New Europe 1933-1945 Edition Axel Menges

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The term Europe has not always been under-stood in the same way. Depending on the period and influenced by the dominant interpreting elites at the time, it was always different features that were emphasised, "new" traditions that were§discovered and "created", and different values - specific to the period - that were claimed as European. Europe is a construct. That is as true today as in the period before 1945.§This monograph focuses on "Sachbücher" (nonfiction books), travelogues and literary-political writings by eight authors who played a key role in the discourse on Europe in the Third Reich and also partly in the early German Federal Re-public. One of them is Walter Kiaulehn. In World War II, in the periodical Signal, Kiaulehn draws up a European "family tree" of a somewhat different, totalitarian kind - naturally excluding semi-Asiatic Russia as well as England, "a refugee from Eu-rope". England has "swum off" in the direction of the USA. For Ernst Wilhelm Eschmann, Great§Britain and France belong to the "margins of Eu-rope" anyway, while the central powers, Germany and Italy, constitute the actual core of the continent. Europe evolves from the centre, and it is characteristically medial, balanced, mediating between tradition and progress. It is the others who are radical and have no appreciation for the middle course: the Americans with their skyscraper fantasies and the Bolsheviks with their anti-cultural tabula-rasa mentality. "The New Europe", on the other hand, is the continent where in accordance with a golden mean that has developed historically, a moderate Modernism takes shape. An instance of this is the "New Bari", the "favor-ite city of Fascism" that Gustav R. Hocke visits§in 1937 and in which, instead of giant high-rises, he encounters much smaller, six-storey buildings along the new waterfront promenade.§The term "The New Europe" became generally accepted in Germany during the 1930s, and by the beginning of World War II it was an integral part of the German discourse on Europe.§Carl Wege teaches at the University of Biele-feld. His research focuses on the interface of lit-erary studies, historiography and journalism. His most recent book is Buchstabe und Maschine. Beschreibung einer Allianz, published by Suhr-kamp Verlag. At present he is working on a new research project, titled "The construction of a community of values and of a shared destiny. The discourse on Finland in Germany from 1933 to 1945".

Jan Kaplicky Edition Axel Menges

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This is the first monograph on the life and work of the Czech born British architect Kaplicky (1937-2009). It is a fully comprehensive work based on a decade of research and is a distinctive portrait of one of the most distinguished architects and designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. At the same time it is an exploration into historical events, which influenced a number of talented artists, writers and designers, some of whom were forced, like Kaplicky, to emigrate from Czechoslovakia in order to expand their skills and search for beauty through living in freedom in democratic countries. After immigrating to the United Kingdom in 1968, Kaplick´y applied his imagination and diligence and enhanced his skills and aptitude, gaining admiration and respect following the co-founding of the innovative Future Systems studio in 1979. With his wide-ranging architectural and design oeuvre Kaplicky affirmed greatness of his immense talent and ability.The author was a friend, through their shared émigré life experience, giving him broad insight into the inception and realisation of this book. He searched family archives and referenced Kaplicky's private diaries. The author drew on everybody who had something important to say and gathered written memories and interviews from Kaplicky's friends, colleagues, partners and clients, which form the cornerstone of the monograph. His aim was to write a book that would mirror Kaplicky's life and work, a representation made up not only from the author's own point of view, but also according to others with whom Kaplicky had been in contact during his life.The book has many voices and has a kaleidoscopic format, which truly explores Kaplicky's complex personality and his creativity. It does not overwhelm with excessive information, but builds a picture of the man behind his designs and tells his story. The author presents Kaplicky's personal side with sensitivity and explains his dramatic decision-making.

