Studium & Ausbildung

Das Feld der Architektur für die Erwachsenen- und Berufsbildung reicht von Neubauten für die Ausbildungsgänge, die vor wenigen Jahrzehnten noch gar nicht existierten, bis zu Erweiterungen von Universitäten, die seit der frühen Neuzeit wachsen. Entsprechend der fortschreitenden Differenzierung der Gesellschaft, der Forschung und der Berufsbilder, müssen sich diese Gebäude wandeln. Der Anteil höherer Bildung in unserer Gesellschaft wächst stetig, deshalb muss auch die Menge der Räume ausgebaut werden. Zudem sind umfangreiche Sanierungen und energetische Ertüchtigungen nötig. Dabei sollen die Gebäude funktional sein und passenden Raum zum Lernen und Lehren bieten. Die Architekten und Architektinnen stehen vor der Herausforderung, unterschiedliche Fächer mit unterschiedlichen Anforderungen in Gebäuden unterzubringen. ¿Hochschulen ¿ Bauten für die berufliche und Erwachsenenbildung¿ umfasst 44 Projekte, darunter Häuser für Klassen- und Seminarräume, Architektur mit Vorlesungssälen und viele weitere spezifische Bauten für den Lehrbetrieb. Oft sind die Gebäude architektonische Prestigeobjekte für die Bildungsträger und die Städte. Alle sind hervorragende Beispiele für Bildungsbauten einer neuen Generation.

This revised edition of Exercises in Architecture: Learning to Think as an Architect is full of new content, building on the success of the previous edition. All the original exercises have been revised and new ones added, with the format changing to allow the inclusion of more supplementary material. The aim remains the same, to help pre- or early-course architecture students begin and develop their ability to think as architects.Learning to do architecture is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand, to walk, to sit, to hide, to sleep, to cook, to eat, to work, to play, to worship...This book was written for those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges, or as self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional education.Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author's previous book Analysing Architecture: the Universal Language of Place-Making (fifth edition, 2021) and demonstrated in his Twenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge, 2015). Together, the three books, deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline: 1. Analysing Architecture provides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding of the way architecture works; 2. Twenty-Five Buildings explores and extends that methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. Exercises in Architecture offers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises.Those who wish to become professional architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn the universal language of architecture as place-making, to explore its powers and how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help.

The latest edition of the University of Virginia School of Architecture's design journal, LUNCH 15 turns to the concept of Thickness and considers what possibilities lie in poché, thick description, thin assemblies, and in the many layers of the built environment. <BR>The issue considers Thickness in four sections: "Places" navigates the ways we understand the spaces in which we live and work. "Materials" delaminates the building blocks of our world and how we know them. "Representation" traces the many forms and layers of communication through which we see or that might obscure our vision. Finally, "Relations" follows threads that bind. In a world operating between the thick and thin of it, how will your lines be drawn?

Die sakralen Räume deutscher Städte haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten an Vielfalt gewonnen. Neben etablierten Institutionen erheben neue Stimmen Anspruch auf Partizipation im Neben- und Miteinander religiöser Ideen wie auch im architektonischen Ausdruck. Sakralität im Wandel dokumentiert diese sakraltopografischen Veränderungen seit 1990 sowohl in quantitativer als auch in qualitativer Hinsicht am Beispiel jüdischer, christlicher und muslimischer Sakralbauten. Es thematisiert das Ringen um die urbane Sichtbarkeit und leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur übergeordneten Fragestellung, wie Architektur einerseits Ausdruck gesellschaftlicher Ordnungen und andererseits zugleich sozial wirksam sein kann.

Pressing Matters is an exciting design and research compilation from PennDesign's Department of Architecture, featuring recent student work, news, important symposia and lectures. Society faces many challenges: global warming and environmental change, pollution and waste, transition to new energy and resource economies, the redistribution and reorganization of political and economic power worldwide; globalization of the construction and development industries, population growth, shrinkage and migration; urban intensification and attrition; privatization of public sector activities; and the transformation of cultural identities and social institutions. We seek to bring the expansion of expertise and creativity in architecture to bear on these challenges with a goal to be at the forefront of advanced research & design by creating an advanced research institute that focuses on new design methodologies and future manufacturing through the interlinked intelligence of digital design, scripting and robotics. Printed on recycled paper with non-toxic inks, Pressing Matters focuses on social awareness and responsibility, and endeavors to be a think-tank for critical exchange and advanced debate within and across disciplinary boundaries. We are a connective device linking invited experts for ongoing lectures and publications to a growing international audience and an increasing network of experts.

Due to the rapid growth of population within China, there is an ever-increasing need for landscape design. And a new generation is attending China's Universities, eager to improve the living environment. Tsinghua University pioneered the movement of landscape architecture in education, in China. With its international starting point and broad insight into local practice, analysis of research, excellent student work, and a summary of research publication and papers, Landscape Architecture at Tsinghua University: Sixty Years of Excellence, provides a full and vivid picture of the landscape program at Tsinghua.

Theories and Practices of Architectural Representation focuses on the study of architectural knowledge approached through the lens of representation: the making of things-about-buildings. Architectural knowledge systems continue to shift away from traditional means, such as books and photographs, into modes dominated by digital technologies

The principal messages of this Notebook are that it is by place-making we make sense of the space of the world in which we live, and that the first step in becoming a professional architect is to re-awaken the innate architect inside each of us.
