    Petro-modernity is a local phenomenon essential to the history of Kuwait, while also a global experience and one of the prime sources of climate change. The book investigates petroleum’s role in the visual culture of Kuwait to understand the intersecting ideologies of modernization, political representation, and oil. The notion of iridescence, the ambiguous yet mesmerizing effect of a rainbowlike color play, serves as analytical-aesthetic concept to discuss petroleum’s ambiguous contribution to modernity: both promise of prosperity and destructive force of socio-cultural and ecological environments. Covering a broad spectrum of historical material from aerial and color photography, visual arts, postage stamps, and master plans to architecture and also contemporary art from the Gulf, it dismantles petro- modernity’s visual legacy.

    "Living with History focuses on a particular aspect of heritage preservation in the 20th century: destruction and post-war reconstruction in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, and The Netherlands.

     

    This book establishes a status quaestionis for the historiography of wartime and post-war preservation, and sets these particular developments in preservation history in the context of the general evolution of architecture and urbanism. It studies the specific role of conservationists and heritage institutions and administrations in the overall reconstruction, and examines the specific role of architects and planners in preservation matters. Living with History se concentre sur un aspect particulier de la conservation du patrimoine au XXe siècle : les destructions et la reconstruction d’ après-guerre en Belgique, en France, en Allemagne, en Grande-Bretagne et aux Pays-Bas.

     

    Cet ouvrage dresse un état de la question sous l’ angle de l’ évolution d’ ensemble de l’ architecture et de l’ urbanisme. Il étudie le rôle des conservateurs et des institutions patrimoniales dans la reconstruction en général et examine le rôle spécifique des architectes et urbanistes dans les domaines liés à la conservation."

    From 1934 onwards, the city government provided funds to revive the construction industry and to push on with the renewal of the city. Many “outdated” and “traffic-obstructing” buildings were destroyed, facades were renovated by removing ornaments and structural elements which were then considered "worthless" and "tasteless”. This book deals with a chapter of the architectural and urban history of Vienna that has thus far been neglected, examines the “healing” of the city in its dimensions as well as the parallel discussions of experts, and compares the renewal of the city of Vienna with similar developments in other European countries in the 1930s. Die christlich-soziale Wiener Stadtregierung stellte ab 1934 finanzielle Mittel zur Verfügung, um die private Bauwirtschaft anzukurbeln und dadurch die „Stadtgesundung“ (Assanierung) voranzutreiben. Zahlreiche „veraltete“ und „verkehrsbehindernde“ Altbauten wurden abgetragen, Fassaden erneuert und dabei als „geschmacklos“ oder „wertlos“ bezeichnete Schmuck- und Gliederungselemente entfernt. Vorliegende Publikation arbeitet ein noch zu wenig beachtetes Kapitel der Architektur- und Stadtgeschichte Wiens auf, untersucht die Ausmaße der „Gesundungsmaßnahmen“ sowie den begleitenden Fachdiskurs und verortet die „Wiener Assanierung“ in der Entwicklung der Altstadtsanierung im Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit.

    Dedicated to housing courtly architectural models, Landgrave Karl founded the so-called Modellhaus at the beginning of the 18th-century, an unusual building which went on to become one of the most admired sights of its time. The collection included, most importantly, a monumental model of the most famous of all the Kassel artworks, namely the statue of Hercules overlooking the extensive Karlsberg gardens. Through recently discovered plans, files, and contemporary travel memoirs, this book retraces the story of this unique building and its collection which lasted almost a century, guiding us through Berlin, Saint Petersburg, and Paris, to reveal the continuing importance of models. Eigens für die fürstlichen Architekturmodelle ließ Landgraf Karl Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts das Modellhaus errichten, ein bis dato ungewöhnliches Gebäude, das eine vielbeachtete Sehenswürdigkeit seiner Zeit wurde. Darin befand sich auch das jegliche Maße sprengende Modell des berühmtesten Kasseler Kunstwerks, des Karlsbergs mit Herkules. Anhand neu erschlossener Pläne, Akten und zeitgenössischer Reisebeschreibungen wird hier erstmals die Geschichte dieses singulären Baus und seiner fast einhundertjährigen Sammlungsgeschichte nacherzählt und – mit Blicken auf Berlin, Sankt Petersburg und Paris – die anhaltende Bedeutung von Modellen nachgezeichnet.

    Where do the raw materials for the large-scale and process-promissing architectural and infrastructural projects in steel and concrete come from? How is architecture entangled with the global system of supply chains? Who benefits from the distribution of property? What are the working conditions on major European construction sites? And in German architectural offices? How is architecture produced today? The publication deals with environmental destruction and land grabbing by the cement industry in Indonesia and Vietnam, the methods of the sand mafia on the Mekong, and the extraction of lithium in Bolivia for the batteries of our smart cities. It sheds light on structural inequalities in land policy and the precarious employment conditions of those who make architecture, who are usually forgotten in the contemplation of spectacular new buildings. In this way, the forms of architectural governmentality become tangible.

