The art of architecture is an important aesthetic element that can leave a lasting impression in one's mind about the values of a society. Today's architectural art, education, and culture have gradually turned into engineering practices and more technical pursuits. Architecture in Fictional Literature is a book written with the aim of understanding the concept of living spaces as portrayed in works of fiction and to open the doors to a new perspective for readers on the art of architecture. It is a collection of essays written by educators and literary critics about how architecture is presented in 28 selected literary works of fiction. These selected works, which include well-known works such as Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, Kafka's The Castle, Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, among many others, collectively attempt to illustrate facets of human life in a lucidly expressive way while also having an architectural background added in the narrative. Each essay is unique and brings a diverse range of perspectives on the main theme, while also touching on some niche topics in this area, (such as spatial analysis, urban transformation and time-period settings), all of which have exploratory potential. With this collection, the contributors aspire to initiate the transformation of architectural education by including a blend of literary criticism. By building a foundation of architectural aesthetics, they hope to bridge the gap between the artist and the architect, while also inspiring a new generation of urban planners, landscape artists, and interior designers to consider past works when designing living spaces. Architecture in Fictional Literature is also essential to any enthusiast of fictional works who wants to understand the fictional portrayal of living spaces and architecture in literature.

Inwiefern ist die Architektur imaginär? Welche Spielräume des Imaginären werden durch Gebautes oder durch Baupläne eröffnet? Von der anderen Seite her: Ist die literarische Imagination architektonisch? Bedarf sie stets eines gestalteten Chronotopos, einer Formierung des Imaginierten? Da Räume, Gebäude, Städte in der Literatur nicht nur entworfen, sondern imaginär begangen werden: Kann man diese Innenansicht des imaginär Gebauten "Bildkritik" nennen? Die in diesem Band vorliegenden Beiträge widmen sich in einem interdisziplinären Parcours nicht nur den Überschneidungen und Wechselbeziehungen, sondern auch der gemeinsamen Basis von Architektur und literarischer Imagination. Raumsemantik und Bildlichkeit erweisen sich dabei als Kristallisationspunkte.

Unter der Überschrift Verhinderte Meisterwerke versammelt der Band literatur- und filmwissenschaftliche Aufsätze, die sich mit nicht-verwirklichten künstlerischen Vorhaben beschäftigen. Die thematisierten Projekte aus Literatur und Film sind alle - aus unterschiedlichen Gründen und auf verschiedene Weise - gescheitert: Aus Ideen wurden keine Texte, Textversuche blieben Fragmente, Entwürfe wurden vergessen, vernichtet oder gingen verloren. Vielleicht hätten diese Anläufe zu kanonischen Romanen oder Filmklassikern werden können. Bisher fand die Auseinandersetzung mit solchen Fällen des Scheiterns vorwiegend im Rahmen textkritischer Werkaufarbeitungen, in biographischen Einzelstudien oder in essayistischen Beiträgen statt. Der Sammelband will sie nun nebeneinanderstellen und auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene diskutieren. With our anthology (Prevented Masterpieces. Failed projects in literature and film) we turn to literary and cinematic projects that have failed for different reasons and in different ways. Ideas did not become texts, manuscripts involuntarily remained fragments, recordings were forgotten, destroyed or lost. Perhaps these attempts could have led to successful, groundbreaking and ultimately even canonic novels and blockbusters - if only they had been finalized.
