About this Item

Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - Der Katalog World of Malls widmet sich einem Bautyp, der vor knapp 60 Jahren in den Vereinigten Staaten erfunden wurde und sich schnell weltweit verbreitete. Durch die zunehmende Ausrichtung des Städtebaus auf den Autoverkehr wurde die Mall zu einem Ersatzraum für verlorene Urbanität. Doch wohin geht die Entwicklung der Shopping Mall heute Auf der einen Seite gibt es weiterhin spektakuläre Neueröffnungen in Amerika, Asien, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Europa. Zugleich stehen aber auch viele Malls leer, und einige werden umgebaut und umgenutzt. Kaum ein anderer Bautyp wird so kontrovers diskutiert: Bringt die Shopping Mall nun den Tod der Stadt oder fördert sie eher deren Wiederbelebung Stadtplaner, Ökonomen und Architekturhistoriker wie Anette Baldauf, Robert Bruegmann, Dietrich Erben, Richard Longstreth, Alain Thierstein, June Williamson und Sophie Wolfrum untersuchen in ihren Aufsätzen die Transformationsprozesse der Shopping Mall vom 20. zum 21. Jahrhundert. Ausstellung: Architekturmuseum der TU München in der Pinakothek der Moderne, 13.7.- 22.10.2016.

About this title

Synopsis

The catalogue World of Malls is devoted to a type of building that was invented in the United States just less than sixty years ago and quickly spread throughout the world. Due to urban planning’s increasing orientation toward the automobile, the mall became a substitute for lost urbanity. Yet what direction is the development of the shopping mall taking today? On the one hand, there continue to be spectacular new openings in America, Asia, the United Arab Emirates, and Europe. At the same time, however, many malls are empty, and some are being converted and repurposed. There is hardly any other building typology that is being discussed as controversially: does the shopping mall mean the death of the city, or does it stimulate its revitalization? In their essays, urban planners, economists, and architectural historians such as Anette Baldauf, Bob Bruegmann, Dietrich Erben, Richard Longstreth, Alain Thierstein, June Williamson, and Sophie Wolfrum examine the transformation processes of the shopping mall from the twentieth to the twenty-first century.

From the Back Cover

"World of Malls" explores a type of building that was invented in the United States nearly 60 years ago and quickly spread throughout the world. Because of urban planning's increasing orientation toward the automobile, the mall became a substitute for lost urbanism. But what direction is the development of the shopping mall taking today? On the one hand, there continue to be spectacular new openings in America, Asia, the United Arab Emirates and Europe. At the same time, however, many malls are empty, and some are being converted and repurposed.
There is hardly any other building typology that is currently being discussed with such controversy: does the shopping mall mean the death of the city, or does it stimulate its revitalization? In their essays in this volume, urban planners, economists and architectural historians such as Anette Baldauf, Bob Bruegmann, Dietrich Erben, Richard Longstreth, Alain Thierstein, June Williamson and Sophie Wolfrum examine the transformation processes of the shopping mall from the 20th to the 21st century.
