Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. This poetic and minimalist anthology presents 10 years of heritage of AIRES MATEUS design studios at the Accademia di Archittettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland. 100 images of largescale models built by students of AIRES MATEUS are brought together to create a family portrait. Each expertly staged model is pictured with the essential schemes necessary to understand the volumes portrayed. Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus' many years of experience in pedagogy and the use of models in practice are brought together in a manifesto which precedes the anthology of images. The importance of the model in the formation of architectural ideas and throughout the design process, as well as its potency as a standalone statement are highlighted. The evocative photographs in this book reveal abstract spaces produced by artistic interpretations of light, volume and materiality. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Venice is in danger of sinking, many cities around the world are facing earthquakes, and the gap between poverty and wealth is becoming increasingly visible in many cities. Today, humanity faces monumental challenges that demand a complete transformation of our living spaces.Cities Under Pressure presents a new approach to design - a flexible system that aims to establish a dynamic balance, constantly adapting to change. This innovative concept imagines new urban environments that move away from rigid design principles and instead embrace evolving mechanisms. These mechanisms support a sustainable transition, ensuring a resilient and peaceful future for our cities. 224 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Constant change is what marks the history of the European city. Over centuries, architecture's reactions to social disruptions-natural disaster, plague, or war-have fashioned the city into an engine of civilization. And bound up with this has been the promise of economic independence, social cohesion, and individual freedom.Now fundamental challenges, such as climate change, are bringing cities face to face with new transformations that call into question the continuity and sustainability of the ethical foundations underpinning urban ways of life. Bold and decisive steps are needed.How far can urban planning, landscape planning, and architecture foster the vital processes of change How can the city offset possible losses caused by altered lifestyles, integrate new technologies, or rehearse new forms of behaviour and ultimately sublimate them into a functioning culture In this volume, the members of the Architecture Section of the Akademie der Künste Berlin and their invited guests from all over Europe introduce their positions by means of projects, visions, and manifestos. Essays by selected authors with different viewpoints supplement the practical discourse.Published by Tim Rieniets, Matthias Sauerbruch, and Jörn Walter on behalf of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin.With a photoessay by Erik-Jan Ouwerkerk.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book presents Rahul Mehrotra's writings over the last thirty years and illustrates his long-term engagement with and analysis of urbanism in India. This work has given rise to a new conceptualization of the city. Mehrotra calls it the Kinetic City, which is the counterpoint to the Static City, as familiar to most of us from conventional city maps. He argues that the city should instead be perceived, read, and mapped in terms of patterns of occupation and associative values attributed to space. The framework is established in this publication by Rahul Mehrotra's anchor essay, which draws out its potential to 'allow a better understanding of the blurred lines of contemporary urbanism and the changing roles of people and spaces in urban society.'The emerging urban Indian condition, of which the Kinetic City is symbolic, is examined in this publication through a selection of writings curated by Mehrotra, which led to and then subsequently built on this framework. The theory is reinforced by different perspectives that Rahul Mehrotra brings to bear on discourse, and on the profession of architects and urban designers, thanks to his career as an architect, urban designer, conservationist, educator, and advocate for the city. From essays such as 'Evolution, Involution and the City's Future: A Perspective on Bombay's Urban Form' to more generally applicable ruminations such as 'Our Home in the World,' this book offers an in-depth look at the last thirty years of reflection and theorizing behind Mehrotra's work.The publication is divided into three parts. The anchor essay, 'Negotiating the Static and Kinetic Cities,' and other contributions (twenty-one in total) make up the main section. A second book within the book is dedicated to an expansive complimentary photo essay by the photographer Rajesh Vora, illustrating the key themes transaction, instability, spectacle, and habitation. The last section presents an illustrated bibliography of Rahul Mehrotra's wide range of research and writings. 