Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Originally borrowed from literary studies, the term 'degree zero' has evolved, since the 1960s, into a familiar trope in architectural theory and criticism. First conceptualized in Roland Barthes's seminal book, Le degré zéro de l'écriture, it has been deployed as a discursive and conceptual tool for articulating diverse architectural practices-projectual, theoretical, speculative, critical, or academic. This edited volume, Degree Zero in Architecture, examines how the idea of degree zero, entangling the notions of form, value, and authorship, has catalyzed-and continues to deepen- critical reflections on architectural practices and their formalizations. The fifteen essays in this collection interrogate architectural forms and forms of architectural knowledge, examining their positioning in the field based on the set of values they embody and the nature of the forms they shape.Lyna Bourouiba is an architect and a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Architecture (La Cambre Horta), ULB, Brussels. Wouter Van Acker is an engineer-architect and associate professor at the Faculty of Architecture (La Cambre Horta), ULB, Brussels.; Der ursprünglich aus der Literaturtheorie stammende Begriff 'degree zero' (Nullpunkt) hat sich seit den 1960er Jahren als Topos der Architekturtheorie und -kritik etabliert. Entwickelt hat ihn Roland Barthes in seinem einflussreichen Buch Am Nullpunkt der Literatur, später wurde er zum Tool in der diskursiven und konzeptuellen Formulierung verschiedenster architektonischer Praktiken (ob projektbezogen, theoretisch, spekulativ, kritisch oder akademisch). Der Sammelband Degree Zero in Architecture erkundet, wie die Vorstellung eines Nullpunktes, die Fragen der Form, des Werts und der Autorschaft verknüpft, ein kritisches Nachdenken über architektonische Praktiken und ihre Formalisierung angestoßen hat und dieses auch weiterhin vertieft. Die 15 Beiträge in diesem Buch untersuchen architektonische Formen und Formen architektonischen Wissens und verorten diese anhand der in ihnen zum Ausdruck kommenden Werte und der in ihnen gefunden Formen im Feld.Lyna Bourouiba ist Architektin und Doktorandin an der Fakultät für Architektur (La Cambre Horta) der ULB Brüssel.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Whatever 'ugliness' is, it remains a problematic category in architectural aesthetics - alternately vilified and appropriated, either to shock or to invert conventions of architecture.This book presents eighteen new essays which rethink ugliness in architecture - from brutalism to eclectic postmodern architectural productions - and together offer a diverse reappraisal of the history and theory of postmodern architecture and design. The essays address both broad theoretical questions on ugliness and postmodern aesthetics, as well as more specific analyses of significant architectural examples dating from the last decades of the twentieth century, addressing the relation between the aesthetic register of ugliness and aesthetic concepts such as brutalism, kitsch, the formless, ad hoc-ism, the monstrous, or the grotesque.Architecture and Ugliness not only documents the history of a postmodern anti-aesthetic through a diverse set of case studies, it also sheds valuable light on an aesthetic problem which has been largely overlooked in architectural discourse. It is essential reading for all students and scholars with an interest in postmodern architectural history, architectural theory and aesthetics. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts geriet das Dokumentationswesen in eine Krise: wie lässt sich das kulturelle Wissen nachhaltiger organisieren Paul Otlet (1868-1944), ein belgischer Industriellenerbe und studierter Rechtsanwalt, entwickelte zusammen mit Henri La Fontaine ab 1895 ein Ordnungs- und Klassifikationssystem, das das millionenfach publizierte 'Weltwissen' dokumentieren sollte. Otlets Anspruch war die Schaffung eines 'Instrument d'ubiquité', das zur 'Hyper-Intelligence' führen sollte. Jahrzehnte vor Web und Wikis weisen diese Ideen auf eine globale Vernetzung des Wissens hin.Der vorliegende Titel erinnert an den Pionier Paul Otlet mit einer ausführlichen Einleitung von Frank Hartmann (Bauhaus-Universität Weimar), Beiträgen von W. Boyd Rayward (University of Illinois), Charles van denHeuvel (Königlich Niederländische Akademie der Wissenschaften) und Wouter Van Acker (Universität Gent).…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Whatever 'ugliness' is, it remains a problematic category in architectural aesthetics - alternately vilified and appropriated, used either to shock or to invert conventions of architecture.This book presents sixteen new scholarly essays which rethink ugliness in recent architecture - from Brutalism to eclectic postmodern architectural productions - and together offer a diverse reappraisal of the history and theory of postmodern architecture and design. The essays address both broad theoretical questions on ugliness and postmodern aesthetics, as well as more specific analyses of significant architectural examples dating from the last decades of the twentieth century. The book attends to the diverse relations between the aesthetic register of ugliness and closely connected aesthetic concepts such as the monstrous, the ordinary, disgust, the excessive, the grotesque, the interesting, the impure and the sublime.This volume does not simply document the history of a postmodern anti-aesthetic through case studies. Instead, it aims to shed light on aesthetic problems that have been largely overlooked in the agenda of architectural theory. This book answers in detail the questions: How did postmodern architects appropriate troublesome contradictions bound to the raw ugliness of the real How have the ugly and the antiaesthetic been a productive force in postmodern architecture How can ugliness be of value to architecture And how can architecture make good use of ugliness.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Union of International Associations (UIA) was founded in 1910, aiming to coordinate the relations and interests of international organizations across the world. Its long history makes it a prism through which to study the field of international organizations and its dynamics. Bringing together experts from fields including history, political science and international relations, architecture, historical sociology, digital humanities and information studies, International Organizations and Global Civil Society is the first scholarly book to cover both the UIA's early years and its more recent past. Key issues explored include the UIA's importance for the field of scientific internationalism, the relations between the UIA and other international organizations, and the changing position of the UIA when facing geopolitical challenges such as totalitarianism, the World Wars and the Cold War.This important book addresses a number of current scholarly concerns: the concept of 'global civil society'; the development of international relations as a field of study; the investigation of transnational factors in modern and contemporary history; and the tracing of forerunners to the 'information society'.…