Innovative Apartment Buildings Edition Axel Menges

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Current design of apartment buildings is facing challenges of philosophy and form. Past approaches no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking. The need for a new outlook is propelled by fundamental changes that touch upon environmental, economic, cultural and social aspects that led to the writing of this book. The depletion of non-renewable natural resources and climate change are a few of the environmental challenges that prompted designers to reconsider conceptual approaches in favour of ones that promote a better suitability between buildings and their environments. Concepts that minimize the building's carbon footprint, passive solar gain, net-zero structures and water harvesting system are some of the contemporary strategies that architects and builders are integrating into their thought processes and design. Increasing costs of material, labour, land and infrastructure have posed economic challenges with affordability being paramount among them. The need to do with less brings about concepts that include adaptable dwellings, and smaller-sized yet quality designed housing. Social challenges are also drawing attention. As the

Carlo Scarpa, Castelvecchio, Verona Edition Axel Menges

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Carlo Scarpa began to come into national prominence§with several designs for exhibitions.§The first were in Venice: "Paul Klee" (1948) for§the 1949 Biennale, "Giovanni Bellini" (1949) at§the Palazzo Ducale, "Toulouse Lautrec" (1952)§at the Palazzo Correr, and "Tiepolo" for the§1952 Biennale. Others followed: "Quattrocento"§(1953) at Messina town hall and "Piet Mondrian"§(1956) at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna§in Rome. Such commissions finally led him into§the design of museum interiors: among many,§his most celebrated were the Museo dell'Accademia§(1952-56) and the Museo Correr (1953§to 1969), both in Venice, the Palazzo Abbatellis§(1953/54) in Palermo, the Gipsoteca Canoviana§in Possagno (1955-57) and the Museo di Castelvecchio§(1956-64) in Verona. Scarpa's exhibit designs§and museum interiors present a different§way of seeing. On the one hand, seeing the object§through provision of a sympathetic setting§for it; on the other, seeing contemporary "modern§" architecture in the context of the cultural§continuum that has carried it to where it now§momentarily hovers. The Museo di Castelvecchio§was developed on the bombed ruins of the§Scaligery family's medieval castle in Verona. First§commissioned to redesign the oldest section of§the building, Scarpa was later asked to complete§the museum. The work is a monument to Scarpa's§sensibilties about time and place. According§to critic Nory Miller he "achieved an extraordinary§coexistence involving architecture of different§centuries, including this one ... without§the crutches of neutral glass linkages, uniform§materials, or historical references ... Each angle,§shape, surface is chosen to engage the attention§or participation of the visitor." Indeed, the symbiosis§between Scarpa's work and the surviving§fabric is such that differences are hardly apparent.§With his infinitive capacity for fine detailing,§he touched the past lightly; because he was so§conscious of continuity the museum gives the§"sense that construction has been supended".§(After Donald Leslie Johnson and Donald Langmead.)§Valeria Carullo is curator of the Robert Elwall§Photographs Collection in the Royal Institute of§British Architects, Paola Marini is director and§Alba Di Lieto curator of the Musei d'Arte Monumenti§of the city of Verona. Richard Bryant is§one of the best-known architectural photographers,§working all over the world. He is the only§photographer with an honorary fellowship of§the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Hans Dieter Schaal Work in Progress Edition Axel Menges

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

From the 1970s to the present day there is scarcely an architect who has produced such pioneering work as a creative explorer of limits, lateral thinker and stimulating inspirational figure than Hans Dieter Schaal. With a high level of professionalism Schaal has regularly provided us with essential food for thought and hypotheses as an architect, painter, sculptor, draughtsman, designer, garden and stage designer, Utopian, philosopher and author. His work has always been driven not by superficial effects, but by existential statement on what surrounds us in terms of facts and things that are concealed or suppressed. Schaals artistic statements have elicited responses at home and abroad and have influenced whole generations of younger designers to a considerable extent. Thus Schaal embodies an ideal artistic type that one rarely comes across, known in the Renaissance as uomo universale. As anticipated for some time now, the current volume explores all facets of this complex and fruitful uvre, revealing above all its synergetic interrelationships. In addition to this Schaals thought and action patterns as relevant in terms of art and architectural history are emphasized in this comparative survey of his work, and their efficacy demonstrated. An extensive catalogue of Schaals work rounds the volume off. Thus the present volume offers an indispensable encyclopedia of the lifes work of one of the truly creative design artists of our day.
