This new book by Labics, one of Italy's leading architectural firms, is devoted to the country's architecture of public space. Galleries, loggias, porticoes, steps, and courtyards, are the elements that characterize Italy's historic towns and cities-and that make the experience of its public space so intense. Yet the volume does not feature new designs by Labics themselves: rather, Maria Claudia Clemente, Francesco Isidori, and their collaborators set out to explore historic spaces, to analyze their histories and typologies, and to document and describe them through newly taken photographs, plans, and diagrams, treating them as contemporary artifacts. Through the illustration and categorization of thirty-two case studies, The Architecture of Public Space has the ambition to build a general theory on the design of public space; a theory that acts before and independently of language and that is based on the idea that the city is structured through the relationship between architecture and public space. With an essay written by Marco Biraghi, professor of history of contemporary architecture at the Politecnico di Milano.

Towards Territorial Transition presents new spatial strategies, concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational developments in architecture and urban design towards decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related systems and landscapes. They explore potential solutions to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate change, and with the social crisis that may emerge from them. The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition-Territory, Scale, Transition, Resource, Platform, and Uncertainty-and visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at the École nationale supérieure d'architecture Versailles and at Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland / France) and Top Noordrand (Belgium / Netherlands).

Dieses Buch stellt eine aktuelle Auswahl mathematisch-statistischer Methoden und Stichprobenstrategien zum Umgang mit kontinuierlichen Messgrößen in Raum und Zeit dar. Es unterstützt beispielsweise bei der Erfassung, Darstellung, Beurteilung und statistischen Auswertung von Messsignalen sowie bei der Entwicklung und Ausgestaltung von statistischen Analyseverfahren und geeigneten Stichprobenplänen.Die Buchinhalte sind insbesondere zur Anwendung in den Natur- und Umweltwissenschaften geeignet, da dort kontinuierliche Messgrößen in Raum und Zeit besonders häufig auftreten, die damit verbundenen kontinuierlichen Prozesse aber meist nur stichprobenhaft an einigen Stellen bzw. Zeitpunkten beobachtet werden können und zudem oftmals mit Fehlern behaftet sind. Spezielle Kapitel (z.B. Komponentenmodelle) sind auch für Wirtschafts- und Finanzwissenschaftler (Chartanalyse) von Interesse.

"A cultural, architectural, and historical guide to twenty walks around and through New York, led by the NYT chief architecture critic during the height of COVID-19. As New York came to a standstill in March of 2020, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, engineers, and city planners, and invited them to take him on a walk. As the chief architecture critic for the New York Times, he was no stranger to the city. But during a time of uncertainty and confusion-where being outside seemed safer than staying inside-he hoped that these strolls around town, led by a group of people who could offer innovative ways of thinking about the city, might function as a public good. They would provide distraction, consolation, and joy, not only for himself, but for his readers. This series, which began with a walk down 42nd Street amidst the darkened theaters of Broadway, quickly took on much larger meaning, at a moment when the news and social media were conjecturing about the death of cities. The walks and the accompanying interviews between Michael and his guides together became not only a testament to the city, but a declaration of New York City's resiliency. Interspersed with over one hundred stunning photographs, all taken while the city was shut down, The Walks bears witness to the city's unyielding beauty and inspiration, even in the midst of great trauma. Each route is thoughtfully conveyed for the native New Yorker and visitor alike, guided not only by avenues but the windowed facades of skyscrapers, cornices of townhomes, and the public art to be found throughout the city. Honoring the Mannahattan of the past, when rivers, flora, and fauna covered the island, and through the engineering breakthroughs, design trends, economic booms and busts, waves of immigration, and the weathering of time, here is both a thoughtful and kaleidoscopic portrait of New York City itself, and a promise-to the millions who call it home-that it will endure"--

Kurstädte standen lange im Schatten der Stadtgeschichtsforschung: zu klein, zu idyllisch und in ihrer Bedeutsamkeit oszillierend. Eine vergleichende Perspektive auf Kurstädte enthüllt rasch, dass sie äußerst vielschichtige, ja sogar widersprüchliche Orte des entstehenden Tourismus waren. Kurstädte siedelten sich im Spannungsfeld von ländlicher Idylle und städtischer Moderne bzw. von Entsagung und Überfluss an: Kneippkuren standen neben rauschenden Theaterabenden, reiche Industrielle neben Armenbadbesuchern. Dieser Stadttypus galt als Experimentierfeld der urbanen Moderne, wo man bald zentralisierte Schlachthöfe, Fotografen und Telegrafen antraf. Kurstädte waren auch Orte der politischen Auseinandersetzung, des entstehenden Rassismus und der Fremdenfeindlichkeit.

