Recognizing the dire threats of climate collapse and mass extinction, the global initiative Bauhaus Earth convened a team of scientists, architects, spatial planners, and policymakers from around the world to author a manifesto. Toward Re-Entanglement: A Charter for the City and the Earth is a call for radical transformation. It challenges all those with a role in the conception, production, operation, and governance of the building sector to address the systemic ecological, climatic, and social impacts incurred by its activities. 🌍🔥

Twelve principles of "re-entanglement" guide the redesign of the entire life cycle of the urban realm: the reforming and rematerializing of the physical artifacts that comprise it, the reconfiguring of the socioeconomic structures that underpin it, and the reengaging of the bioregions that might sustainably supply it. In this way, the unprecedented convergence of the environmental and social crises we are causing offers powerful opportunities for systemic change. 🏠♻️

The Charter is the first volume in the Bauhaus Earth Essay Series, featuring a wide array of critical voices that will address the complete overhaul of the built environment which the climate crisis demands of us. 🔄🌄

The series publications are available in English and German and are open access. Find them now here 🔗 https://www.jovis.de/en/series/BEE-B

How can city planners of the green building transition rethink and reuse what already exists, rather than perpetually looking for something new? What planning cultures does an open society need? What points of collaboration are missing between city officials and local stakeholders? 💡

This new book highlights Mannheim-Käfertal as a compelling case study to address these questions, given its exceptional transformation driven by the conversion of former military sites in the neighborhood. Piazza Spinelli demonstrates how complex urban environments can be reimagined, developed, and anchored in the local community. 🫂

Idyll and Ideology

This first English-language biography of Hermann Mattern (1902–1971), one of Germany’s principal twentieth-century landscape architects, critically assesses the idiosyncrasies of his organic-functionalist position while offering a new reading of German garden culture of his time. Mattern’s work embodies several themes of the German landscape discourse as well as the central ambivalence of his generation: a life spanning the artistic avant-garde of the 1920s and an apparently apolitical career under the N**i regime and in the postwar period. Based on comprehensive archival research, Hopstock’s richly illustrated study uncovers the professional networks, debates, and rivalries that shaped the profession of landscape architecture in Germany during its formative decades.

Book launch and discussion with Lars Hopstock, Adria Daraban und Anna Lundqvist

The event will be held in German.

Territorial Urbanism Now! calls for a paradigm shift in the conception of urban transformation. It urges us to favor sustainable systems in order to collectively tackle the challenges of climate change. Until now, urban planning and design professionals have integrated green and active mobility systems in the residual spaces available. In the reverse approach envisioned here, these systems become structuring elements of the territory, supported by a much more frugal built environment. 🌆🔄

The contributions by urbanists, artists, architects, and landscape architects in this publication come from research, practice, and teaching. Paola Viganò, Eric Luiten, Sandra Guinand—in conversation with Ali Madanipour, Chris Younes, Christian Schmid, Eric Wieërs, and Maarten Van Acker—Stefan Rettich, Tommaso Pietropolli, Elena Andonova, Julio de la Fuente, Natalia Gutierrez, Ward Verbakel, Claudia Bode, Philipp Misselwitz, Davide Curatola Soprana, Beatrice Galimberti, Lilli Lička, Hannes Groblacher, Johannes Bernsteiner, Stefan Devoldere, Anselm Wagner, Susanne Eliasson, Eva Pfannes, Jesse Honsa, and Stefan Bendiks not only introduce a much-needed paradigm shift, but also show us the premises for its realization. 🧠💡

The Infraordinary, Volume 20 in the series GAM - Graz Architecture Magazine, draws inspiration from Paul Virilio and Georges Perec's 1970s notion of l’infra-ordinaire, a term to describe the the habitual and ordinary—the opposite of the extraordinary. 🏢

Instead of glorifying or emphasizing the banal in architecture, GAM 20 highlights stories of the reconceptualization and revaluation of existing architecture, as well as its day-to-day use. In daily life, after all, architecture tends not to look the way it does in glossy magazines, on the websites of renowned architecture firms, or on Instagram. 🌟

