Nr. 5 Blaues Haus Oberwil bei Basel Projekt 1979 Ausführung 1979/80

No. 5 Blue House Oberwil near Basel Project 1979 Realization 1979/80

Für die Einfamilienhauszone in einer Siedlung hatte die Gemeinde Oberwil bei Basel sehr detaillierte Bauvorschriften erlassen. Das Ergebnis war eine kleinteilige und im Ausdruck beliebige Bebauung. Dieser Beziehungslosigkeit der Häuser setzten Herzog & de Meuron mit ihrem Entwurf für das «blaue Haus» eine verdichtete Form entgegen, die sich ganz auf die eigene Topografie der Hanglage und der Straßenkehre bezog und beinahe Objektcharakter gewann.

Dazu benutzten die Architekten die Bauvorschriften als Kontrastfolie. Das Haus wurde als schmaler Längsriegel konzipiert, der quer zum Hang und so weit wie möglich an den Rand der Parzelle gerückt ist. Die Abtreppung und Zerstückelung des Volumens, die die Bauvorschriften bei einem Gefälle von mehr als zwei Metern eigentlich erfordert hätten, wurde durch eine Abtragung des Hangs und eine Aufschüttung des unmittelbaren Bauplatzes umgangen. Dadurch behielt nicht nur der hintere Nachbar freie Sicht aufs Tal, die gesamte Parzelle wurde zugleich räumlich energisch gestaltet: Für Zufahrt, Haus und einen Sitzplatz entstand ein von einem Mauerwinkel umfaßter Raum, wie er später beim Haus in Therwil zu einem zentralen Gestaltungselement wurde. Und der Großteil des Grundstücks blieb als Garten erhalten.

Das Oberwiler Haus selbst weist das vorgeschriebene Giebeldach aus anthrazitfarbenem Welleternit auf, aber die rektanguläre Norm ist auf mehrfache Weise gebrochen: Zwei kreisrunde Fensterelemente gehören zwar zum Vokabular der Symmetrie, sie wurden auf der straßenseitigen Giebelseite aber leicht aus der Firstachse gerückt. Die nördliche Hauswand ist nach vorne zu um 90 Zentimeter nach innen gekrümmt, so daß das Dach auf dieser Seite viel weiter übersteht und die vordere Hauskante verzahnt ist wie ein Reißverschluß oder eine aufgerissene Wunde.

Das Haus ist eine Art Lebewesen: Die Rundfenster an den Stirnseiten wurden durch Tatis Film «Mon oncle» angeregt, in dem sich ein Mann und eine Frau in zwei Rundfenstern wie die Pupillen in zwei Augen bewegen und so den Eindruck erwecken, das Haus würde schielen. Ähnliche organische Anklänge finden sich auch in den Entwürfen für ein Hallenbad und für ein Zoorestaurant.

The community of Oberwil near Basel had issued highly detailed building regulations for the subdivision of singlefamily homes. The result was an expansion that arbitrarily developed section by section. This lack of reference between the houses was countered by Herzog & de Meuron with the condensed form of their design for the Blue House, which referred completely to the topography of the slope and the turn of the street and almost achieved the character of an object.

The architects used the building regulations as a contrasting foil. The house was designed as a narrow longitudinal band situated crosswise to the slope and as close to the edge of the property as possible. The stepping and dissection of the volume – as required by the zoning regulations in the case of slopes exceeding two meters – were avoided by leveling off the slope and filling up the immediate building site.

Not only did the neighbor in the back retain an open view of the valley, but the entire parcel was at the same time energetically designed with respect to the space itself. For the driveway, the house, and a sitting area, a space was created within the right angle of the retaining wall. Later on, this kind of wall-embraced space became a central design element for the house in Therwil. And the majority of the property was kept intact for a garden.

The Oberwil house itself has the required gable roof made of anthracitecolored corrugated Eternit panels.

However, the rectangular form is broken up in several ways: two round windows are perhaps part of the vocabulary of the symmetry, but they have been placed off-center with relation to the ridge axis on the gable end facing the street. The north wall of the house is curved to the inside by 90 centimeters, which allows the roof to overhang much further on this side and gives the corner of the house the appearance of a zipper or a laceration.

The house is a kind of life-form: the round windows on the gable end were inspired by Tati’s movie My Uncle, where a man and a woman move behind two round windows like the pupils of two eyes and create a crosseyed appearance. Similar allusions can be found in the designs for an indoor pool and a zoo restaurant.

Zugleich ist das Oberwiler Haus aber auch struktural aufgefaßt, ähnlich wie die Hauszerschneidungen Gordon Matta Clarks oder wie der SUVA-Bau in Basel, für dessen Umgestaltung Herzog & de Meuron eine Ecke abgeschnitten haben: Die U-förmige Mauerschale bildet gegenüber der Umgebung eine monolithische Form, die zur Südseite des Gartens hin aufgeschnitten wurde.

