The man of blue landscapes describes the life and work of the Finnish geographer Johannes Gabriel Granö (1882–1956), whose career also reflected Finland’s development as a modern state. Granö was a scientific explorer, writer, a pioneer of Finnish photographic art and a professor of geography at the universities of Tartu (Estonia), Helsinki and Turku. In Estonia he applied scientific method to the study of local history and from Tartu brought the tradition of urban research. Granö spent much of his youth in Omsk in western Siberia, where his father worked as a priest among displaced and deported Finns and Estonians. From 1906 to 1916 Granö made an expedition to Mongolia and the Altai mountains, but his fieldwork remained unfinished when the 1917 revolution broke out, the area was then closed to Western scholars for 70 years. Among Granö’s most important works are the classic travel book Altai, vaellusvuosina nähtyä ja elettyä (‘The Altai, seen and experienced during my years of travel’, 1921) and his methodological masterpiece Puhdas maantiede (‘Pure geography’, 1930). In it Granö outlined a theory of landscapes, and the book was a pioneering work ahead of its time: landscape was examined in terms of the relation between human beings and their environment, as the sum of all the senses.

After the Wall came down, Berlin was faced with unprecedented city planning tasks. The partition of the city needed to be remedied, and ideas for the as-yet uncertain future needed to be developed and implemented within an extremely short time. Fifteen of the planners from East and West Berlin responsible look back on the concepts that were created, how the decision processes were organized, what conflicts were resolved (or not), and whether key decisions have stood the test of time. In interviews about this challenging period of transformation, eyewitness accounts provide a lively record of the mood during the first five years of reunification and illustrate contemporary contexts and backgrounds. Images of urban developments, some previously unpublished, offer a new perspective on the Berlin of the early nineties. With contributions by Dorothee Dubrau, Bruno Flierl, Volker Hassemer, Bernd Hunger, Urs Kohlbrenner, Ulla Luther, and others as well as photos of the city by E.-J. Ouwerkerk Nach dem Mauerfall waren in Berlin völlig neuartige Planungsaufgaben zu bewältigen. Die Teilung war zu überwinden, und in kürzester Zeit mussten Konzepte für die noch ungewisse Zukunft der Stadt entwickelt und in die Tat umgesetzt werden. Welche Konzepte entstanden, wie die Entscheidungsprozesse organisiert wurden, welche Konflikte (nicht) gelöst wurden und wie sich zentrale Beschlüsse seither bewährt haben, daran erinnern sich fünfzehn damals verantwortliche Planer*innen aus Ost- und West-Berlin. In Interviews über die herausfordernde Aufbruchszeit vermitteln die Zeitzeug*innen ein lebendiges Bild von der Stimmung der ersten fünf Jahre und berichten von Zusammenhängen und Hintergründen. Abbildungen von teils noch unveröffentlichten Planungen erlauben einen neuen Blick auf das Berlin der frühen 1990er. Mit Beiträgen von Dorothee Dubrau, Bruno Flierl, Volker Hassemer, Bernd Hunger, Urs Kohlbrenner, Ulla Luther und anderen sowie Stadtfotos von E.-J. Ouwerkerk

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) New and cutting-edge forms of pedagogy such as distance learning, design-build, collaborative learning, and peer-to-peer practices are increasingly calling conventional teaching and learning environments, in architecture and other design disciplines, into question. Academic institutions in Western Europe, in particular, are faced with the challenge of rethinking standardized spatial structures and institutional hierarchies and adapting them to unconventional and radical teaching and learning concepts. GAM.18 explores anew the area of conflict between architecture teaching in universities and the teaching environment. It calls for spatial structures and working environments that enable the contemplation and design of architecture, and investigates teaching and learning methods that include critical consideration of the spaces and institutions in which the teaching takes place. With contributions from Hélène Frichot, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, Lucia Pennati, Jean-Louis Violeau, and others Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Neue und zeitgemäße Formen von Pädagogik wie Distance Learning, Design-Build, kollaborative Lernformen oder Peer-to-Peer-Praktiken stellen konventionelle Lehr- und Lernumgebungen in der Architektur und anderen gestalterischen Fächern zunehmend infrage. Vor allem westlich-europäische Ausbildungsstätten sehen sich aktuell mit der Herausforderung konfrontiert, standardisierte Raumstrukturen und institutionelle Hierarchien zu überdenken und an unkonventionelle, radikalere Lehr- und Lernkonzepte anzupassen. GAM.18 lotet das Spannungsfeld zwischen universitärer Architekturlehre und ihrer Lernumgebung neu aus: Es fragt nach Raumstrukturen und Arbeitsumgebungen, in welchen das Nachdenken über und das Entwerfen von Architektur stattfinden kann und untersucht Lehr- und Lernmethoden, die die Räume und Institutionen, in denen sie stattfinden, kritisch in ihre Praxis einbeziehen.
