Es ist unbestritten, dass Mies van der Rohe als einer der bedeutendsten Architekten der Moderne gilt. Aber wie verhalten sich seine Uberlegungen und Ideale zur Architektur in seinem gebauten - und teils auch ungebauten - Werk? Dieser Frage geht das Buch anhand von 14 Projekten Mies' nach. Dabei stehen Detaillierung und Materialwahl im Vordergrund. Die Bauten umfassen, beim Haus Esters und Haus Lange (1927-30) beginnend, uber das Haus Tugendhat (1928-30), den Barcelona-Pavillion (1928-29), das Farnsworth House (1946-51), den Lake Shore Drive (1948-51) bis hin zur Neuen Nationalgalerie...

Architekten sind es gewohnt, visuell zu entwerfen. Um ihre Entwurfsgrundlagen zu erweitern, stellt dieses Buch die Zusammenhange zwischen Klang, Raum, Horen und Architektur dar. Dafur nutzt der Autor zeitgenossische wie historische Bauten und Projekte, aber auch fiktionale, philosophische und theoretische Ansatze: schliesslich soll der Klang nicht nur als Quelle, sondern auch als Instrument des architektonischen Raums definiert werden. Durch die Einfuhrung in eine Metatheorie des "kritischen Horens" konnen die Entwerfenden ihre Projekte bereits in der Entwurfsphase akustisch prufen und...

LabStudio: Design Research between Architecture and Biology introduces the concept of the research design laboratory in which funded research and trans-disciplinary participants achieve radical advances in science, design, and applied architectural practice. The book demonstrates to natural scientists and architects alike new approaches to more traditional design studio and hypothesis-led research that are complementary, iterative, experimental, and reciprocal. These originate from 3-D spatial biology and generative design in architecture, creating philosophies and practices that...

The Green Studio Handbook remains an essential resource for design studios and professional practice. This extensive and user-friendly tool presents practical guidelines for the application of green strategies during the schematic design of buildings. Students and professionals can quickly get up to speed on system viability and sizing. Each of forty-three environmental strategies includes a brief description of principles and concepts, step-by-step guidance for integrating the strategy during the early stages of design, annotated tables and charts to assist with preliminary...

It is understood that Mies van der Rohe is one of the most important architects of the Modern movement. But how do Mies' ideas on architecture and on the logic of construction relate to his built - and sometimes unbuilt - oeuvre? This book investigates this question based on 14 projects, with a focus on the choice of detail and material. Specially produced three-dimensional drawings provide an easy-to-understand analysis of Mies' construction concepts.

The projects include Lange and Esters Houses (1927-30), Tugendhat House (1928-30), the Barcelona Pavilion (1928-29), Farnsworth...
