From 18th June to 8th August 2019, the Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin will be hosting the "Konzept+Atmosphäre" exhibition which originates from the Baukunstarchiv NRW in Dortmund. Using photographs and models, the exhibition will display selected works by Gerber Architekten from over five decades which, with their differing conceptual approaches, have produced a wide range of tangible architectural atmospheres. A filmed interview addresses the question of how architecture can create atmosphere and how a building can become a multifaceted place of experience.

For over thirty-five years, Wout Berger has lived on the IJsselmeer, a freshwater lake in central Netherlands. It is the first thing he sees each morning and his artistic subject matter, besides the landscape and atmosphere of his daily life. From a tripod fixed by his bedroom window, Berger began to photograph whatever he saw. Recalling both Impressionist light studies and Olafur Eliasson’s photo series, Berger captures the amorphous shapes of waves, fog, rain and clouds fading into the photographic surfaces.

Résumé:
''Breathless'' is published as part of an upcoming exhibition taking place within a pavilion on The Power Plant’s South Terrace Summer 2022. ''Breathless'' shares contributions on the paradoxes of air, atmosphere and the breath with key texts and artworks. The book begins in the smog of our current predicament, with philosopher Dehlia Hannah proposing a new vocabulary for air in her text, ''Inversion Layer''. Following the flow of air, Flaka Haliti’s installation ''Speculating on the Blue'' opens a portal to an artificial atmosphere that defines boundaries of a closed reality. Connecting to parallel worlds, philosopher Achille Mbembe’s ''The Universal Right to Breathe'' captures a global perspective on breathing, offering alternative trajectories beyond suffocation. Marguerite Humeau’s speculative sculpture imagines a species that survives suffocation and evolves exclusively to breathe. Charles Stankievech exhumes the voices of Clarice Lispector and Lygia Clark as an interconnected mystical encounter in a text titled ''Breath with Me, A Breath of Life''. In ''Twilight of Sighs'', psychoanalyst and philosopher Alireza Taheri analyzes the sigh with a set of propositions. With the same intensity, Donna Kukama re-narrates history with her performance ''Chapter Q: Dem Short-Short-Falls'' as she breathes the memory of an invisible event. Invisibility of viral and virtual particles are positioned in the context of other historical times in Ala Roushan’s text ''Air of Our Closed World'', articulating the inversion experienced today within the domestic bubble/bunker. ''The Air Without'' by Kate Whiteway connects illness and metaphor to consider contradictions in the air that both oxygenates the lung while breathing diamond dust. With a granularity greater than dust, Heather Davis’s text ''Molecular Intimacy'' situates us at the nanoscale to position bodies within the atmosphere they breathe. This final text loops back to the start of the book in considering the air of our contemporary sky and the breath that exists in its precarious state. Under this arched sky, the book ends with ''Fire with Fire'', engulfed in the smoky aftermath of forest fires in the work of Julius von Bismarck.

Résumé:
"Verb - conditioning" investigates the potential of architectural signification. As our ability to control the production of form and the creation of environments parallels that of natural processes, architecture is not only conceived as a platform for the development of human activity, but more and more as its generator and possibly also as its limiting framework. As in other industries ranging from computer applications to car manufacturing, mass-customized theming impregnates the way buildings are conceived and used. If this trend is inevitably linked to commercial success, what are the potentials for the discipline?

Craftsmen, writers, and musicians came, lured by the atmosphere of creativity amid like-minded people. Furniture, pottery, paintings, metalwork, and textiles were all made there and the people themselves became an interwoven part of the fabric of the place. This is the story of the first years of the colony, the artists who visited, and the artistic community they fostered in Woodstock, New York.

Résumé:
The inner courtyard of a Moroccan house promises refuge from the bustle of the outside world, while remaining in touch with nature. Reached by a dark and winding passage, the courtyard is the physical and spiritual centre of the house. Green vegetation, flowering plants (in the garden-like Riads), and fountains fed by narrow channels of flowing water provide a cool, shaded enclosure. Light from above combines to create a serene and sheltering atmosphere, a peaceful paradise. A venerable tradition, still very much alive. Werner Blaser has captured this marvellous architecture in duotone photos.

Résumé:
Marcia Bjornerud shows how geologists chart the planet’s past, explaining how we can determine the pace of solid Earth processes such as mountain building and erosion and comparing them with the more unstable rhythms of the oceans and atmosphere. These overlapping rates of change in the Earth system—some fast, some slow—demand a poly-temporal worldview, one that Bjornerud calls “timefulness.” She explains why timefulness is vital in the Anthropocene, this human epoch of accelerating planetary change, and proposes sensible solutions for building a more time-literate society.
