bauen, retten, pflegenTexte zur Bauwende

Im Bauwesen hatte die Zeitenwende sich lange angekündigt: in Befunden, Warnungen, Bekenntnissen. Seit die Hinterlassenschaften des Bauens – maroder Altbestand, Brachen, Schutt und Emissionen – mehr Aufmerksamkeit finden als die Bauten selbst, müssen die Architektur, der Städte- und Landschaftsbau und auch die Denkmalpflege den Kurs wechseln.

Seizing JerusalemThe Architectures of Unilateral Unification

After seizing Jerusalem’s eastern precincts from Jordan at the conclusion of the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel unilaterally unified the city and plunged into an ambitious building program, eager to transform the very meaning of one of the world’s most emotionally charged urban spaces.

Architecture's Historical TurnPhenomenology and the Rise of the Postmodern

Architecture’s Historical Turn traces the hidden history of architectural phenomenology, a movement that reflected a key turning point in the early phases of postmodernism and a legitimating source for those architects who first dared to confront history as an intellectual problem and not merely as a stylistic question. Jorge Otero-Pailos shows how architectural phenomenology radically t…