NEW BOOK // Die Stadtstraße
Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebensfähigkeit der Stadt 13

Die Stadtstraße bildet das Rückgrat des öffentlichen Raums. Sie dient neben der Mobilität dem Einkaufen, dem Flanieren, der Unterhaltung und vielem anderem mehr. Sie ist ein städtischer Raum, der durch die Fassaden der Häuser gebildet und geprägt wird. Wie sollen Stadtstraßen unter heutigen Klimaanforderungen als einladende und charakteristische Stadträume gestaltet sein? 🚦

Die Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebensfähigkeit der Stadt widmet sich seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt grundlegenden Fragen der Stadtentwicklung. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes diskutieren Vertreter*innen unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen aus Theorie und Praxis sowie Planungsdezernent*innen deutscher Städte, wie sich die verkehrstechnischen und funktionalen Anforderungen an eine Stadtstraße mit ihren städtebaulichen, architektonischen und ökologischen Notwendigkeiten zusammenbringen lassen. 🏙

NEW BOOK // Are You a Model?
On an Architectural Medium of Spatial Exploration

Are You a Model? explores the model as architectural tool and practice. The volume approaches architectural models not as categorical objects but through questions such as: What determines a model’s functions and agencies? When in the design process does it unfold its power and when has it served its purpose?

Based on nine overarching questions, the book brings together interdisciplinary voices from architecture, art history as well as architectural and curatorial practice, and software engineering. 31 contributions interweave perspectives from various disciplines and geographies, and reveal surprising affinities rather than seeking conclusive answers. Models are thus not classified according to time of origin, genre, or material, but rather understood as an epistemologically diverse practice.

NEW BOOK // Idyll and Ideology
Hermann Mattern and the Landscape to Live In

Diese erste englischsprachige Biografie zu Hermann Mattern (1902–1971), einer Schlüsselfigur der Landschaftsarchitektur des 20. Jahrhunderts, setzt sich kritisch mit den Eigenheiten seiner organisch-funktionalistischen Entwurfshaltung auseinander und bietet dabei eine neue Lesart der deutschen Gartenkultur seiner Zeit. Matterns Werk steht exemplarisch für diverse Themen des deutschen Landschaftsdiskurses wie auch für die zentrale Ambivalenz seiner Generation: ein Leben, das sich von der künstlerischen Avantgarde der 1920er Jahre über eine scheinbar unpolitische Karriere unter dem N**i-Regime bis in die Nachkriegszeit erstreckt. Auf Basis umfassender Archivrecherchen deckt Hopstocks reich bebilderte Studie berufliche Netzwerke, Debatten und Rivalitäten auf, die während entscheidender Jahrzehnte die Landschaftsarchitektur-Profession in Deutschland prägten.

NEW BOOK // Der Kornversuchsspeicher in Berlin
Eine fotografische Langzeitstudie

Der 1897/98 gebaute und 1910 im Stil der Frühmoderne erweiterte Kornversuchsspeicher war zunächst ein Experimentalbauwerk für die optimale Lagerung von Getreide. Der konzeptionell ambitionierte Bau sollte Erkenntnisse für Speicherarchitekturen im ganzen Deutschen Reich liefern. Nach dem Ende der wissenschaftlichen Nutzung diente er über Jahrzehnte Speditionen als Lager, wurde von der Berliner Partyszene entdeckt und stand schließlich leer. Seit dem spektakulären Umbau von AFF Architekten zu einer Mischnutzung aus Büros, Galerie und Gastronomie ist der denkmalgeschützte Speicher eine Attraktion im Entwicklungsgebiet Europacity gegenüber dem Berliner Hauptbahnhof.

