Архитектура

Die Avantgarde-Architektur der 20er Jahre wird heute fast ausschließlich mit dem Bauhaus oder Le Corbusier assoziiert. »Neues Bauen«, für konservative Zeitgenossen seinerzeit ein Schimpfwort, in seiner deutschen Sprachfassung jedoch bald international ein Begriff, beschränkte sich aber keineswegs nur auf die westlichen Metropolen. Nach der Oktoberrevolution von 1917 begann sich das junge sowjetische Rußland zu formieren und auch nach außen als radikal neu darzustellen. Neu waren schließlich auch die Bauaufgaben: Gewerkschaftshäuser und Arbeiterclubs, Kraftwerke und Fabriken, kollektive Wohnanlagen und Sanatorien für die Werktätigen, staatliche Großkaufhäuser, Partei- und Verwaltungsbauten, ein Mausoleum für Lenin… Nicht nur in Moskau und St. Petersburg, auch im fernen Baku (Aserbaidschan), in Sochi am Schwarzen Meer oder im ukrainischen Charkow hielt die Moderne Einzug mit Bauten aus Glas, Stahl und Beton. Utopie, Bauhaus-Ästhetik und russischer Konstruktivismus fanden sich hier in einem auch quantitativ einzigartigen Experiment, das damals weltweit Aufsehen erregte: Avantgarde pur. Wie in Deutschland endete dieses innovative Abenteuer Anfang der 30er Jahre, als die politische und akademische Reaktion die Führung in der Partei übernahm. Die Auflösung der UdSSR 1991 gab den letzten Zeugen dieses so kurzlebigen Aufbruchs in die Moderne schließlich den Rest. Bis auf wenige prominente Ausnahmen erst verunstaltet, dann vergessen und verwahrlost, wurde ein Viertel der noch existierenden Bauten in den letzten Jahren Opfer der Spekulation. Das Buch dokumentiert die Relikte dieser »verlorenen Avantgarde« in ebenso beeindruckenden wie ernüchternden Photographien, die der renommierte britische Architekturphotograph Richard Pare auf mehreren Reisen durch die ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken in den 90er Jahren aufgenommen hat.

Today's explosive developments in digital technology have also affected architecture and the urban landscape.

The new possibilities opened up by digital simulation have led to an increasingly strategic approach to planning, an approach based on generating scenarios, which thus represents a radical departure from traditional planning. From the preliminary sketch all the way to the production of individual building components, digital tools offer new possibilities that were still inconceivable just a few years ago.

This volume provides a profound introduction to the important role of digital technologies in design and execution. In four chapters, the author systematically examines the influence of digital culture on architecture but also on the urban landscape as well as product design. The relationship of digital architecture to the city is also an important focus.

This book singles out the approaches of architects or interior designers around the world and makes use of graphic images to settle the principles of their works. With the book, you can have a chance to recognize their architectural thinking and creative idea and meet new spatial concepts.

A richly illustrated survey of advances in creative computing and its impact on fashion, textiles and related digital sectors

The invention of the Jacquard loom in the 18th-century century paved the way for computing and revolutionary change. Since then, code has evolved to enable new methods in design, visualization and production, achieving the previously unimaginable.

Digital Visions for Fashion and Textiles considers how computing has reinvented image, material and structural processes, highlighting advancing 2D, 3D and interactive output. Digital/analogue fusions are defining new contexts for innovative fabrication.

Twenty-two of the most forward-thinking practitioners are profiled here. Featured are household names, such as Hussein Chalayan, Prada and Issey Miyake, early pioneers (Vibeke Riisberg, Peter Struycken) and more independent, avant-garde individuals (Iris van Herpen, Casey Reas, Tom Gallant).

Complete with a reference section and bibliographic information, this unique book is the perfect resource and inspiration for designers, students, industry professionals, and anyone looking for an exploration of how computer technology has permeated fashion, textiles and related digital sectors.

Includes profiles of 22 designers at the vanguard of these developments:

Savithri Bartlett • Basso & Brooke • Daniel Brown • Hussein Chalayan 
Joshua Davis • Hil Driessen • Tom Gallant • Louise Goldin • Jane Harris 
Jakob Schlaepfer • Michiko Koshino • Issey Miyake • Nuno • Prada 
Casey Reas • Vibeke Riisberg • Jonathan Saunders • Peter Struycken 
Simon Thorogood • Nancy Tilbury • Iris van Herpen • Sonja Weber

DOLOMITI is the first in a collection of annual books on the Dolomites, with a different and more detailed view than that offered by the traditional iconography of this place, recently declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. This view, the result of the overlapping work in photography, architecture and urban planning is explained together with research on the alpine landscape produced by the Dolomites Workshop, established at the University of Trento in cooperation with other European schools of architecture. This first volume consists of original images by photographer Gregor Sailer and a series of texts describing the various stages of the UNESCO nomination process.

DOLOMITI è il primo di una collezione di volumi annuali sulle Dolomiti, con uno sguardo diverso e più acuto rispetto alla iconografia tradizionale di questi luoghi, di recente patrimono Unesco. Uno sguardo frutto del lavoro incrociato tra fotografia, architettura e urbanistica che articolano, insieme, ricerche sul paesaggio alpino nell’Atelier Around Dolomiti, istituito presso l'Università di Trento in collaborazione con altre Scuole di Architettura europee.
Questo primo volume è composto da originali immagini del fotografo Gregor Sailer e da una serie di testi che descrivono i diversi passaggi, dalla candidatura Unesco, alla natura delle Dolomiti, fino alle prime ricerche avviate sul questo affascinante complesso naturale.
"Geoscape" è la sintesi che rappresenta al meglio l'area dolomitica, frutto di uno straordinario incrocio tra geografia e geologia determinanti il paesaggio, ma alludendo anche ad una nuova maniera di affrontare la conoscenza e il progetto per i contesti di particolare sensibilità.

1928–1939: Birth of the International Style
The International Style of the late '20s and '30s was defined by groundbreaking buildings, interiors and furniture by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Robert Mallett-Stevens, Alvar Aalto, and Richard Neutra. The Italian avant-garde, including Giuseppe Terragni, Carlo Mollino, Gio Ponti, Melchiorre Bega, Franco Albini or Studio BBPR, were also central in the formative decade of Modernism. Tubular furniture, glass works by Venini and Fontana Arte, and industrial design are featured, alongside American skyscrapers and office interiors.

1940–1949: Destruction and reconstruction
Fascism's rise and World War II led to widespread destruction in Europe, followed by reconstruction, democratization, and the search for new social values. In fascist Italy, Modernism flourished in buildings and designs by Carlo Mollino, Gian Luigi Banfi, Franco Albini, and Giuseppe Terragni. After the war, Organic Design emerged alongside the International Style. Despite enormous obstacles, the avant-garde continued to thrive in Italy, Switzerland, Scandinavia and the USA. This tome includes reports and features on modern industrial design and furniture, domestic and business interiors, new prefabricated houses, and American academic architecture.
