Abstract

Der "Flughafen Wien" wurde seit 1954 als ziviler Flughafen ausgebaut und betrieben. Die Passagierzahlen stiegen von 2006 bis 2011 von knapp 17 bis über 21 Millionen. Um die Sicherheit dieser wachsenden Zahl von Passagieren und die Logistik für den Frachtverkehr auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen, hat man sich zu einem strukturell tiefgreifend Umbau entschlossen. 2005 wurde der neue Tower eröffnet (Zechner & Zechner), sowie das Terminal 1A (IttenBrechbühl / Baumschlager Eberle / Eichinger oder Knechtl). Weitere Bauteile folgten und schließlich wurde 2012 der spektakuläre Check-in 3, vormals 'Skylink' (IttenBrechbühl / Baumschlager Eberle), fertiggestellt. Der Architekt, Künstler und Fotograf Roman Bönsch hat die Metamorphose eines der größten Bauprojekte Europas von Anfang an mit seiner Kamera begleitet. Seine Fotos werden nun erstmals in Buchform veröffentlicht, zusammen mit Fotos von Robert Gruber und Larry R. Williams. Ein Essay von Ralph Knickmeier und Texte von Romana Hasler, Sebastian Illichmann, Robert Keiser, Peter Kleemann, Peter Mayerhofer, Thomas D. Trummer und Norbert Steiner runden den Bildband ab. What is today known as the Vienna International Airport was originally erected in 1954, and has since been extensively expanded. Between 2006 and 2011, the annual number of passengers using the airport rose from 17 to over 21 million. In order to ensure the safety of the growing numbers of passengers, and to deliver state-of-the-art logistics for freight transport, the decision was made to fundamentally restructure the airport. In 2005 the new tower (Zechner & Zechner) commenced operations, as did Terminal 1A (IttenBrechbühl / Baumschlager Eberle / Eichinger or Knechtl). Further components were later added, and in 2012 the spectacular new Check-in 3, formerly "Skylink" (IttenBrechbühl / Baumschlager Eberle), was completed. With camera in hand, the architect, artist and photographer Roman Bönsch has documented this metamorphosis of one of Europe's largest construction projects from the outset. This work presents his photographs in book form for the first time, complemented by additional photography from Robert Gruber and Larry R. Williams. An essay by Ralph Knickmeier and further texts by Romana Hasler, Sebastian Illichmann, Robert Keiser, Peter Kleemann, Peter Mayerhofer, Thomas D. Trummer and Norbert Steiner round out the book.

Abstract

"Whatever 'ugliness' is, it remains a problematic category in architectural aesthetics - alternately vilified and appropriated, either to shock or to invert conventions of architecture. This book presents eighteen new essays which rethink ugliness in architecture - from brutalism to eclectic postmodern architectural productions - and together offer a diverse reappraisal of the history and theory of postmodern architecture and design. The essays address both broad theoretical questions on ugliness and postmodern aesthetics, as well as more specific analyses of significant architectural examples dating from the last decades of the twentieth century, addressing the relation between the aesthetic register of ugliness and aesthetic concepts such as brutalism, kitsch, the formless, ad hoc-ism, the monstrous, or the grotesque. The aim of this volume is not simply to document the history of a postmodern anti-aesthetic through case studies. Instead, it aims to shed light on an aesthetic problem that has been largely overlooked in the agenda of architectural theory, the question if and how ugliness can be of interest to architecture; or if and how architecture can make good use of ugliness"--

Abstract

Mit der Inversion von McLuhan's berühmten Dictum das Medium sei die Nachricht geht es der Autorin darum, einen Begriff von Medialität zu konturieren, welcher die selbstbezügliche - und damit dem Stattfinden nach unbegrenzte, weil rein operative - Wendigkeit medialer Instrumentalität beherbergen und in einem Element des Mitteilbaren einquartieren kann. Medialität wird hier seinem Sinngehalt nach als abstrakt-symbolische und virtuelle Verteiltheit konzipiert, die alles denkbar Mögliche aufnehmen und indexieren kann, unter einer Bedingung: dass dieses sich formal-operativ symbolisieren, adressieren und kategorisieren lässt. So begriffen durchkreuzt Medialität rein logische wie auch rein fiktive Ordnungsvorstellungen und eröffnet genau damit die Möglichkeit einer Architektonik ziviler, im Sinne von mehrwertigen und unstetig wandelbaren Gliederungsgefügen. Dieser Möglichkeit spürt die Autorin hier gegenwartsdiagnostisch und kulturgeschichtlich nach. With her inversion of McLuhan's famous dictum that the medium be the message, the author attempts to sketch a concept of mediality that is capable of hosting and accommodating the self-referential agility of medialized instrumentality within an element of communicability. Mediality is conceived as virtual dis-positivity, and its core predication is to receive and index the totality of what can be a formally-symbolic, and hence a communicable, object. So conceived, mediality foils purely logical, as well as purely fictional notions of order and is capable of opening up the possibility of a civic architectonics, one capable of articulating its assemblages with polyvalent and discretely variable elements, and in a multitude of competing manners. In this book, the author traces the possibility of such an architectonics from a diagnostic and cultural-historical point of view.

Abstract

"Mediated Messages presents a collection of original writing exploring the role played by the media in the development of postmodern architecture in the 1970s and 80s. The book's twelve chapters and case-studies examine a range of contemporary periodicals and exhibitions to explore their role in the postmodern. This focus on mediation as a key feature of architectural post-modernism, and the recognition that post-modernism grew out of developments in the media, opens up the possibility of an important new account of post-modernism distinct from existing narratives. Accompanied by a contextualizing introduction, the essays are arranged across four thematic sections (covering: images; international postmodernisms; high and low culture; and postmodern architects as theorists) and present a range of case-studies with a genuinely international scope. Altogether, this work makes a substantial contribution to the historical account of architectural postmodernism, and will be of great interest to researchers in postmodernism as well as those examining the role of the media in architectural history".