Weisen die drei kompakten Wände nur kleine, tiefsitzende Fensteröffnungen auf, die dem Bau Festungscharakter geben, so fehlt die südliche Wand ganz.

Die stockwerkhohe Fensterfront im Erdgeschoß ist außen fassadenbündig angeschlagen, die Verkleidungen der Türund Fensterelemente zur Loggia im Obergeschoß sind aus Sperrholz wie viele Einbauten im Innern des Hauses.

Die Grenze zwischen außen und innen gerät in Bewegung. Die Glasfront ist eher Membran als abschließende Wand.

Darin ist sie der blauen Farbe verwandt, mit der das Kalksandstein-Mauerwerk außen wie mit einer Haut überzogen ist. Ihr transparenter, lasurartiger Schimmer erzeugt einen eigenen Farbraum, der auf die Witterungsverhältnisse reagiert und selbst bei blauem Himmel eine Yves Kleinsche Leichtigkeit und Immaterialität suggeriert, die das Haus wie ein künstliches Objekt von den erdenschweren Braun-, Beige- und Rottönen der Umgebung abheben, als könnte es himmelwärts entschweben. Die Farbhaut löst denn auch das Haus visuell aus der eigenen Verankerung im Boden: Der Betonsockel blieb ungestrichen, die Eingangstüre ist so hoch gelegt, daß sie nur über eine Treppe erreichbar ist.

Die körperhafte Auffassung des Hauses als ganzes Volumen erlaubte Großzügigkeit bei seiner inneren Erschließung.

Die einzelnen Geschoße sind als Einheiten angelegt, die lediglich durch Einbauten und Türen aus gelb oder blau gestrichenem Sperrholz unterteilt beziehungsweise im Erdgeschoß durch eine Abtreppung rhythmisiert sind. Das blaue Haus ist der erste selbständig entwickelte und ausgeführte Neubau von Herzog & de Meuron, sein Innenausbau wurde vom Cheminée bis zur Dusche völlig kontrolliert. Im Rückblick lassen sich an diesem kleinen Haus Anknüpfungspunkte erkennen für die malerische Verwendung der Bruchsteinfassaden des Hauses von Tavole, des Theaterentwurfes für Visp und, in allerjüngster Zeit, in der Dominus Winery im kalifornischen Napa-Valley.

At the same time, the Oberwil house is understood structurally in a way similar to that of the house “dissections” of Gordon Matta Clark, or the SUVAbuilding in Basel, which Herzog & de Meuron designed with a corner cut off.

With reference to the environment, the U-shaped masonry shell creates a monolithic form cut open towards the south side of the garden. Whereas the three compact walls only show small and deep window openings that lend a fortified character to the building, the wall on the south side is virtually nonexistent. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor are flush with the facade on the outside; the casings of the door and window elements towards the loggia on the upper floor are made of plywood, as are many installations inside the house. The border between inside and outside is furtive; it moves.

The glass front is more like a membrane than a terminating wall.

In this, it is related to the color blue, which covers the concrete brick masonry work on the outside with a thin layer. Its transparent, glaze-like shine creates a color-field that reacts to weather conditions and suggests a lightness and immateriality à la Yves Klein even on days when the sky itself is a deep blue. They differentiate the house, an artificial object, from the earthy, heavy brown, beige and red shades in the vicinity, giving the impression that it could float off towards the sky. The tinted skin also detaches the house visually from its anchoring in the ground: the concrete base remains unpainted; the entrance door is at such a height that it can be accessed only via a staircase.

The physical understanding of the house as a volume allowed for a generous development on the inside. The separate levels are designed as a unified whole, structured only through installations and through the yellow or blue plywood doors, or, on the first floor, receive a rhythmical treatment through different floor heights. The Blue House is the first independently developed and realized new building

by Herzog & de Meuron. Its interior design was controlled throughout, from the chimney to the shower. In retrospect, we can recognize in this small house starting points for the painterly use of the broken stone facades of the Tavole house, the theatre design for Visp and, most recently, the Dominus Winery in California’s Napa Valley.

Albert Kahn is probably the most ­important industrial architect of the 20th century. With his factory for ­the Ford T models, designed for mass ­production, he found himself at the beginning of modern industrial architecture. His industrial buildings inspired the architects of European Modernism. They were the examples by which the structural rationality

­ f Kahn’s industrial developments o ­became the guiding principle for the New Building movement up until ­today.

