Summary:

"Abwechselnd gefeiert und verurteilt, zugleich historisch rückgebunden wie zukunftsweisend, ist das Ornament eine wesentliche, nicht selten unterschätzte Vokabel der Architektursprache. Dieses Buch fächert den Ornamentdiskurs seit dem 19. Jahrhundert aus kulturhistorischer Sicht auf und nutzt ihn als Hintergrund für eine umfassende Darstellung und Analyse der gegenwärtigen Ornamenttheorie und -praxis. Dabei stehen die kommunikative Qualität und die ästhetische Faszination von aktuellen Fassaden-Ornamenten im Mittelpunkt. Zahlreiche Beispiele veranschaulichen ein grosses Spektrum ornamentaler Erscheinungsformen, das von regionalen Traditionen und Vorlagen der bildenden Kunst über den Formenschatz der Natur bis hin zu den bewegten Licht-Ornamenten der Digitalfassaden reicht. In seiner Verbindung von Architektur-, Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte ist dieser Beitrag zur Ornamentdebatte im 21. Jahrhundert wegweisend"--Publisher's summary, back cover.
"Alternately celebrated and condemned, both linked to history and future-oriented, ornament is a significant and often underestimated item of the architectural vocabulary. This book presents the unfolding of the ornament debate since the nineteenth century, from a historico-cultural point of view, and uses it as the basis for a comprehensive presentation and analysis of contemporary ornament theory and practice. A range of examples shows not only the wide spectrum of ornamental forms-from regional traditions and examples from the fine arts, via the wealth of forms in nature, to the moving lighting ornamentation of modern digital façades-but also their communicative aspect and aesthetic appeal. Therefore this contribution to the ornament debate in the twenty-first century is a pioneering combination of the history of architecture, art and culture"--Publisher's summary, English website.