    Unter der Maxime „Wien im Aufbau“ wurden im Ständestaat ab Mitte der 1930er Jahre nicht nur gezielt Altbauten abgerissen, sondern auch die Entfernung historischer Putzfassaden und Gliederungselemente gefördert. Neben der Verbesserung der Wohnverhältnisse und der Verkehrsbedingungen versprach man sich davon auch eine „Verschönerung“ des Stadtbildes. Die erste Untersuchung dieser Periode geht der Hypothese eines spezifischen, politisch motivierten, rigorosen Umgangs mit der Substanz und Struktur der Altstadt Wiens in diesen Jahren nach. Sie wertet verschiedene Archivquellen wie Pläne, Fotos und Schriften aus und leistet einen manuellen Abgleich diverser Stadtkarten. Das Buch zeigt den Zusammenhang von Stadtplanung und Politik auf und liefert über Wien hinaus neue Erkenntnisse zum Umgang mit historischer Bausubstanz.

    Der runde Bauhaus-Geburtstag gibt Anlass dazu, einen kritischen Blick auf sein Erbe in der Architektur der Gegenwart zu werfen: Was ist von den Idealen der Avantgarde übrig geblieben? Gibt es Grundsätze oder Methoden, die am Bauhaus praktiziert wurden und nach wie vor relevant sind? In diesem Buch gehen 10 internationale Autorinnen und Autoren der Frage nach, ob und wo das Bauhaus Spuren im zeitgenössischen Architekturgeschehen hinterlassen hat. Das politische Erbe der Moderne kommt in den Essays ebenso zur Sprache wie die Bedeutung von Bauhaus-Idealen für die kommerzialisierte und globalisierte Bauwirtschaft. Die einzelnen Beiträge erörtern die Fragen vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher kultureller Sichtweisen, welche die Autorinnen und Autoren aus den USA, aus Mexiko, Deutschland oder Spanien einbringen. Ein Fotoessay der Berliner Künstlerin von Friederike von Rauch mit Aufnahmen der Akademie der Künste im Hansaviertel begleitet die Texte. Das Gebäude nach dem Entwurf von Werner Düttmann und Sabine Schumann zählt mit zu den beeindruckendsten Beispielen der Nachkriegsarchitektur.

    In einer virtuellen Rekonstruktion werden der Sammlungsort der Universitätsbibliothek im Juleum zu Helmstedt, seine Ausstattung, die Objektsammlung und historische Schriftstücke im Bibliotheksarchiv erforscht. Der Name des einzigartigen Renaissancegebäudes erinnert an Herzog Julius, Gründer der Universität und der Hofbibliothek in Wolfenbüttel. Neu entdeckte Architekturzeichnungen von Georg Christoph Sturm zeigen, dass die 1759 eingerichtete Saalbibliothek ältere Bibliotheksräume ersetzte. Seine Raumkonzepte wurden zusammen mit handschriftlichen Inventaren, Bibliotheksordnungen, Katalogen und Korrespondenzen archiviert. Die Analyse der Dokumente zur Wissensorganisation wird in dieser Studie mit Ergebnissen zur Materialität und Benutzungsgeschichte historischer Hand- und Druckschriften verknüpft - so erhalten soziale Praktiken schärfere Konturen. Als die Universität 1810 geschlossen wurde, standen in der Saalbibliothek etwa 24.000 Bücher aus Nachlässen oder säkularisierten Klöstern. Hinzu kamen Belegexemplare oder Ankäufe bei Auktionen. Beschriebene oder erhaltene Gemälde, Münzen, Kuriositäten und Herbarien sind zur interdisziplinären Erforschung der Gelehrtenkultur und institutionellen Sammlungspraxis von besonderem Interesse

    During the creative act, the artist and the scientist both proceed through the decoding and recomposition of the realities they observe. Based on this method correspondence, art and science offer tools to study the inner or outer reality, looking at objects and situations and looking for correlations and interpretations, in an ideal relationship between the artist's study and the scientist's laboratory . Starting from this unitary vision of the cognitive processes, the interactions between chemistry and decorative arts, between chemistry and architecture and between chemistry and literature (poetry, theater, narrative) are examined, highlighting sometimes unexpected and surprising analogies and overlappings.

    Petro-modernity is a local phenomenon essential to the history of Kuwait, while also a global experience and one of the prime sources of climate change. The book investigates petroleum’s role in the visual culture of Kuwait to understand the intersecting ideologies of modernization, political representation, and oil. The notion of iridescence, the ambiguous yet mesmerizing effect of a rainbowlike color play, serves as analytical-aesthetic concept to discuss petroleum’s ambiguous contribution to modernity: both promise of prosperity and destructive force of socio-cultural and ecological environments. Covering a broad spectrum of historical material from aerial and color photography, visual arts, postage stamps, and master plans to architecture and also contemporary art from the Gulf, it dismantles petro- modernity’s visual legacy.

    "The relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes in space and in time. The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes. Additionally, the opening up of increasingly diverse collections of source material, often incomplete and difficult to interpret, has led to methodologically innovative experiments. One of today’s major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation—that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale.
