RE-USE ARCHITECTURE
Gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Umwälzungen bedeuten auch immer, dass Gebäude ihren Nutzen verlieren. Zahlreiche ihrer ursprünglichen Funktionen beraubter Bauten warten darauf, einem neuen Nutzen zugeführt zu werden. Durch das zunehmende ökologische Bewusstsein, aber auch aufgrund einer zunehmenden Wertschätzung jedweder bestehenden Bausubstanz, wird – auch aus wirtschaftlichen Erwägungen – immer häufiger statt Abriss auf Umnutzung entschieden. Diese bewegt sich in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen den Polen denkmalpflegerischer Anpassung und radikaler Neuinterpretation, zwischen bewusster Einbeziehung historischer Bedeutung und der wirtschaftlichen Nutzung der vorhandenen Substanz als Rohmaterial.

The Charged Void: Architecture
Alison and Peter Smithson, founders of Team X and authors of the classic Team X Primer, are among the most influential architects of the postwar decades. Their reevaluation of modernism shifted the focus of architecture and urbanism toward the particularities and uniqueness of human associations, urban patterns, and climatic conditions. Many of their ideas, both social (cluster and human association) and architectural (Brutalism, the nature of materials), profoundly influenced later generations of academics, students, and practitioners.

Skyscrapers
Like in the past the towers of the cathedrals, sky scrapers became the defining features of cityscapes with the advent of the 20th century. Since the turn of the millennium they are again among the most prestigious and coveted architectural challenges. The design freedom of contours and the plastic volume of blobs have long since superseded the purely orthogonal towers of the past. Most current projects are being implemented in the Arab-Asian realm, such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's highest building.

RECENT WATERSCAPES
Dostępność:na zamowienie After decades of being banished from residential areas, water is now becoming an increasingly significant feature in urban design. Whether it is the integration of natural water courses into the built environment, rainwater management, the incorporation of water elements in urban areas for climatic purposes or the creation of oases of tranquility or drama such as pools or fountains – all these aspects are not only encountering renewed interest among architects and urban planners, but they are also greeted with appreciation by the general public.

IN DETAIL: WORK ENVIROIMENTS
The requirements confronting our workplaces have recently undergone a dramatic transformation. Constantly shifting workspace populations and varying uses of workspace call for flexible spatial structures, and so do new professions and innovative working methods. The planning of workspaces is influenced by the digitalization of our storage media as well as by new materials and building technologies.

Rough Style : Architecture,...
What was once considered incomplete and in need of repair, is chic and hip today: in new office buildings copper pipes are no longer hidden, but are exposed and artfully displayed against the raw formwork pattern of a concrete wall with ingenious lighting. Likewise, the unplastered, cracked walls of a restaurant in a former factory building are creatively altered with translucent modern textile materials. Rough Style presents buildings and spaces by architects and interior designers who work out expressive and most rigorous design concepts. Refraining from the accustomed ideals of beauty and perfection is the new approach.
