Neuware -Die Europäische Union (EU) stellt ein einzigartiges Experiment gemeinsamen Handelns dar. Diese Publikation befasst sich mit diesem Prozess aus dem Blickwinkel der Architektur, einer Disziplin, die im Laufe der Geschichte stets enge Verbindungen zur Macht hatte. Durch die Untersuchung einiger bedeutender, seit den 1950er-Jahren durch die EU entwickelter Architekturprojekte geht das Buch einer bislang unerforschten Frage nach: Weshalb fällt es der EU so schwer, sich mit Architektur auseinanderzusetzen In dieser Publikation wird eine Theorie zu einer Form von Zurückhaltung gegenüber Architektur in der EU aufgestellt und die dafür maßgeblichen Gründe identifiziert, wobei die Spannungen zwischen national und supranational, die historische Verbindung zwischen Architektur und Staat, der Mangel an akzeptablen Vorstellungen von Europa, die funktionalistische Kultur der europäischen Institutionen, aber auch die rechtlichen Beschränkungen, die ihr Handeln in der bebauten Umwelt einschränken, thematisiert werden. - Erste Publikation zur Architektur der EU-Institutionen - Interdisziplinäre PublikationDe Gruyter GmbH, Genthiner Straße 13, 10785 Berlin 160 pp. Englisch.…

The EU is a unique experiment in shared governance. This book addresses this process from the prism of architecture, a discipline that has had close ties with power throughout history. By examining several substantial architectural productions developed by the EU since the 1950s, this book asks a question that has so far been unexplored: why is it so difficult for the EU to engage with architecture? This book theorizes a form of reluctance towards architecture and identifies its underlying causes, addressing the tension between the national and the supranational, the historical bond between architecture and the state, the shortage of acceptable images of Europe, the functionalist culture of the European institutions, as well as the legal constraints that have limited their operations in the built environment.
-
First book on the architecture of the EU institutions
-
Most comprehensive explanation of why the EU is reluctant to engage with architecture
-
Interdisciplinary book which is of interest to scholars of architecture and European studies alike
