Résumé:
This book, accompanying an exhibition at the Deutsches Architektur Museum, is an attempt to define post-modernism in terms of what architecture is capable of achieving and what it must achieve. While the exhibition primarily shows buildings that are outstanding for their exceptionally high quality, the theoretical part of the catalogue provides a mouthpiece for critical voices. Both opponents and advocates of post-modernist theory and practice are given a forum to air their views: architects, architectural theorists, arts critics, and academics.

Résumé:
Western society is being terrorized by fear. Whether concerning national security, road safety or the protection of public health, every form of risk is meant to be spread, accounted for or eradicated. The safety and security obsession is leaving behind ever more visible traces, especially in public space. Speed bumps, smoke-free zones and surveillance cameras serve a(...)

Résumé:
Western society is being terrorized by fear. Whether concerning national security, road safety or the protection of public health, every form of risk is meant to be spread, accounted for or eradicated. The safety and security obsession is leaving behind ever more visible traces, especially in public space. Speed bumps, smoke-free zones and surveillance cameras serve a society where prevention is the order of the day. This second book in the Group portraits series -a collaboration between the Netherlands architecture fund and the Netherlands foundation for visual arts, design and architecture (Fonds BKVB) - once again brings together four groups of young designers around a highly topical theme. As a sequel to the successful "City branding" book, this publication explores the various aspects of fear and prevention and considers the impact on contemporary urban space in four chapters. All the stops are pulled out: text, photography, research and design alternate in a thought-provoking sequence. This publication is the result of intensive research into the presence of fear in our Western society and the role that architecture might play herein. It is therefore an instrument for students, researchers, architects and policy-makers who are concerned with security issues.

Résumé:
Since September 11, the war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq, it has been almost impossible to dissociate architecture from its social context. Add to this the massive influence of capitalism on architecture, disturbing demographic developments, and associated political, social, and ecological catastrophes, and the result is a robotic snapshot of a society dominated by(...)

Résumé:
Since September 11, the war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq, it has been almost impossible to dissociate architecture from its social context. Add to this the massive influence of capitalism on architecture, disturbing demographic developments, and associated political, social, and ecological catastrophes, and the result is a robotic snapshot of a society dominated by fear, exclusion, and simulation. Lieven De Cauter, a leading theoretician on the subject of capsularisation, has worked over the past six years on the essays and articles contained in this book, and has documented and analyzed our changing societies before and after 9/11. For the first time, the link between the global economy, demographic changes, world terror, and the role played by the United States under the Bush admisinstration, are examined in detail in a single publication. De Cauter sketches a realistic and alarming account of the new world order that is an everyday concern for the architects and planners of the contemporary city as well as for its inhabitants and users.

Résumé:
Christophe Girot has occupied the Chair of Landscape Architecture at the ETH Zurich since the year 2000. Girot's projects are all based on simple geometric and gestural movements. His concept of garden architecture begins with the modelling of the earth surface. The resulting topography is the basis of a restrained plant vocabulary.

Résumé:
Le premier volume de la collection "Arcadia" présente trois architectes paysagistes parisiens: Henri Bava, Michel Hoessler et Olivier Philippe. Sous le nom "Agence Ter", ils ont fondé ensemble une agence à Paris en 1986, une deuxième en Guyane française en 1988 et une troisième à Karlsruhe en 2000. Une œuvre étonnante est issue de cette constellation. Suite à des concours gagnés en Allemagne, Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas et grâce à l'enseignement d'Henri Bava à l'Université de Karlsruhe, l'influence de ces architectes s'étend au-delà des frontières nationales. Cette oeuvre ainsi que l'essai analytique de Jean Pierre Le Dantec, l'un des plus grands connaisseurs de l'architecture du paysage en France, est consacré aux travaux de l'Agence Ter qui développent la thématique de l'eau. Dans les jardins et les aménagements qu'elle propose, l'eau constitue souvent un thème important, voire central. Elément fugitif et à multiples facettes, elle déploie dans les jardins un potentiel poétique varié.

Résumé:
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Miroslav Šik has been recognised as one of the actively innovative and analytical spirits of the Swiss and German-speaking architectural discussion. His architecture is not spectacular, nor does he flirt with short-lived architectural trends. In a manner of speaking, Miroslav Šik seeks the subversive and powerful middle path between banal and over-ambitious architecture. His interest and attention is focused on the people who live in the buildings and populate the cites, and he is concerned with the necessary rather than the superfluous. The book introduces three recent works by the Zurich architect and professor at the ETH Zurich in subtle photographs by Christian Kerez and Walter Mayr, accompanied by plans. The high-quality texts draw attention to architectural cross-references and plumb the depths of the attributes of a powerful new whole that has emerged from a building complex. Selected texts by Miroslav Šik document the foundations of his rich theoretical basis.