The unrivalled monograph with its ­numerous photographs, plan layouts, site plans, and virtual 3D models ­comprehensively documents the buildings of Albert Kahn, which he ­was able to construct in a very short

time due to his system-based working method – in the USA but also in the ­Soviet Union, Brazil, Sweden, France, China, Japan, and Australia.

! On the occasion of the Bauhaus anniversary: the architectural work of the founder

! With around 60 standardized new plans drawn by the author

As founder of the Bauhaus school, Walter Gropius (1883–1969) is one of the icons of 20th century architecture.

While his early buildings in Pomerania were still strongly marked by his teacher Peter Behrens, after an ­expressionistic phase focused on handicraft, he ultimately arrived at geometric abstraction. During the ­entire period he collaborated with

­ ther architects, founding the o ­collective known as “The Architects Colla­borative” in the US. The comprehensive monograph­ ­documents all 74 of the known buildings by Gropius that were realized, ­including many early works which ­ he never publicized; but it also ­critically examines his unbuilt projects.

The book is illustrated with new

­ hotographs by the author, historical p ­illustrations, and with new plans drawn by the author.

Carsten Krohn studied architecture, art history ­and urbanism, and is the author of ­numerous publications.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton by ­Frank O. Gehry rises from the Bois de ­Boulogne as a new landmark in the Parisian skyline. Gehry’s dynamic architecture is both glittering and ­multifaceted: is it a sailing vessel, an iceberg, or a sea monster? It fascinates with its wealth of references and, at the same time, escapes any clear-cut definition. Three outstand­ ing representatives of different ­generations ­of art history, James S.­ Ackerman, ­Irving Lavin, and Horst ­Bredekamp have together paid a visit

to the ­Fondation Louis Vuitton. ­They explore ­­the building in three richly illustrated essays that try ­to fathom the floating ­architecture of the ­“magician” ­Gehry in the context ­of both ­art and architectural history.

The extensive oeuvre of the architect Karl Schwanzer (1918–1975) is characterized by a near inexhaustible ­inventiveness as well as a love of the crafts and carefully selected materials.

What remains of his work? What ­has disappeared? How does the fabric of buildings change over time?

Stefan Oláh has taken up the trail in search of the architect’s work. As architectural photographer he captures current details of buildings – many years after their construction: close-ups serve to illustrate the architect’s design approach. The preci-

sion of ­the large color photographs corresponds to Schwanzer’s clever designs. The book is intended as a visual ­commentary on his creative designs, which include buildings and furniture.

! A radical life as a classic ­ graphic novel ! Karl Schwanzer: entrepreneur, architect and teacher Projects: BMW-building,­­ Philips-Haus, 20er Haus, Austrian embassy in Brasilia and many more

It is impossible to imagine Austrian ­architecture and contemporary history without Karl Schwanzer, who would have marked his hundredth birthday in 2018. His buildings, like the BMW administration building in Munich, caused quite a furor domestically and abroad; his institute at the Technical University of Vienna influenced offices like Coop Himmelb(l)au, Haus-­Rucker-­

Co, ­Missing Link and ZÜND-UP. Posthumously, Schwanzer rose to cult status among his staff, students and clients, conferred especially for his passionate way of working, sparing no effort or expense, and for his relentless search for the optimum solution. In­ ­every sense, his life and work were ­unconventional. The idea to relate them in the form of a graphic novel is

also quite unconventional, but ­certainly ­a logical consequence!

The 20th anniversary of the Vienna ­architecture office querkraft is being marked by the publication of a first monograph about its work to date. ­It features unconventional and poetic buildings and designs, underlain by critical questioning tasks and a pragmatism that does not contradict ­ bold solutions.

In addition to documenting querkraft’s

most important works, the book is full of anecdotes about its office history.

The architects are unusually open, not only revealing the secrets behind ­ two decades of friendly collaboration in their collective practice, but also granting insight into the professional reality of working as an architect. querkraft’s current works include the first car-free Ikea furniture store in

Vienna, a residential complex in Paris, and the Museum für Konkrete Kunst in Ingolstadt.

How can architecture exist as an art form in an increasingly techno­ cratic world? How can architects ­convert their designs into cost-­ efficient and economic buildings?

In eight uncompromising projects, Gert Wingårdh presents his personal answers. The range of projects ­starts with simple tasks, such as a water tower and a bus stop. These are contrasted by the artistically designed Aula Medica of the Karolinska Institutet and the Naturum museum and ­visitor center in Gällivare in the north of Sweden, the renovation of the

­ ational Museum and the extension N ­to the Liljevalchs Konsthall.

An afterword by Mårten Castenfors, Director of Liljevalchs Konsthall, rounds off the personal comments by the architect on his projects, which are illustrated in great detail with hand sketches, photographs and drawings.

