Hardback. Condition: New. DEMO:POLIS is a sociological and urbanist research undertaking comprehensively examining what 'public space' means today. After two decades of appropriation of the internet's anonymous, virtual public space, people are once again taking to streets and squares for their concern. Public space today is no longer merely a large square in the heart of town: it is traffic hub, advertising medium, multi-functional space, or simply a place to hang out. It can be a combat zone for various interest groups at one time and a place for individual self-projection and collective experience another time, but also a strong manifestation of social segregation and neglect.The DEMO:POLIS project has resulted in this new book. It features a vast range of exemplary public spaces and presents controversial artistic and urban design interventions that demonstrate protests against and criticisms of the status quo. Richly illustrated, it also presents various artistic and scientific approaches and working principles, offering manifold design options for the public space. The book is published to coincide with an exhibition at Berlin's Akademie der Künste in spring 2016.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Water and land are the exuberant and predominant resources of Paraguay both for local economy as well as for industry. Water and land are the foundations for the rural agriculture economy- still the primary source of Paraguay's national income. Electricity generated from waterpower allows the population of about 6 million people to be basically autonomous from other energy sources. A large surplus of energy is exported. Yet, the majority of jobs are related to a rural economy rather than to an urban labor market of business services. The unemployment rate is high, the number of long-term jobs is low, individual annual income steadily ranks on the lowest levels worldwide. Remoteness on a local and international level characterizes the contact with and within Paraguay. It is this taxing context in which architects Solano Benítez and Javier Corvalán are working. With visionary clarity both architects alter conjectural detriments of scarcity and limitations into assets. With straightforward frankness they demonstrate that necessity is the mother of invention and human creativity remains a guarantee for culture. How to accomplish sustainability and suitability at all scales are the lessons to be learnt from these architects. Although their works are distinctly different artistic articulations it is the cultural context and its interpretation that connects their actions. Solano Benítez' audacious brick structures are hand crafted, rough, minimal and of strikingly beautiful elegance like the best engineering structures at all times. The featured Abu & Font house earned him the prestigious Swiss BSI Architectural Award in 2008. Like pioneers he and his team boldly conquer new fields of construction even if using familiar and traditional products. Javier Corvalán's fine sense of observation results in incredibly stimulating and flexible spaces - be it a private house, a cultural center, a library, or his own house and office. The intentional informality of the plan is consequently and successfully transformed into experimental plastic configurations. A subversive dismissal of traditional definitions of an object not to mention a building, its meaning and its technical representation is key to the chosen tectonic order which more than once relies on transformations of ready-mades or trivial construction methods. With this fifth O'Neil Ford Duograph, The Center for American Architecture and Design together with the O'Neil Ford Chair in Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin are publishing another set of buildings by two architects from one country in South America. Without doubt Solano Benitez and Javier Corvalan are two outstanding figures of contemporary Paraguayan architecture, both as architects and teachers. But more than that, their work shows a research approach that is quite unlike that of any of their international colleagues. Given its natural resources, a strong emphasis on self sustained local economy and the prospect of an open and more vibrant future, Paraguay is ready to project its next phase of development without repeating or importing the failures of modern progress: a radical plea for a low-tech rather than a high-tech approach. Energy generation and consumption, emission standards, appropriate construction methods and defensible agricultural processing methods are key decisions towards a sustainable future of humanity worldwide. Benítez and Corvalán contribute clear and profound statements how to build towards this future thus shifting consuetudinary definitions of relevance in modern architecture.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Brazil gained its position in architectural history already at the beginning of the twentieth century by genuine modern buildings evoking international adoration - manifested in the well attended exhibition Brazil Builds at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1943. The metonymy of the new architecture quickly turned into an integrative cultural force beyond the merely aesthetic context. The comprehensive spirit of optimism can still be traced today in the Federal government buildings of the young capital Brasilia , inaugurated in1960.Overshadowed by the omnipresent personality of Oscar Niemeyer, who has long been regarded as the sole international representative of the Brazil architectural scene since 1930, little is known about the virtuoso buildings continually built since those formative years of early modernism in Brazil, effortlessly keeping up with the fast-paced developments of the cities. As a result of the publicity of the second Brazilian Pritzker Prize winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 2006, a younger generation of architects mainly working in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro draws growing international attention. They follow in the footsteps of a long list of forefathers, whose early protagonists such as Vilanova Artigas, Lucio Costa, Sergio Bernardes remained widely unknown in the US and Europe.The second O Neil Ford duograph is devoted to two residential buildings by Angelo Bucci and Carla Juaçaba. Both buildings are located in Riode Janeiro being considered as to convey like no other city the complex parallel Brazilian life styles and realities to an international audience.The house by Angelo Bucci, who studied in Sao Paulo, where he is teaching today, at the legendary school of architecture by Vilanova Artigas, FAUUSP, is located in the vital central quarter of Santa Teresa high above the lower parts of town. Not visible from the street, the building reveals itself to the visitor in meticulously staged sequences until one reaches the highest point where the 360 degree panoramic views so typical for Rio de Janeiro literally imbue the entire building, almost dissolving itself into the cosmic energy of the city.Carla Juaçaba, who studied in Rio de Janeiro living and working there ever since, is contributing to this publication a vacation house located outside of Rio de Janeiro in a remote and virgin forest area in the immediate vicinity of the river Rio Bonito; a small solitaire, a spirited rejoinder to Laugier s cabanne rustique, unfolding epical dimensions despite its actual miniature size.Each volume in the O Neil Ford Duograph series will present one building by each of two different architects from a single country. By having two buildings featured within a single book, the series editors wish to let the architects and their work speak as directly as possible through the printed page. Drawings and photographs present each building in context and detail and provide a comprehensive account. As Vol. 1 in this series was published Chile. House at Punta Pite, 2003-06 by Smiljan Radic/Crypt in the Cathedral of Santiago de Chile, 1999-2006 by Rodrigo Perez de Arce.Parallel to the O Neil Ford Duographs the Center for American Architecture and Design and the O Neil Ford Chair are launching a sister series entitled the O Neil Ford Monographs. This latter series will document the complex gestation of single buildings of central importance to architecture.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. How should a diverse metropolitan region such as the German capital Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg reinvent itself, while preserving its character, nurturing its attributes, and simultaneously preparing for climate change? 21BB-Model Region Berlin-Brandenburg offers an analysis of these important strategic questions, along with constructive solutions. As a comprehensive survey of the entire Berlin-Brandenburg region, this book presents essays; striking visualisations, maps and graphics; and projects in a large-format atlas. Its findings are based on extensive research at University of Texas at Austin's School of Architecture (UTSOA) into complex subjects such as the circular economy, social equity, mobility, energy and water management, environment, population growth and density, inclusion, and urban culture. Wide-ranging essays are supplemented with proposals developed by UTSOA's students. The book also features a radical urban and regional design submitted to an international competition for Berlin-Brandenburg's long-term development by Berlin-based firm Hoidn Wang Partner. Given the urgent need for a public debate about the future of Germany's capital region, this volume offers a solid factual basis and offers new approaches, projects, and ideas. AUTHORS: Barbara Hoidn is an architect, curator, and Loeb Fellow at Harvard Graduate School of Design. Wilfried Wang is an architect and O'Neil Ford Centennial Professor in Architecture at University of Texasat Austin.