Der Berliner Fotograf Harf Zimmermann, Mitbegründer der international bekannten Agentur Ostkreuz, hat die Transformation über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren mit seiner analogen Großformatkamera begleitet und damit eine einzigartige Langzeitdokumentation zur jüngsten Geschichte des ikonischen Baus geschaffen. Die von ihm ebenso präzise wie atmosphärisch fotografierten Zustände lassen die Baustelle mal wie eine archäologische Ausgrabungsstätte wirken, dann wieder wie einen kompletten Neubau. Sein Fotoessay wird von einem aufwendig recherchierten und reich bebilderten Essay von Hans Georg Hiller von Gaertringen zur Geschichte des Baus begleitet. 📷🌆

Are our ideas of city landscapes skewed by glossy architectural visualizations and slick photography? What do actual urban public spaces look like after years of use and haphazard repairs? 💩🏙

Today’s media is saturated with images of architectural projects mummified in their ideal, untouched, and unused state. Design and technical publications on landscape architecture teach us how to do things based on best practices, which is why we rarely see landscape projects after they have been in use for years. 🏚

Sh*tscapes is a new, compact compilation of one hundred failures made in the design, construction, or maintenance processes of urban landscapes. Using these irritating mistakes as practical examples, the authors propose simple solutions to prevent future failed urban landscape architecture. 🚫🏗

NEW BOOK // Symbolische Orte machen
Ein Potenzial der Stadtentwicklung

Symbolic places endow physical spaces with meaning. They convey knowledge of historical events, share stories, and represent specific concerns. In the past, it was the responsibility of politicians and bureaucrats to create symbolic places, but now civil society is primarily taking on this role. 🏢 🌍

This captivating new book sheds light on the characteristics of symbolic places, exploring how they function and the challenges they face. The examples collected in these pages span from historically charged sites like Berlin's Olympic Grounds to places of collective self-empowerment such as the self-managed Navarinou Park in Athens. With contributions from esteemed authors in the fields of history, social science, and urban planning, readers are encouraged to engage with recognized—yet also controversial—symbolic places. Or, as suggested by the title of this anthology, to actively "make" them through collective discussions and decision-making processes. 🗺️ 🌇

NEW BOOK // The Icelandic Concrete Saga
Architecture and Construction (1847–1958)

“Many would consider a country without building materials uninhabitable.” With these words, Minister of Industry Gylfi Þorsteinsson Gíslason opened Iceland’s first and only cement plant in 1958. At the time, most rural and urban dwellings were still being built from local turf or expensive imported timber. Just a few decades later, Icelandic architects, engineers, and masons were building their country exclusively in concrete. 🏗️✨

How did this material become so popular that the first decades of the twentieth century are referred to as “the age of concrete”? The Icelandic Concrete Saga focuses on over one hundred years of Icelandic architecture, construction, and technology. It traces the history of an architecture in constant struggle with material scarcity and the natural elements, its outcomes intertwined with Icelandic politics, culture, and society. 🏰🌐

As we embark on this new year filled with excitement for what lies ahead, we are thrilled to share with you our Spring 2024 catalog ✨ From residential homes to neighborhood centers, from residual spaces to squares, from streets to parks: our spring releases shine a spotlight on urban transformation. To understand the ways cities can change, we recommend occasionally changing your perspective—and scale. In The Liebling Haus, we direct our attention to Tel Aviv and take a closer look: this biography of a residential building in the White City introduces a collaborative Israeli-German project. It tells the story of the house’s construction for married European refugees Tony and Max Liebling in 1936, its loving restoration, and its new use as a public home. However, it is not only the buildings of a city that require care and attention, but also the spaces in between. Territorial Urbanism Now! argues for nothing less than a paradigm shift in the evolution of urban planning and a reorientation toward public and unbuilt spaces to withstand climate change. The compact volume WohnWissen impressively demonstrates that large changes start small. The book leads readers on an entertaining journey through a much-debated field with helpful entries such as “C is for the common good”, “M is for money laundering” and “S is for single-family homes”. And because we are not just passionate about cities, but also about beautiful books, we are publishing our first-ever special edition: Beton & Nicht Beton is for the last remaining fans of concrete—hand-bound in the building material itself.
