Описание: Notions of authenticity lie at the heart of many questions about heritage and identity in the built environment. These questions are most pertinent when buildings have been destroyed in disaster or war, and the built fabric is being reconstructed to reinstate traditional or historic appearances in place of what was lost.
Authentic Reconstruction examines this idea of reconstruction, using it as a prompt to examine a range of deeper issues on heritage and the built environment. From post-WWII reconstruction programmes through to the rebuilding of historic cultural landscapes lost in natural disasters, this collection of essays by heritage specialists provides a wide range of case-studies and discussions. Each presents responses to crises and lessons learned, in order to extrapolate general guidelines for future actions by politicians, architects and planners in reconstructing buildings.
The book also looks beyond disaster and war, noting how authenticity bears on political intentions and image building, exploring how reconstruction is used to tell a political or historical story, so conditioning the ways in which the built environment is perceived and appreciated by its users. This is not just about the buildings as bricks and mortar, but about perceptions of identity and the social and historical values which buildings and spaces embody for a richly diverse population.
This book will be valuable to all who are concerned with heritage as practitioners or consumers, particularly those concerned with reconstruction and the creation of authentic places and experiences: architects, architectural historians, town planners, preservationists, conservationists, and those involved in heritage management and material culture.

Описание: Transporting readers from derelict homesteads to imperiled harbors, postindustrial ruins to Cold War test sites, Curated Decay presents an unparalleled provocation to conventional thinking on the conservation of cultural heritage. Caitlin DeSilvey proposes rethinking the care of certain vulnerable sites in terms of ecology and entropy, and explains how we must adopt an ethical stance that allows us to collaborate with—rather than defend against—natural processes. Curated Decay chronicles DeSilvey\u2019s travels to places where experiments in curated ruination and creative collapse are under way, or under consideration. It uses case studies from the United States, Europe, and elsewhere to explore how objects and structures produce meaning not only in their preservation and persistence, but also in their decay and disintegration. Through accessible and engaging discussion of specific places and their stories, it traces how cultural memory is generated in encounters with ephemeral artifacts and architectures. An interdisciplinary reframing of the concept of the ruin that combines historical and philosophical depth with attentive storytelling, Curated Decay represents the first attempt to apply new theories of materiality and ecology to the concerns of critical heritage studies.

Описание: Die Publikation untersucht die Moglichkeiten der raumstrukturellen Aktualisierung der im Bauboom zwischen 1960 und 1970 entstandenen Wohnungsgrundrisse der Nachkriegsmoderne. Die Autoren analysieren bestehende Grundrisstypologien im Kontext der gesellschaftlichen Veranderungen, die die Wohn- und Haushaltsformen inzwischen ma?geblich verandert haben: Inwieweit entsprechen die funktional optimierten Wohneinheiten den Anforderungen der heutigen Gesellschaft und wie anpassungsfahig sind sie fur neue Wohnformen? Kann mit kleinen Eingriffen ein angemessenes Ergebnis erreicht werden? Im Theorieteil werden Thesen zu entwerferischen Strategien und politischen Transformationsprozessen zur Disposition gestellt, deren Bedeutung im Projektteil praxisnah anhand aktueller Beispiele verdeutlicht wird.

Описание: Architektur ist Energie. Architektonische Entwurfe entscheiden oft fur Jahrzehnte und manchmal Jahrhunderte uber den damit verbundenen Energie- und Materialverbrauch. Form Follows Energy analysiert das Verhaltnis zwischen Energiestromen und der Form unserer gebauten Umwelt. Es untersucht die Optimierung der Energieflusse in Architektur und Stadtebau und ermittelt daraus neue Ansatze. Die komplexen Zusammenhange zwischen Architektur und Energie werden in Fallstudien veranschaulicht. Handgezeichnete Diagramme zeigen auf, wie Energieplanungsstrategien genutzt werden konnen, um maximale Energieeffizienz zu erzielen. Der Autor greift in seiner Darstellung auf fast 30 Jahre Praxis, Lehre und Forschung zuruck und stellt ein komplexes Thema fur Architekten und Bauingenieure leicht verstandlich dar.
Описание: Interweaving architecture, philosophy and cultural history, Materials and Meaning in Architecture develops a rich and multi-dimensional exploration of materials and materiality, in an age when architectural practice seems otherwise preoccupied with image and visual representation. Arguing that architecture is primarily experienced by the whole body, rather than chiefly with the eyes, this broad-ranging study shows how the most engaging built works are as tactile as they are sensuous, communicating directly with the bodily senses, especially touch. It explores the theme of ‘material imagination’ and the power of establishing ‘place identity’ in an architect’s work, to consider the enduring expressive possibilities of material use in architecture.The book’s chapters can be dipped into, each individual chapter providing close readings of built works by selected modern masters (Scarpa, Zumthor, Williams and Tsien), insights into key texts and theories (Ruskin, Loos, Bachelard), or short cultural histories of materials (wood, brick, concrete, steel, and glass). And yet, taken together, the chapters build to a powerful book-length argument about how meaning accrues to materials through time, and about the need to reinsert the bodily experience of materiality into architectural design. It is thus also, in part, a manifesto: arguing for architecture to act as a bulwark against the tide of an increasingly depersonalised built environment. With insights for a wide range of readers, ranging from students through to researchers and professional designers, Materials and Meaning in Architecture will cause theorists to rethink their assumptions and designers to see new potential for their projects.

Описание:
Einfamilienhuser werden mehr und mehr unzeitgem. Sie bieten keine Antwort auf den demografischen Wandel, und die Tatsache, dass es immer weniger lebenslange Beziehungen gibt. Fr neue Familienmodelle oder Formen des Zusammenlebens sind sie meist zu unflexibel. Die Publikation stellt Projekte der letzten Jahre aus Japan vor, die auf die Frage nach neuen Wohnformen Antworten geben. Die Architekten entwickeln Lsungen, in denen die Bewohner zusammenleben, ohne sich zu viel Nhe aufzuzwingen. Die vorgestellten Wohnungstypen und ihre Anordnung erlauben vielfltige Lebensmodelle. Besonders spannend ist dabei der Umgang mit den Zwischenrumen, mit denen ein gradueller bergang vom ffentlichen zum privaten Raum mglich wird - eine Art zu bauen, die nach Ansicht von Experten die westliche Wohnarchitektur revolutionieren knnte. Die Publikation veranschaulicht diese neuen Formen des Bauens und Wohnens an herausragenden japanischen Beispielen, unter anderem von Shigeru Ban, Sou Foujimoto oder Akihisa Hirata.