Based on their many years of experience, professors Inès Lamunière and Laurent Stalder come together in five meetings to search ­for answers. They describe an approach to architecture that is based ­on intellect as well as intuition and is both strict and pragmatic. And they sketch out creative processes that are indispensable in the development ­of projects with all their constraints in ­order to master the future challenges faced by the art of building.

In the context of tight budgets, complex geometries, high energy efficiency, and tight completion schedules, the requirements for technical details and their execution in modern buildings are very exacting. MCCS ­presents successfully implemented contemporary avant-garde projects or buildings under construction – all designed by internationally renowned architects’ practices, including Zaha Hadid ­Architects, Jean Nouvel, and Kohn Pederson Fox. The book compares the ­facade technology used in complex projects and

illustrates how the facades interact with the loadbearing structure and services installations. It offers insights into the design process, presenting case studies of unusual buildings. ­The material is systematically presented so that the different technical solutions can be compared.

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the design of the human environment. The analysis of ­biological constructions can not only lead to astonishing technical solutions but can also inspire the design of ­architecture.

Bionics is a fascinating border area between pure research and practical application: biologists, chemists,

­ hysicists, mineralogists, and paleonp tologists meet up with material ­scientists, engineers, and architects and transfer their knowledge to architecture and construction.

Using numerous practical examples, this richly illustrated introduction traces the process from the understanding of how something functions, to abstraction – for example in com-

puter models – and the construction of initial prototypes, through to fully functional manufacture and production.

! The most important trends for a host of new material developments in the fields of architecture and design

! By the author of the successful books Material Revolution 1 and Material Revolution 2

New materials and technologies play ­a significant role in architecture and design. Environmentally compatible materials and production methods are demanded just as much as smoothly functioning recycling management. In addition, trends like digitalization, 3D printing and intelligent systems and materials have a decisive influence on material innovations.

The book’s eight chapters span a bridge from science and industrial ­research to applications in architecture and design. In a compact format, it ­offers a well-grounded overview of the latest material innovations, including edible packaging, liquid light and i­ntelligent natural materials. At the same time, the societal dimension of such developments

is taken into consideration.

The ongoing introduction of digital design tools in the architectural ­professional practice does not only ­influence the architectural design product, but equally affects the ­underlying design process. A digital design process taking full advantage of the potential of digital design ­tools is ­increasingly different from a paper & pencil based design development ­process.

This publication shows how the digital architectural design tools alter the ­education process of future architects.

The study assumes that the use of

­ igital design and fabrication tools d will require the architecture curriculum to adapt. It concludes by proposing to develop a new Digital Architectural Design Education model which differs significantly from the traditional paper & pencil pedagogical model.

The book tells the story of communal living from about 1850 until today.

Three motives of sharing – the economic, political and social intention – divide the residential objects, which are investigated in a historical analysis and allocated to nine development phases.

The author investigates and compares different forms of housing and the

way they developed from their origins until today; she illustrates how everyday shared living and the degrees of privacy in housing are practiced in ­Europe.

Owing to its comprehensive documentation, the analysis of typo­logies, ­layout plans, and user and ­ex­pert interviews, the book can also be ­considered to be a lexicon or hand-

book on communal living. A detailed overview that is unique in this form.

Since 2014, the Human Cities network has been working on Challenging the City Scale: a pan-European project led

by Cité du design Saint-Étienne and supported by the Creative Europe programme to question the urban scale and investigate co-creation in cities.

The Human Cities partners have carried out urban experimentations in 11 European cities empowering citizens to rethink the spaces in which they live, work and spend their leisure time.

Through conversations with people ­involved, the book examines how bottom-up processes and their design,

tools and instruments generate new ideas to reinvent the city. It offers inspiration and insights to everyone, from practitioners and politicians to designers and active citizens, eager to try out new ways to produce more ­human cities together.

Urban design is architecture. Architecture creates complex spatial situations that are the subject of urban design.

Design uses a repertoire of specific ­architectural means in a creative way in order that cities can be experienced as spatially designed.

The current book describes the repertoire with which architecture and ­design regain an entry to urbanistics.

It pleads for an “architectonic turn” in urbanistics – a demand to finally comprehend the city architecturally: the ­issue is not just about buildings in the city, but about architecture of the city

as a whole, as is clearly expressed in the title of The City as Architecture.

In recent years, a refreshingly unconventional architectural scene – outside the mainstream – has established itself in China. Its representatives, many of whom were trained in the West, are known for their sensitive handling of space, light, and material, and by their engagement with context and their own tradition.

Since Wang Shu, one of the most important representatives of the pro­ fession, won the Pritzker Prize, international professionals have become more aware of China’s new architecture. Twenty fascinating examples of different building typologies – many with social relevance – as well as an ­introductory essay illustrate current

building activities and provide an ­insight into the cultural, political, and technical influences.