352 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Homelessness-the state of having no home-is a growing global problem that requires local discussions and solutions. In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, it has noticeably become a collective concern. However, in recent years, the official political discourse in many countries around the world implies that poverty is a personal fault, and that if people experience homelessness, it is because they have not tried hard enough to secure shelter and livelihood. Although architecture alone cannot solve the problem of homelessness, the question arises: What and which roles can it play Or, to be more precise, how can architecture collaborate with other disciplines in developing ways to permanently house those who do not have a home Who's Next Homelessness, Architecture, and Cities seeks to explore and understand a reality that involves the expertise of national, regional, and city agencies, nongovernmental organizations, health-care fields, and academic disciplines. Through scholarly essays, interviews, analyses of architectural case studies, and research on the historical and current situation in Los Angeles, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, São Paulo, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Tokyo, this book unfolds different entry points toward understanding homelessness and some of the many related problems. The book is a polyphonic attempt to break down this topic into as many parts as needed, so that the specificities and complexities of one of the most urgent crises of our time rise to the fore. 272 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For over three decades, the firm Toshiko Mori Architects has been dedicated to designing ecological, technologically innovative architecture at the forefront of 'the social turn in architecture', as Andres Lepik calls it in the foreword. When the firm's founder Toshiko Mori, a New York local with Japanese roots, joined the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD), she became the first female faculty member. Later she sat as Chair of the Department from 2002 to 2008. Many of her architectural projects have received international acclaim, as has she herself, with awards such as the Architectural Record's 2019 Women in Architecture Award for a design leader, and the AIA/ACSA's Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education - the highest distinction for teaching in the field. The focus of Toshiko Mori Architect Observations is on observations as the foremost, indispensable method in the developmental process of architectural projects. TMA projects are geared toward creating infrastructure for the development of society. The wide sense in which the word infrastructure is used in the book gives an impression of the conceptual nature of Toshiko Mori's work. In the eight chapters of this publication, projects are introduced which foremost consider social and ecological demands such as community building. Backed by thorough research and engaged with architectural tradition while also questioning industry norms, the projects remain on the cutting edge of the architectural profession. They include a think-thank called VisionArc which Mori founded together with Landon Brown, the award winning Thread and Fass School and Teachers' Residence in Senegal and several curatorial works at the MoMA and Smithsonian museums. The vast variety of projects featured in the publication illustrates Mori's philosophy that there is no universal design solution for every problem, which makes each of her architectural engagements unique.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Die Geschichte der europäischen Stadt ist durch ständigen Wandel geprägt. Bauliche Reaktionen auf gesellschaftliche Brüche, verursacht durch Naturkatastrophen, Seuchen oder Kriege, haben die Stadt in Europa durch die Jahrhunderte zum Zivilisationsmotor entwickelt. Damit einher ging das Versprechen von wirtschaftlicher Unabhängigkeit, sozialem Zusammenhalt und individueller Freiheit.Fundamentale Herausforderungen wie der Klimawandel konfrontieren Städte heute mit Veränderungen, die die Kontinuität und Nachhaltigkeit der ethischen Grundlagen städtischer Lebensformen in Frage stellen. Mutige und entschlossene Schritte sind erforderlich.Inwieweit können Maßnahmen des Städtebaus, der Landschaftsplanung und der Architektur die notwendigen Veränderungsprozesse befördern Wie können in der Stadt etwaige mit der Umstellung von Lebensstilen verbundene Verluste kompensiert, neue Technologien integriert, neue Verhaltensformen eingeübt und letztlich zu einer funktionierenden Kultur sublimiert werden Die Mitglieder der Sektion Baukunst der Akademie der Künste, Berlin und ihre eingeladenen Gäste aus ganz Europa stellen anhand von Projekten, Visionen und Manifesten ihre Positionen vor. Essays ausgewählter Autorinnen und Autoren ergänzen den praktischen Diskurs aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln.Herausgegeben von Tim Rieniets, Matthias Sauerbruch und Jörn Walter im Auftrag der Akademie der Künste, Berlin.Mit einem Fotoessay von Erik-Jan Ouwerkerk. 