Die Architektur des RealenPlädoyer gegen die Bilderflut in der Baukultur

In der zeitgenössischen Kultur hat die inflationäre Ausbreitung des Bildhaften zu einer Implosion der Inhalte geführt. Darum plädiert Bernhard Denkinger für eine Architektur, die nicht vom Bildhaften ausgeht. Im Fokus seiner Untersuchung stehen zwei unterschiedliche Zugänge realistischer Strömungen der Moderne: Die frühen Funktionalisten, Team Ten oder die Populisten der 1960er-Jahre de…

Build Beyond ZeroNew Ideas for Carbon-Smart Architecture

"Net Zero" has been an effective rallying cry for the green building movement, signaling a goal of having every building generate at least as much energy as it uses. Enormous strides have been made in improving the performance of every type of new building, and even more importantly, renovating the vast and energy-inefficient collection of existing buildings in every country. If we ca…

Henry of Monmouth, deriving his inspiration from the past, was the champion of unity again…

The New Carbon ArchitectureBuilding to Cool the Climate

Soak up carbon into beautiful, healthy buildings that heal the climate "Green buildings" that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren't enough.

With the built environment doubling by 2030, buildin…
