This companion investigates the ways in which designers, architects, and planners address ecology through the built environment by integrating ecological ideas and ecological thinking into discussions of urbanism, society, culture, and design. Exploring the innovation of materials, habitats, landscapes, and infrastructures, it furthers novel ecotopian ideas and ways of living, including human-made settings on water, in outer space, and in extreme environments and climatic conditions. Chapters of this extensive collection on ecotopian design are grouped under five different ecological perspectives: design manifestos and ecological theories, anthropocentric transformative design concepts, design connectivity, climatic design, and social design. Contributors provide plausible, sustainable design ideas that promote resiliency, health, and well-being for all living things, while taking our changing lifestyles into consideration. This volume encourages creative thinking in the face of ongoing environmental damage, with a view to making design decisions in the interest of the planet and its inhabitants. With contributions from over 79 expert practitioners, educators, scientists, researchers, and theoreticians, as well as planners, architects, and engineers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, this book engages theory, history, technology, engineering, and science, as well as the human aspects of ecotopian design thinking and its implications for the outlook of the planet.

While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthor's oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale. This small, beautifully designed book records the conversation between Zumthor and Lending, accompanied by photographs taken by the renowned Swiss architectural photographer H l ne Binet. The resulting book is a surprisingly revelatory view of one of the most interesting and restlessly creative architects of our era.

Hier ist sie endlich - die langersehnte überarbeitete 3. Auflage des Klassikers in neuer Aufmachung: mit Hunderten neuer Illustrationen und neuen Technologien im Bereich 'Graphic Thinking' (bildhaftes Denken). Komplett aktualisiert, mit Computeranimationen für digitale und andere Kommunikationsmedien. Diskutiert werden u.a. folgende Themen: Grundlagen für Freihandzeichnen, Fertigen von Symbolzeichnungen, Notizen in Bildern und Diagrammen - alles im Kontext moderner Architektur und aktuellem Design. Der Begriff 'Graphic Thinking' beschreibt, welche Tools, Zeichen- und Skizziermethoden Architekten und Studenten verwenden, um eine Designlösung zu finden. In der Architektur wird diese Form des Denkens im allgemeinen mit der Entwurfsphase eines Projektes assoziiert - ein Zusammenspiel von Denken und Skizzieren. (y09/00)
