Urban design is based on planning and design principles that need to meet functional demands on the one hand, but on the other hand bring the design elements together into a distinctive whole. Although designs are almost always dominated by the spirit of the times, the basic compositional principles are, for the most part, timeless. Designing Cities examines the most important design and presentation principles of urban design, using selected ...

Ludwig Hilberseimer (1885-1967) is regarded as one of the leading theorists of the Neues Bauen movement in pre-War Germany, and of modern, functional urbanism. This set of accomplishments still dominates the public image of the architect, urban planner, teacher and art critic to this day. His development beyond that period has long been neglected. The essays in this collection seek to fill this gap, offering an exciting and wide-ranging new pe...

Ein Blick in das Archiv der ZV lohnt sich daher: die vorliegende Publikation widmet sich diesen Frauen, dokumentiert ihre Namen und stellt ihre Lebenswege und K...

Um 1890 ging mit der Entwicklung von Alpinismus und Tourismus der Bau von Unterkünften für die Liebhaber:innen der Bergwelten Südtirols und seiner Nachbarregionen einher. In entlegenen Hochgebirgslandschaften entstanden Hotels, die sich in den regionalen Kontext einfügten, zugleich aber auch Symbole politischer und wirtschaftlicher Raumbeanspruchung ihrer Erbauer darstellten. Die Architekturproduktion der Berghotels erfolgte auf der Basis inno...

Treatise on digital architecture Hovestadt's treatise strictly follows the model of the famous treatises by Vitruvius (De architectura) and Alberti (De re aedificatoria), based on the supposition that we find ourselves in a comparable situation today. Vitruvius and Alberti expressed the meaning of architecture in their eras: Roman antiquity and the Renaissance. Hovestadt has done the same for the present day, incorporating considerations of ph...

Cast materials become solid, yet they originate as fluid materials that can take on any imaginable form. This simple yet radical paradigm allows for the exploration of volumetric formations through process-oriented casting and experimentation with alternative ways of manufacturing, presenting, and shaping casting molds. Working with hardening bodies fundamentally challenges the notion of formal rigidity, conventional formwork models are recons...

Free thinking, unconstrained by facts The book is based on the thesis that we live in a world of abundance, full of natural riches and cultural artifacts, full of human intellect and powerful technologies. Our thinking, however, is dominated by the opposite, the notion of scarcity. The limits of nature act as an inevitable necessity. In his book, David Schildberger adopts a novel approach to the subject of resources, with the help of intellige...
