Neuware - Trees, Time, Architecture! marks an evolutionary step from shaping objects towards designing processes. The volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and discourse-related perspectives looks at how trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene. It highlights historic examples of growing architecture, such as the living root bridges of the Khasi people in India, the accommodation of trees in urban housing and public spaces, novel approaches to design and construction with living trees, as well as trees as resource for building material. The essays, photographs, memoirs, film reviews, and conversations in this book are supplemented with exemplary architectures, new research perspectives, and current designs. They illustrate dynamic processes in which trees play a key role as constantly changing organisms. They invite a transdisciplinary examination of relationships between people, trees, and architecture, as well as their rethinking and further development in our time of constant change and limited resources.; Trees, Time, Architecture! erkundet die vielen Möglichkeiten, die das Zusammenspiel von Architektur und Bäumen in einer sich ständig verändernden Welt bietet. Das anlässlich einer Ausstellung im Architekturmuseum der TUM in München erscheinende Buch markiert einen entscheidenden Wandel von der Gestaltung von Objekten hin zur Gestaltung von Prozessen. Es versammelt eine Vielzahl von Positionen zur Beziehung zwischen Bäumen, Architektur, städtischen Räumen, Modernismus, Politik, Feminismus und Kulturgeschichte. Die Zusammenstellung historischer, forschungsbasierter und diskursbezogener Perspektiven untersucht, wie Bäume im Anthropozän erhalten, genutzt und geschätzt werden können. Sie beleuchtet historische Beispiele wachsender Architektur, wie die lebenden Wurzelbrücken der Khasi-People in Indien, die Verwendung von Bäumen im urbanen Raum, neuartige Ansätze zum Entwerfen und Bauen mit lebenden Bäumen sowie den Baum als Ressource für Baumaterialien. Die Essays, Fotografien, Reflexionen, Filmbeiträge und Interviews in dem englischsprachigen Band werden durch Architekturbeispiele, neue Forschungsperspektiven und aktuelle Gestaltungsansätze ergänzt. Sie veranschaulichen dynamische Prozesse, in denen Bäume als sich ständig verändernde Organismen eine Schlüsselrolle spielen. Sie laden ein zu einer transdisziplinären Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungen zwischen Mensch, Baum und Architektur sowie deren Überdenken und Weiterentwickeln in unserer Zeit des ständigen Wandels und der begrenzten Ressourcen.…

Trees, Time, Architecture introduces living plant construction as an important tool to improve the climate in our cities. In the form of a magazine, the volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and creative perspectives looks at how living trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene by taking into account their temporal dimension. It highlights ancient examples of living plant architecture, such as the root bridges of the Khasi people in India, Nordic mythology with its representation of a tree as a cosmological symbol, and the architectural use of living trees in the Roman Empire.
The essays, photographs, memoirs, film reviews, and conversations in this book are supplemented with exemplary architectures, new research approaches, and current design methods. They illustrate dynamic processes in which trees play a key role as constantly changing organisms. They invite a transdisciplinary examination of relationships between people, trees, and architecture, as well as their rethinking and further development in our time of constant change and limited resources.
