[.en] BIG is an internationally operating creative group of architects, designers, urban and landscape planners, interior and product designers, researchers and inventors. The architecture of BIG is created on the basis of an observation of the environment and is suitable for a contemporary form of living. The secret of their architecture lies in the combination of utopia and pragmatism. This monograph shows how this can work. From small projects to a gigantic housing block, from urban space to museum – everything that makes urban architecture fascinating is included. This monograph presents 19 exciting projects from BIG’s creative workshop. It invites to a new experience of architecture.

[.en] In 2003, the Sion-born architect Alain Wolff founded his architectural office in Lausanne. Since then, a number of remarkable buildings have been produced – mainly in rural areas. For instance the Ecole de la Verrerie is carefully integrated into the surroundings and impresses with its materialisation in wood and concrete. The arrangement of the classrooms and sports hall resembles a well-balanced organism.

[.en] This book takes a fresh look at Plattenbauten, the iconic residential buildings that Berliners love to hate; celebrating the beauty of their textural details and discovering a microcosm of 20th-century urbanism in the story of their construction. Made from prefabricated concrete panels, Plattenbauten rose from the ruins of Berlin, providing a quick and inexpensive solution to the severe housing shortage faced by the city after World War II. Although criticized in their day for their sterility and impersonal scale, they nonetheless became an integral part of the city. Drawn from his extensive investigations into Berlin’s urban landscape, Jesse Simon’s texts and photographs offer a convincing argument for the aesthetic and social value of buildings that were once described as ‘eyesores’. Focused on urban developments constructed between the 1950s and the early 1990s, the book is structured geographically, devoting equal attention to the former East and West. It includes more than 200 images filled with warm light and saturated hues, revealing a diversity of color and detail that may often be lost on the casual observer. It also illustrates how, despite vast differences in political ideologies, both East and West Berlin employed remarkably similar approaches to the creation of new urban spaces. For fans of Brutalism and Modernism, ‘Plattenbau Berlin’ is both an engaging reconsideration of postwar urbanism, and a unique entry point for exploring Berlin’s history and architecture.

[.en] Hospital architecture reflects society in a state of flux. How do we care for our patients? What kind of working environments do we offer caregivers? How are hospitals integrated into our cities? When planning a hospital, architects are not only faced with the challenge of sensibly merging aspects of function and construction. They also design spaces that temporarily serve employees, patients and relatives as a working and living environment. Christine Nickl-Weller and Hans Nickl have been engaging with questions of hospital construction for 40 years. Drawing on their wealth of experience in both practical work and academic research, they view the hospital on different levels: from the context of urban structures and social developments, as a highly specialised building type with its own functional requirements, as a place of work and healing with all of its dimensions of everyday life, and with respect to issues of internal and external design. This holistic perspective on hospital construction is enriched by texts by renowned authors from a range of disciplines, such as healthcare management, psychology, landscape architecture and art history.

[.en] For the past 20 years, Bernhard Winking and Martin Froh have been active along the entire spectrum of architecture and urban planning in Europe and China. With their award-winning redevelopment of Spiegel-Insel in Hamburg and the addition to the Esplanade, Winking · Froh Architekten have demonstrated in exemplary fashion how ensembles of post-war modernism can be preserved in a manner appropriate to their status as historic monuments yet further developed in a contemporary manner. Their residential buildings – in Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg and other places – are distinctive yet blend into their respective surroundings and use sustainable and durable materials. Sparing use of sculptural design elements goes hand in hand with attractive floor plans. Another aspect of their work is urban development projects such as Europaplatz in Heidelberg and Book City in Ningbo.

[.en] In 2013, Lilitt Bollinger founded her own office in Nuglar near Basel. Since then, the office has produced a number of refined conversions that are entirely developed out of the atmosphere of the building and location. The pronounced affinity to construction and spatial expression gives the buildings their unique atmosphere.

Wohnatelierhaus altes Weinlager (2019)
https://www.atlasofplaces.com/architecture/wohnatelierhaus-altes-weinlager/

As part of the urban and cultural history of the municipality of Nuglar, the wine warehouse contributed with its distinctive volume and its own identity. From the south, it formed the prelude to the old village centre. The building volume is slightly set back from the Liestalerstrasse and is embedded in the natural terrain. A small outdoor square on the north side connects the building with the buildings on Byfangstrasse (warehouse and distillery) via a connecting tunnel.

