Paperback. Condition: New. Jan Turnovský (1942-95), born and educated in Prague, emigrated to Austria in 1966 and worked for various architectural firms in Vienna. In 1975 he was appointed as a research and teaching assistant at Technische Universität Wien's Institute for Architecture and Design. During his tenure, and as temporary head of the institute's department of residential architecture in 1995, he proved to be an equally dedicated and unorthodox assistant and lecturer. His thinking and intellectual legacy has been influential for an entire generation of younger Austrian architects.This new book presents for the first time Turnovský's previously unpublished The Weltanschauung as an Ersatz Gestalt as a facsimile-reprint of his illustrated and highly original typo-script. Penned as a thesis to obtain his Master's degree at the AA in London, the text focuses on a philosophy of "open systems", which Turnovský applies to the architectural design process. He relates the psychological term "gestalt" to the philosophical weltanschauung: A collective, contemporary, etc. "weltanschauung" always affects our perception of a "gestalt", in this case a work of architecture. Turnovský questions conventional thinking both critically and constructively and presents his strategy of reading architecture and its elements in new contexts.Text in English and German. …

Paperback. Condition: New. This book provides the first assessment of the performance of three leading European polities in providing estimative intelligence during an era of surprise. It develops a new framework for conducting postmortems guided by a normative model of anticipatory foreign policy. The comparative analysis focuses on how the UK, the EU and Germany handled three cases of major surprises: the Arab uprisings, the rise to power of the Islamic State (ISIS), and the Russian annexation of Crimea. It considers not just government intelligence assessments, but also diplomatic reporting and expert open sources and how these assessments were received by organisational leaders. The book tests and develops new theories about the causes of strategic surprises, going beyond a common focus on intelligence versus policy failures to identify challenges and factors that cut across both communities. With the help of former senior officials, the book identifies lessons yet to be learnt by European polities to better anticipate and prepare for future surprises. …

Softcover. Condition: As New. «The Weltanschauung as an Ersatz Gestalt» ist die bisher unveröffentlichte Master-Arbeit, die Jan Turnovský 1978 an der Architectural Association in London einreichte. Im Zentrum steht die an Umberto Eco angelehnte Philosophie «Offener Systeme», die auf die architektonische Entwurfsarbeit übertragen wird: An der Wahrnehmung (Konstruktion) von Gestalten (Architektur) ist Weltanschauung (kollektive, zeitgemässe usw.) wesentlich beteiligt. Andererseits bietet eine individuelle Weltanschauung die Möglichkeit, Gestalten anders zu sehen als vorgesehen, sie aus gegebenen Stimuli anders als gewohnt zu konstruieren. Drei Arten «magischer Formeln», die besonders in den 1970er-Jahren auch in der Architektur häufig Anwendung fanden und einander konkurrierten, werden untersucht: die Terminologien und Formeln der numerischen Ästhetik, der Ideologie und der Semiologie. Die «Weltanschauung» ist ein kluger, kritisch-philosophischer und höchst humorvoller Text, der heutige Leserinnen und Leser mit einer Denkschule konfrontiert, die Konventionen hinterfragt und die Strategie verfolgt, Architektur und ihre Elemente in neuen Zusammenhängen verständlich zu machen. In dieser ersten Buchausgabe wird Turnovskýs originales künstlerisches Typoskript in Englisch als Faksimile-Reprint parallel zur deutschen Übersetzung präsentiert.…
