Abstract

In the first decades of the 20th century, civil engineers were widely seen as a role model for future architects. Their role within the contemporary architecture movements, however, was hardly discussed. To this day, even fundamental questions about collaborations, rivalries, or conflicts between the two sister disciplines still await answers. This volume brings together contributions by international scholars on the cooperation between architects and civil engineers in various countries in the interwar period. By offering both insights into national peculiarities and new reflections on the general nature, character, and significance of such joint efforts, it opens exciting new perspectives on the modern building culture of Europe and beyond.

Abstract

The construction sector currently accounts for a high proportion of CO2 emissions and gray energy use. This will have to change fundamentally if we are to prevent catastrophic climate change and make urban planning and construction fit for the future. In addition to a paradigm shift in how architects work, we need to rethink how they are trained in higher education. Based on a lifecycle approach and an awareness of resource consumption, this volume in the Basics series explains a wide range of climate-friendly concepts in an easy-to-understand way, inspiring readers to take a closer look at solutions and new approaches in their daily practice. The key factors involved in the various planning stages of buildings are presented and placed in the context of the overall planning.

Abstract

«La beauté n'a rien à voir avec l'argent ou la finance. Elle demande de la créativité et de l'amour», affirme Anna Heringer. Sa vision fait mouche, comme en témoignent des amphithéâtres pleins, des prix internationaux (dont l’Aga Kahn Award en 2007 et l’OBEL AWARD en 2020), une invitation au TED Talk 2017 ainsi que de nombreuses expositions: MoMA à New York, MAM à São Paulo, Biennale de Venise, etc. Dans Form Follows Love, Anna Heringer raconte à l'auteure Dominique Gauzin-Müller son parcours d'architecte : ses études, la rencontre avec le spécialiste du pisé Martin Rauch, sa pratique dans le Sud global et ses projets actuels en Europe. Elle partage avec nous le constat que la terre crue est non seulement un matériau respectueux de l'environnement, mais aussi que sa mise en œuvre dans les bâtiments initie des processus réparateurs au sein de la société. Dans ce texte essentiel, l'architecte allemande Anna Heringer, spécialiste de la construction en terre crue, raconte à la fois: comment l'architecture peut avoir une influence positive sur la société et sur l'environnement comment construire avec des ressources locales préserve l'équilibre écologique. Disponible en français, allemand et anglais According to Anna Heringer, "Beauty has nothing to do with money or finance, but everything to do with creativity and love". With statements like this she clearly has her finger on the pulse of our time, judging by the packed lecture halls, international awards such as the 2007 Aga Kahn Award or the 2020 OBEL AWARD, exhibitions at MoMA, MAM São Paulo, and the Venice Biennale. In Form Follows Love, Anna Heringer talks to author Dominique Gauzin-Müller about her career as an architect, her studies, her experiences during a workshop by Martin Rauch, her practice in the Global South, and current projects in the Global North. She shares with us the insight that clay is not only an environmentally friendly material, but in the best cases it can even trigger socially beneficial processes. „Schönheit hat nichts mit Geld oder Finanzen zu tun, sondern mit Kreativität und Liebe“, sagt Anna Heringer und trifft damit den Nerv der Zeit. Das belegen volle Hörsäle, internationale Auszeichnungen wie z. B. der Aga Kahn Award 2007 oder der OBEL AWARD 2020 sowie Ausstellungen im MoMA, im MAM São Paulo und bei der Biennale in Venedig oder die Einladung zum TED Talk 2017. In Form Follows Love erzählt Anna Heringer der Autorin Dominique Gauzin-Müller von ihrem Werdegang als Architektin, dem Studium, ihren Erfahrungen während eines Workshops von Martin Rauch und ihrer Praxis im Globalen Süden bis hin zu ihren aktuellen Projekten im Globalen Norden. Sie teilt mit uns dabei die Erkenntnis, dass Lehm nicht nur ein umweltfreundlicher Werkstoff ist, sondern damit beim Bauen im besten Fall sogar gesellschaftlich heilsame Prozesse angestoßen werden können. Essenzieller Text der auf Lehmbau spezialisierten Architektin Anna Heringer Wie Architektur Umwelt und Gesellschaft positiv verändern kann Bauen mit lokalen Ressourcen zur Erhaltung des ökologischen Gleichgewichts Erhältlich auf Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch

Abstract

Ephemeral phenomena like fire, precipitation, shade, and wind have emerged as important contemporary protagonists for environmental design due to their dynamic impact on buildings and cities. The importance of including these forces in architecture has gained rapid momentum in the global quest for sustainability. This book investigates the history, theory and applications of climatic design in the built environment examining architecture and landscapes from various time periods. Based on a collaboration between the University of Sydney and the National University of Singapore, the book brings together contributing authors from Australia, Singapore, and the United States.“Dry”, “Wet”, “Cool” and “Hot” divide the book into categories through which a wide array of representational topics are covered —from dust storms and clouds, to ice and bushfires. A concluding section presents project examples for exploratory application in the design of architecture.