By 2020, some 400 Chinese New Towns will have been built, representing an unprecedented urban growth.

While some of these massive developments are still empty today, others have been rather successful. The ­substantial effort on the part of the Chinese government is to absorb up to 250 million people, chiefly migrants from the rural parts of the country.

Unlike in Europe and North America, where new towns grew in accordance to the local industries, these new Chinese cities are mostly built to the point of near completion before

­introducing people.

The interdisciplinary publication, written by architects, planners and ­geographers, explores the new urbanistic phenomenon of the “Chinese New Town”. Especially commissioned ­photographs and maps illustrate many examples of these new settlements.

Architecture has always been engaged in a dialogue with its context, i.e. the city – a relationship often dominated by tension. The architectural avant-garde in particular is commonly understood in its opposition to the existing metropolitan terrain: it positioned the form of the individual building against an – assumed – urban formlessness. The publication explores this dichotomy and analyzes the works of important urbanists, ranging from August Endell, Karl Scheffler, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Reyner Banham to Rem Koolhaas

and Bernard Tschumi. Thus, The Good Metropolis develops a theoretical and historical framework for understanding the complex relationship between architecture and the city.

The positive effects of urban green spaces are well-known, ranging from the promotion of health, support of biodiversity to climate regulation.

However, the practical implementation of urban landscapes is less discussed.

How can we make these spaces ­functional, economically feasible and ­inclusive, especially as cities become more diverse? The publication explores strategies to reconcile the ­various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation.

Indeed, urban landscapes ­have to be restorative, ecological and aestheti-

cally pleasing at the same time. This ­is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.

Some of the highest and widest vault constructions produced in the Middle Ages are located in the Mediterranean area. Outstanding buildings with remarkable vaults and buttressing, such as the Cathedral of Majorca, are evidence of a lively technology ­transfer and contemporary developments.

International experts trace the complex processes of Medieval design and construction. They research structural patterns in the processes involved, analyze building methods, and relate their findings to historic

documents. The approach of combining field research with the study of ­literary sources provides a fresh look at the impressive monuments and sheds new light on technological advances and construction technology of the time.

Fuller lays out an enormous horizon and Nine Chains to the Moon is equivalent to a navigation across the ­world we live in: “What Is a House?”, “Death and Life”, “Longing Crosses the Sea”,“Dollarability”,“We Call it Earth”,“Stomach Rhythms”, “Ephemeralization” – from the microscopic to the

automobile, to the house, to urbanity, to the image of the cosmos in constant movement. The title, said Fuller, is meant to stimulate open thinking: the 1938 world population, one person on the shoulders of another, will reach from the earth to the moon nine times!

City dwellers are direct agents in the making of cities; yet how do they ­actually constitute and sustain the urban and its forms? How do they ­practice the urban and through this practice shape the city-in-the-making that emerges along with them on the backs of their working bodies?

City-Making re-thinks the urban from this perspective of corporeal making and with regard to the cityness that it bears. It delves into the thick of ­life in the periphery of Mexico City, un­covering the everyday actions and ­efforts that practitioners of space

accomplish when building houses, ­creating jobs and putting themselves to work as infrastructure. How are consequential conjunctions, how is access to, and presence in the city actively grown? And what does such thinking the city as a verb, as citying, imply for urban planning?

The field of design / build is rapidly growing in popularity in architectural education. The active engagement of architecture students in the design and construction of real projects is now an important dimension at more than 150 universities worldwide. Yet this emerging field continues to suffer from an insubstantial scholarly foundation, and a lack of common criteria of evaluation. In response, an interdisciplinary five-year initiative brought together numerous universities in North America with the shared aim of developing a consistent, innovative,

scholarly / professional practice model, based on the contributions of the ­humanities, engineering, and community development. Thinking While Doing will set a new standard for this key aspect of education and professional practice.

Fire safety is an important part of building design. It consists of measures to prevent fires from starting, ­facilitate the rescue of individuals in a burning building and help firefighters contain a blaze.

Both statutory provisions and building codes lay down strict fire safety regulations for commercial and residential construction. The main task for architects when it comes to fire safety is to apply the principles and methods of fire prevention at the outset of the design process.

The book explains the general concepts and fundamental issues of fire safety planning beyond the ­particulars of local building regulations.

Kolo Moser was one of the most important universal artists in fin­­desiècle Vienna and is one of the ­leading representatives of Art ­Nouveau. His oeuvre includes painting, graphics, and crafts, as well as designs for fashion, lighting, and furniture, stage decoration, stained glass w ­ indows, book illustrations, and even banknotes.

