechanisms of power struggles and the transformative dynamism of totalization and state-led modernization, which motivates or shapes a creative tension in the form of the city.The topic of the work is novel and aims to examine the relationship between the affordances of public spaces, their micro-histories, and the emergence of critical social events and movements. The breadth of the topic demanded engagement with a rich body of architectural theory and history and relevant texts in urban sociology, colonial and postcolonial studies, political geography, and cultural studies, a challenge to which the book has responded outstandingly. The issue is urgent for policymakers and architects, urban designers, political and cultural geographers, and other practitioners working on the built environment to create more democratic public spaces in the global south.

Atelier Kempe Thill sind für ihre innovativen und minimalistischen Entwürfe in Architektur und Städtebau bekannt. Mit ausgefeilten Raumsystemen und einer unkonventionellen Verwendung von Materialien versuchen die Architekten, möglichst resiliente und kostengünstige Lösungen zu finden. Für diese Balance zwischen Gebäuden, die für verschiedene Nutzungen offen sind und sich zugleich durch besondere Entwürfe auszeichnen, haben sie schon in ihrem 2004 veröffentlichten Manifest den Begriff der»Spezifischen Neutralität« geprägt.Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Klima- und Wirtschaftskrise und der daraus resultierenden sich schnell verändernden Nachfrage nach Räumen und deren Nutzung ist dieser Ansatz aktueller denn je. Die beiden Architekten stellen in ihrer zweiten Monografie 23 Projekte aus den letzten 12 Jahren vor, die durch thematische Essays der Autoren und von namhaften Expert*innen aus dem Bereich der Architektur abgerundet werden.ATELIER KEMPE THILL wurde 2000 von den deutschen Architekten André Kempe (*1968) und Oliver Thill (*1971) in Rotterdam gegründet, die auch in Forschung und Lehre tätig sind und aktuell eine Professur an der Leibniz Universität Hannover innehaben. Angefangen mit kollektivem Wohnungsbau und kleinen Aufträgen für öffentliche Gebäude hat sich das Portfolio des Büros um große Renovierungs-, Infrastruktur- und Stadtplanungsprojekte erweitert. Das Büro hat heute mehr als 30 Mitarbeitende.

This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to our understanding of infrastructure, and it's influence on happiness and wellbeing, by examining the concept from economic, human development, architectural, urban planning, psychological, and ethical points of view.

Technical lands are spaces united by their "exceptional" status-their remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured accessibility, and vigilant management. Designating land as "technical" is thus a political act. Doing so entails dividing, marginalizing, and rendering portions of the Earth inaccessible and invisible. An anti-visuality of technical lands enables forms of hypervisibility and surveillance through the rhetorical veil of technology. Including the political and physical boundaries, technical lands are used in highly aestheticized geographies to resist debate surrounding production and governance. These critical sites and spaces range from disaster exclusion and demilitarized zones to prison yards, industrial extraction sites, airports, and spaceports. The identification and instrumentalization of technical lands have increased in scale and complexity since the rise of neoliberalization. Yet, the precise theoretical contours that define these geographies remain unclear. Technical Lands: A Critical Primer brings together authors from a diverse array of disciplines, geographies, and epistemologies to interrogate and theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical lands.