224 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Working in Mumbai is a critical reflection on thirty years of the practice of RMA Architects. Rahul Mehrotra weaves a narrative to connect his multiple engagements in architectural practice, including teaching, research, documenting, writing and exhibiting since the establishment of the practice in 1990. The book is structured around the subjects of interior architecture, critical conservation, and work and living spaces that straddle the binaries of the global and the local as well as the rural and the urban. While the book is a portfolio of the selected works of RMA Architects, the projects are curated so as to unravel and clarify the challenges faced by architects in India and in several parts of the 'majority' world where issues related to rapid urbanization and the impacts of global capital are among the many that dispute conventional models of practice. Working in Mumbai is used emblematically to interrogate the notion of context and understand how the practice evolved through its association with the city of Bombay/Mumbai. 352 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Since the firm's founding twenty-five years ago, AKT II have forged an international practice that unifies the cultures and disciplines of architecture and structural engineering. This book is an engine for critical reflection on the scope, potential, and limits of what they have come to define as design engineering.Structured into five discursive domains-scale, variability, attitude, reverse engineering, and the craftsmanship of engineering-the book presents a robust selection of the firm's endeavours, which together demonstrate a vast range of encounters and processes in design. Common among them is a desire to understand and reshape the boundaries of the discipline of structural engineering, along with its links to fields such as philosophy, computer science, and geography. Interlaced with the projects, texts by contributors from varying fields engage the theoretical discussions and social conditions that bind contemporary practice.Matters of Engineering Design: AKT II balances structural concerns that require an equilibrium of internal and external forces, a clear understanding of boundary conditions, and knowledge of the properties of material with the overarching challenges that society faces today, including advances in technology, changing economic orders, and ecological responsibility.With contributions by William Baker, David Basulto, Hanif Kara, Jayne Kelley, Priya Khanchandani, Adrian Lahoud, Lesley Lokko, Ibrahim Mahama, Stephen Parnell, Vicky Richardson, and Ellis Woodman.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Who's Next Obdachlosigkeit, Architektur und die Stadt Obdachlosigkeit - der Zustand, keine feste Wohnung zu haben - ist ein zunehmendes globales Problem, das auf lokaler Ebene diskutiert und gelöst werden muss und das angesichts der Corona-Pandemie zusehends zu einem gesellschaftlichen Anliegen wurde. In vielen Ländern der Welt war der politische Diskurs der letzten Jahre durch die Haltung geprägt, dass Armut ein persönliches Verschulden ist und dass der Grund für Obdachlosigkeit darin liegt, dass sich die betroffenen Menschen nicht stark genug um eine Unterkunft und eine gesicherte Lebensgrundlage bemüht haben. Auch wenn Architektur das Problem der Wohnungslosigkeit nicht alleine lösen kann, stellt sich die Frage, wie und mit welchem Beitrag sie Einfluss nehmen kann. Oder, genauer gesagt: Wie kann Architektur in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Berufsgruppen dazu beitragen, Menschen ohne Obdach eine permanente Unterkunft zu verschaffen Mit Hilfe der Expertise von bundesweiten, regionalen und städtischen Behörden, Nichtregierungsorganisationen, Einrichtungen des Gesundheitswesens und unterschiedlicher akademischer Disziplinen setzt sich Who's Next Obdachlosigkeit, Architektur und die Stadt das Ziel, diesen realen Umstand zu untersuchen und zu verstehen. Wissenschaftliche Aufsätze, Interviews und die Analyse von architektonischen Fallbeispielen sowie Recherchen über historische und aktuelle Entwicklungen in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Moskau, Mumbai, Shanghai und Tokio liefern verschiedene Ansatzpunkte zum Verständnis von Obdachlosigkeit, und die damit einhergehenden vielfältigen Probleme.Dieses Buch ist ein vielschichtiger Ansatz, dieses Thema in so viele Teile wie nötig zu zerlegen, um die Besonderheiten und die Komplexität einer der dringendsten Krisen unserer Zeit in den Fokus zu rücken. 272 pp. Deutsch.