Blazing a trail for the art of his age, he was a founding member of the Vienna Secession and, together with the architect Josef Hoffmann and the industrialist Fritz Wärndorfer, he established the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903. The objective of this collective of fine artists was to realize the Gesamtkunstwerk or total work of art at the highest caliber of arts and crafts.

Some 400 objects, presented ­systematically and explained with essays, open up a new perspective on his impressive oeuvre.

Design reflects social developments in those issues which are also embraced by design researchers. A key concept for how designers position themselves in the future, according to the editor’s thesis, may well be integrative design.

This term denotes design’s potential for the integrative development of a society, a potential imperatively linked with economic and political positions.

The book Integrative Design collects basic essays on aspects of integrative design, including design after ownership, inclusion, design as an interface with society, the integration of design

and technology, and the political agenda of design. The associated website documents current and ­recently completed research projects that expand on these aspects.

Art and science – both disciplines ­query concepts and theories, explore new contexts, and render abstract ­information tangible. Both are strongly motivated by creativity and the ability to visualize. Looking Glass ­combines the two genres in a playful ­manner: photography and molecular biology.

The book conveys highly complex content in an emotional-esthetic way, and thereby shines a new light on ­pure molecular research: groundbreaking discoveries made at the IMBA and published in prestigious

media ­(Nature, Cell, Science and ­others) are transformed into unique photo gall­er­ies – visualized with applied ­photogra­phy – which imbue the fundamental mechanisms of ­life with stories.

A commitment to preserve the cultural heritage of this world, be it in Nepal, India, China, Myanmar, Thailand or Mongolia, is the mission of the Institute of Conservation. In 2004 Gabriela Krist, her colleagues and students, launched the institute‘s international activities in Nako, 4000m high in the Himalayas, starting a journey that ­continues to this day.

Beyond Borders is the first portrayal to account for not only the professional, but also the personal, human ­aspects of this mission. The richly ­illustrated book accompanies the

members of the team as they take a broader view, expanding their horizons. For the institute’s international conservation work requires not only specialized expertise, but also creativity and flexibility.

The book illustrates that supposedly outmoded, analog practices in ­contemporary photographic and ­cinematic art not only have maximum ­actuality, but also critical potential.

Using the example of artists’ practices that are motivated by the idea of the photographic and / or the cinematic but do not necessarily lead to ­photographs or films, the book shows how, in multiple ways, the display tool – the apparatus – can be explored, taken apart, reflected, modified, and newly arranged. The contributions that have also emerged from cooperative

efforts between artists and scientists focus on the required technical / ­­material processes and demonstrate that knowledge of medial ­difference is also socio-politically ­relevant.

In the context of digital technologies, copying data material is as ubiquitous as it is invisible. “originalcopy” is an ­artistic and scientific research project that illuminates the possibilities of this phenomenon, and opens them up for discussion with its own means – those of the copy.

The project concentrates on the tension between the transience of digital technologies and the way in which these technologies express themselves in an artistic language of design and materials. In so doing, “originalcopy” focuses less on the results of copying

than on the processes that lead to these results.

How can art change society? What aesthetic quality does dialog bring to art? What is the role of autonomy in dialogical art? Dialogical Interventions investigates how dialogical art moves between the poles of social engagement, aesthetic autonomy and social change. Essays by international authors and interviews with socially and politically engaged artists and collectives focus on the relevance of dia­logical and interventionist practices

and their role in mediating new ­forms of knowledge and experience through art, thus opening up new prospects for this exciting arena of activity. ­Between the individual texts, artist ­insertions document social artistic practices on a visual level.

The book presents the entire graphic works of the artist Jan Svenungsson, who has been responsible Graphics and Printmaking at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna since 2011, ­accompanied by a text that seamlessly combines practical information, stories and speculations in an entertaining way. His overarching objective is to critically discuss the meaning of graphic prints in contemporary art, and more specifically: to illuminate the role of single-handedly “making” them – at a time when the conditions for exercising creativity are undergo-

ing rapid change: What are the implications of the tools the artist selects?

What does authenticity mean in ­today’s art? How does the role of the artist change when he makes himself dependent on artificial intelligence?

The book as an imaginary space – space as an infinite book whose pages are to be stripped off: The project Claudia Larcher – Rooms, by the ­Viennese artist born in Bregenz in 1979, unfurls the multilayered spacetime realities generated in her works.

Larcher’s photographs, collages, video animations, (textile) objects and ­installations make spatial boundaries elastic; space continua find themselves stretched into infinity or compressed into an origin, shifted into each other or resampled. In a single act of ­appropriation, images of architecture,

landscapes, nature, and even skin are used like found footage material in ­order to reconceptualize the surfaces and structures of what is real. The book visualizes the works of the artist in numerous image sequences.