How do our cities evolve, what forces drive their evolution, and how exactly do they change as a result? Zurich-based architecture firm EM2N has been working on urban transformation processes ever since its establishment in 1997. Initially, the firm's main focus was on the greater Zurich area, yet in recent years they have also developed and realized projects in Berlin, Brussels, and Hamburg. Over time, a diverse body of work has grown, more than half of which consists of conversions of existing buildings, resulting in numerous successes and a few failures, small structures and large-scale complexes, quick decisions and slow processes. What unites the designs, projects, and texts featured in this first monograph on EM2N is a profound interest in the concept of the city as an exciting, contradictory, and above all productive space of human life that the founding partners Mathias Müller and Daniel Niggli have maintained throughout their twenty-five years of collaboration. In EM2N-City Factory they offer a self-critical review of their achievements and also speak about learning processes, personal interests, and conceptual approaches to future tasks in ever-changing cities. This is supplemented with contributions from fellow architects and friends as well as with a wealth of photographs, plans, drawings, and other illustrations.

In Looking for the Voids, Hong Kong-based Swiss architect Géraldine Borio presents findings from more than fifteen years of experimental urban research in Asia. Her research focuses on the interstitial spaces of the built environment, the back and in-between alleys and other territorial buffer zones that are in constant flux and move between the poles of inside-outside, public-private, as well as legal-illegal. The concrete design principles derived from analyzing urban typologies in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Seoul, and from engaging with residents and their informal appropriation of such semi-private urban spaces, can offer useful tools to architects and urban designers alike.

The mind's eye as a design principle Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) outlined his theory of the "smallest possible intervention" back in the early 1980s. The idea of minimal intervention runs through his entire oeuvre, from his critique of urbanism to the science of walking. The "smallest possible intervention" denotes a planning theory that assumes two "views" within landscape design: that which is actually visible and that in our mind's eye. The theory of the minimal intervention means not interfering excessively with the existing landscape, but instead working with the landscape in our minds to develop an aesthetic understanding of the environment. In this book, available for the first time in English, the Swiss sociologist applies this formula to many areas of design. Intellectual distillation of Lucius Burckhardt's theories available for the first time in English Exploration of the relationships between planning and building Rationalization and needs

Urbanität wird dabei als ein nicht zuletzt sprachlich konstituiertes System von spezifisch aufeinander bezogenen Dimensionen, Aktionen und Repräsentationen verstanden. Im Zentrum steht die Erörterung tradierter und innovativer Ansätze, Methodologien und Theorien der Urban Linguistics unter Berücksichtigung interdisziplinärer Schnittstellen. Der Band vermittelt Grundlagenwissen zu einem zentralen Forschungsfeld interdisziplinär interessierter Linguistik.

Der Olympiapark in München zählt zu seinen bekanntesten Projekten, sein gesamtes Werk ist richtungsweisend und zeitlos: Der Landschaftsarchitekt Günther Grzimek (1915 - 1996) engagierte sich für eine neue Form des städtischen Grüns in Deutschland, nämlich eines "demokratischen Grüns". Zugleich setzte er sich für eine praxisorientierte Ausbildung in der Landschaftsarchitektur ein.Grzimeks Biografie ist Quelle zahlreicher Entdeckungen, führt durch die bundesdeutsche Geschichte, ebenso wie durch seine "Collaborationen" mit namhaften Architekten, Stadtplanern und Designern, darunter Otl Aicher, der den grundlegenden Entwurf für diese Publikation zusammen mit Grzimek in den 1980er-Jahren entwickelte. Mit Plänen, Bildern, Texten und Originalzitaten eröffnet der Band einen neuen Blick auf diesen herausragenden Lehrmeister und beleuchtet die bewegte Geschichte der Landschaftsarchitektur in Deutschland von den 1930er-Jahren in Berlin bis in die 1990er in München.

In diesem Buch lernen Sie die Vielfalt der Wechselwirkungen von Zufallsvariablen und unterschiedliche Ansätze ihrer theoretischen Beschreibung kennen. Im Fokus der Betrachtungen steht der Einsatz von Copulas; Sie lernen gezielt mit diesen zu operieren. Sie erfahren zunächst anhand umfangreicher Resultate und zahlreicher Beispiele, welche Ausprägungen von Abhängigkeitsstrukturen mit welchen Eigenschaften von Copulas korrespondieren. Anschließend lernen Sie ausgewählte Anwendungen der zuvor bereitgestellten Erkenntnisse kennen, die meist aus der Versicherungstechnik stammen. Sie erhalten beispielsweise einen Einblick in die speziellen Abhängigkeitsstrukturen in den Modellen der Erfahrungstarifierung. Eine Besonderheit stellt der Umgang mit Summen abhängiger Zufallsvariablen dar: Sie erfahren, wie auch ohne Vorliegen der häufigen Annahme der Unabhängigkeit die Verteilung der Summen bestimmt werden kann. Die Anwendungen und Untersuchungen werden zumeist durch Simulationen und Punktwolken illustriert.