The new construction/conversion project plans to rebuild only the upper floors of the wine warehouse and to remain in an identical urban context with the help of a new, slightly reduced building volume. The existing base with the hall-like basement and the garage will be retained as a basement. Its outer walls form the platform on which the new building will be erected. The new structure is based on the idea of the old building with a massive volume under a large cantilevered roof. The new building will be constructed as a wooden structure, the basic structure is based on the existing structure of the basement with its mushroom-shaped supports.

A studio/residential building will be constructed, consisting of six adjacent units, which will be acquired as condominium property. These have a very simple, inexpensive basic structure and can be further developed by the residents individually, e.g. by adding a further upper floor, partially or over the entire area or dividing the area into rooms. A unit is initially a single room on the ground floor with a room height of 8 m with a basic structure to be defined even more precisely, such as kitchen, bathroom, stairs and basic installations. A simple system makes it possible to install floors for two additional floors.The residential units are oriented towards east and west with room-high glazing. The residents jointly own and design the outside areas and the floors.

It represents “architecture without architects” while also being a nonchalant solution for a common architectural programme in the midst of an inhospitable residual zone. The 2013 “House of Switzerland” in Sochi (Russia) is intelligently derived from the same approach.

[.en] The Frankfurt-based architecture firm Stefan Forster Architekten (SFA) has from its founding in 1989 maintained a special focus on housing. They made their name in the years following Germany’s reunification, when dozens of prefabricated ‘plattenbauten’ in the former GDR needed refurbishment and modernization. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding housing structures, SFA carefully adjusted existing buildings to the new needs of fewer people and more humanness in the shrinking cities of the newly formed federal states in the reunited country’s east.

Since then, SFA have moved on, exploring the topic of housing in increasingly dense metropolitan environments and creating a remarkable and manifold body of work in this field. Their designs comprise large-scale public multiunit blocs, townhouses, at times by way of transforming former office and public administration buildings. ‘Stefan Forster Architekten: Housing 1989–2019’, the firm’s first-ever monograph, features thirty designs that exemplify SFA’s approach and philosophy and highlights how the firm has continuously worked on raising the standards of residential architecture.

‘Stefan Forster’ founded his own architecture firm in 1989 in Darmstadt, today located in Frankfurt, after having worked in Berlin and Mannheim.

[.en] The presented residential projects in Vienna originated from a desire to develop living concepts that strengthen the sense of community and contribute to a society based on solidarity - building groups and participative projects, neighbourhood homes, temporary or permanent social forms of living and working for marginalised groups such as the homeless. Private homes can be downsized if there are more communal spaces. This reduces the need for land and property and gives the community room for leisure and other opportunities. Ulrike Schartner and Alexander Hagner from gaupenraup+/- explain the starting point and strategies of their work. Robert Temel and Isabella Marboe present the development of communal forms of building and living based on important precursors and trends.

[.en] When Antje Freiesleben and Johannes Modersohn opened their own Berlin-based firm Modersohn & Freiesleben Architekten in 1994, the city, which had been divided until 1989, needed to be repaired and re-united. The Potsdamer Platz train station and the office block in the Beisheim Centre in Ebertstrasse, close to this central and now revitalized location, are two significant projects that were designed by the firm in the prevalent spirit of urban renewal of those years. After the millennium, the architects further honed their approach: whether in the city or the countryside, Modersohn & Freiesleben consistently develop the character of their projects in terms of the site, the materials, the construction, and the lives of their clients. Their deliberate engagement with the given environment while simultaneously aiming at an inventive individuality has created an architecture that ensures their houses are functional objects that combine sustainability with aesthetics. This new monograph features twelve built houses alongside other projects from the last two decades. They are located in Berlin, Brandenburg, Sweden, and Canada.

[.en] The history of housing can also be told as the (cultural) history of a city from its agricultural settlement by the Celts to the social housing of the present. Within this dual history, political and economic developments, as well as social norms, came to be reflected in forms of housing that, at the end of the twentieth century, increasingly drew critique. Under the influence of international developments, this has led to the diversity characterizing society and housing construction today. In this book, Wolfgang Förster initiator of the International Building Exhibition ‘Vienna: New Social Housing’ explores how the sociocultural history of a city can be told through the development of its housing.