Social enactivism is a philosophical theory which, through the analysis of discursive practice, aims at explaining how “high-level” cognitive conditions and processes emerge. The fundamental tenets of this theory are based on enactivist and (neo)pragmatist ­prin­ciples. Therefore, the emphasis is not on the purely linguistic understanding of discourse but on its structural ­interaction with technology, that is created by man himself, in the ­context of which the discursive performance takes place. This perspective addresses not only a blind spot in the

inter­national debate about “situated ­cognition” but also a current problem in the philosophy of mind.

This study, for the first time, system­ atically analyzes the function and meaning of so-called textile pages in book illustration of the tenth and ­eleventh centuries. The ornamented pages of gospels and liturgical books evoke Byzantine and Islamic silk fabrics that serve as conveyors of various theological arguments. The textile ­iconography of the book pages visualizes textile metaphors that relate to core subjects of Christian theology such as incarnation and script as a medium of revelation. In addition, references to Medieval exegesis, liturgy,

and devotion are characteristic of this contemplative instrument of religious culture. In this context, the materiality of the book – through textile ornament as a part of the book body – plays an important role.

Military objects are popular items in literature and the fine arts, and have often been elaborately designed. ­However, the discussion of the artistic aspects of militaria is not only based on the relationship between the real, present artefact and the objects ­represented in the respective medium.

The material properties, handling, and cultural inscriptions of the historic artefacts are often the basis of ­complex artistic redesigns and transformations, which in turn release the potential for the design of military artefacts. Based on an interdisciplinary

approach, the book is devoted to the dichotomous condition of objects of war and their representation in art and literature.

! Highlights the cultural history of the sieve and sieving ! Interdisciplinary approach combining art history, philosophy, anthropology, psychoanalysis and gender studies ! Including an ethnographic Bilderatlas and an artwork by ­Edita Dermontaité

ARTS

The sieve exhibits a wide-ranging ­symbolism that extends across art ­history, philosophy, anthropology, ­psychoanalysis, and gender studies. ­Barbara Baert looks at the sieve from an interdisciplinary perspective and from four different innovative method­ olo­gical angles: as motif and symbol, as technique and as paradigm.

The sieve as motif goes back to ­Roman stories of the Vestal Virgins. In later times, their impermeable sieve, which – according to legend – they used to fetch water from the River ­Tiber, was iconographically transferred to Elisabeth I as a sign of her integrity.

Furthermore, the longue durée life of sieves as symbolic-technical utilitarian

object is investigated: in examples from the Jewish folklore, the Berber culture, and ancient Egypt.

ARTS

! Contributions from international experts

Concepts such as “art collection” and “art cabinet” and “cabinet of curiosities” are strongly embedded in the scholarly discourse of the 19th and 20th centuries. They are based on the assumption that a form-based understanding of art has higher cultural ­value, that collections portray the “taste” and “passion“ of their owners, and that art has no practical use.

These terms were used in order to describe how objects were accumulated under very different cultural conditions long before the 18th century.

This volume makes analogies with contemporary collections, institutions, and forms of knowledge in order to be able to explain the accumulation and presentation of objects since Greek antiquity.

The Nähe auf Distanz project examines the semantic change of photographs and videos in the age of the internet.

The contributions are dedicated to ­examples of selfie protests, images of the Arab Spring, of the Israeli-Pales­ tinian conflict, of the Gezi Park protests, of the Syrian war, and the image ­politics of the “Islamic State.” The project critically analyzes their potential, even across great distances, to exert and emotional and communicative impact, and to trigger political actions. The concept of image reflected here is based on digital

transmission; it is marked by the permanent modifications of images through data transfers and postproduction.

Historical gardens listed as cultural monuments are valuable evidence of our civilization. How can they be ­preserved under changing climatic conditions? On the basis of four ­historical gardens, this project analyzes the natural, cultural and social framework in which the “images” of the ­garden are inscribed. Yet, what courses of action are possible if plants or trees are no longer adapted to the local conditions?

Representatives from the natural and social sciences, the ­humanities, and historical garden conservation present

their first joint ­solution strategies for the preservation of historical ­gardens as complete works of art ­facing climate change.

What are the conceptual correspon­ dences and gaps between theories of nature, ecology, environment, and ­aesthetics? This volume addresses the ecological and aesthetic dimensions of human interaction with geographical, geological, botanical, zoological, astronomical, and climatic formations.

Other than literary ecocriticism which led to heated debates, this book deals with the ecological turn in visual ­studies, a territory of research still in its infancy. Art history is thus engaging in the crucial exchange between ecological and aesthetic studies.

The contributions adopt a historical as well as a transcultural perspective reaching from the earliest known human interaction with the natural environment to the present day.

As is well known, the term naturalism has carried a multitude of meanings.

It generally designates the qualities of an artwork that are considered characteristic of a specific time period or movement, or even defines a stylistic epoch. However, even if considered systematically, meanings of naturalism diverge quite profoundly depending on the context of usage. What is true of all the various tendencies, methods and works is that they strive toward the imitation of nature or a heightened level of reality. This raises the question as to how techniques of pictorial

description and varieties of illusionism produce knowledge. To what extent do instances of objectivity and claims to truth derive from the apparent withdrawal of artistic intervention?

Color makes its way into natural science images as early as the research process. It serves for self-reflection and for communication within the scientific community. However, color does not follow a standard in the natural sciences: its meaning is contingent, even though culturally conditioned. Digital publishing enhances the use of color in scientific publications; at the same time, globalization promotes the idea of universal color ­symbolism. This book investigates the function of color in historical and ­current visualizations for scientific

purposes, its epistemic role as a tool, and its long neglect due to symbolic and gender-specific connotations.

The publication thus closes a research gap in the natural sciences and the humanities.

Images are not neutral conveyors of messages shipped around the globe to achieve globalized spectatorship.

They are powerful forces that elicit very diverse responses and can resist new visual hegemonies of our global world. Bringing together case studies from the field of media, art, politics, religion, anthropology and science, this volume breaks new ground by reflecting on the very power of images beyond their medial exploitation.

The contributions by Hans Belting, Susan Buck-Morss, Georges Didi-­ Huberman, W.J.T. Mitchell, and

Ticio Escobar among others testify that g ­ lobalization does not necessarily equal homogenization, and that images can open up alternative ways of picturing what is to come.

! Antique fashion and classic style around 1800 between Rome an Paris ! A new perspective on Piranesi’s fantastic antiquity

The development or change of styles is usually considered a process directed by people: the artist, the patron, and sometimes the intended audience or public. This book offers a different perspective on style ­formation, taking the presence and agency of artefacts as a starting point. ­Inspired by recent innovative concepts in archaeology and psychology, it

f­ ocuses on the decades around 1800, and reconstructs how the new object scapes that came into being in Rome and Paris, as a result of the massive migration of objects caused by the political upheavals of the period 1789–1815, shaped the formation of Neo-Classicism. The author offers ­explanations of style formation that go beyond traditional artistic or

­ esthetic considerations. The laboraa tory for this investigation is Piranesi’s Museo, the artefacts that were created there, and their biographies.

Bauhaus is a legend, and its ­legacy continues to shape our world in many different ways. To mark its centenary, DETAIL has produced an album in wich 100 architects from all over the

world wish the school a happy birthday. Their short texts, photos and sketches reveal what Bauhaus means to them. The result is a colourful a colourful book of anecdotes, experiences and personal stories that will raise a smile or make you think. Rather than defining what Bauhaus is, the short statements show the extent to which Bauhaus is still relevant today.

The exciting and versatile range of ­activities performed by construction engineers is rarely fully appreciated by the public. Yet as well as being a key industry for the economy, construction is also important for society: Modern life without buildings and infrastructure would be simply inconceivable. With that in mind, this publication presents the engineering profession (and by extension the entire industry) as it really is: Fascinating, creative, diverse and innovative.

Engineers and their innovations are presented in the context of their

s­ ocial, economic and political ­influences. The book combines an ­historical ­perspective with a focus on ­contemporary projects.

! On the diversity of local construction culture in China, its materials and concepts

Many of the hotels and guesthouses featured in this book are in rural areas.

They were built to improve people’s lives there through careful tourism or to create high-quality attractions ­capable of curbing the massive rural exodus. Some of the other buildings aim to upgrade neglected city ­neighbourhoods or to preserve historical building stock by giving it a new, meaningful lease of life.

Life in the city is popular and creating liveable urban space is undoubtedly a priority for planners. Yet what makes a city worth living in? How do we ­define sustainable neighbourhoods that will function properly and ­continue to attract people in the future? What does “Smart City” or “resilience” really mean?

The completely revised, new edition of this publication provides the answers. It addresses the fundamental challenges of urban planning today and offers planners essential knowledge, implementation strategies and

ways toward holistic concept development. Examples of international ­neighbourhood developments clearly show how aspects of sustainable urban planning can be implemented in practice.

Theme of the book is the materiality of architecture in the design process.

When does the idea for the materiality of an architecture arise? What role does the context and its character play? Does the typology have an effect on the material formulation of buildings? What relevance does the function have for the choice of a material? Is the aging ability of materials taken into account in the design? ­ And can light be understood as material? These and other questions characterize the process of designing buildings for craftmans. The models

and drawings of the designs alternate with the contributions by the architects Andreas Bründler, Piero Bruno and Thomas Kröger and are as readable in connection with them as they are independent of what is written.
