Planning the Impossible
International airports have become an inherent part of many urban regions and key transport infrastructures for metropolitan economies. Yet they are also a source of tensions, often associated with the contrasting impacts of their operation. Taking the example of Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Paris, the author analyzes the factors influencing urban development and the related spatial strategies. Step by step, she traces the history of the airport, examines prominent conflicts and their management by planners, and derives broader lessons. Intended for town planners, policy makers, and urban designers, the book makes an important contribution to understanding the challenges and assessing the effectiveness of planning approaches for airport regions.

Architecture of Life
Explores how Soviet architects reimagined the built environment through the principles of the human sciences During the 1920s and 1930s, proponents of Soviet architecture looked to various principles within the human sciences in their efforts to formulate a methodological and theoretical basis for their modernist project. Architecture of Life delves into the foundations of this transdisciplinary and transnational endeavor, analyzing many facets of their radical approach and situating it within the context of other modernist movements that were developing concurrently across the globe. Examining the theories advanced by El Lissitzky, Moisei Ginzburg, and Nikolay Ladovsky, as well as those of ...

Space and Spatiality in Modern German-Jewish History
What makes a space Jewish? This wide-ranging volume revisits literal as well as metaphorical spaces in modern German history to examine the ways in which Jewishness has been attributed to them both within and outside of Jewish communities, and what the implications have been across different eras and social contexts. Working from an expansive concept of “the spatial,” these contributions look not only at physical sites but at professional, political, institutional, and imaginative realms, as well as historical Jewish experiences of spacelessness. Together, they encompass spaces as varied as early modern print shops and Weimar cinema, always pointing to the complex intertwining of German and Jewish identity.
Airports, Cities and Regions
Since the emergence of urban systems, cities have developed in a mutually inter-dependent process of socio-economic dynamics and transportation linkages. In recent years, Airports worldwide have stepped beyond the stage of being pure infrastructure facilities while the complex dynamics that are taking place at and around international airports represent a crucial element in the post-industrial reorganisation of urban and regional systems. Airports are increasingly recognized as general urban activity centres; that is, key assets for cities and regions as economic generators and catalysts of investment in addition to being critical components of efficient city infrastructure. This book brings...

Feed the City
Unser Ernährungssystem ist für rund ein Drittel der globalen Treibhausgasemissionen verantwortlich. Seine grundlegende Neuorganisation ist neben dem Wandel des Energiesektors eine der grossen Herausforderungen im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Die Hypothese, dass die Lebensmittelversorgung zukünftig kleinteiliger, regionaler und ökologischer sein wird, wirft unter anderem raumplanerische Fragen auf. Gefordert sind neue logistische Systeme, aber auch eine bauliche Infrastruktur, die entlang des gesamten lokalen Stoffkreislaufs der Ernährung eine regionale Wertschöpfung ermöglicht. Feed the City versammelt Beiträge von Expertinnen und Experten aus unterschiedlichen Fachgebieten. Anhand von realisierten Projekten aus den Bereichen Produktion, Logistik, Konsum und Weiterverwendung werden konkrete bauliche und planerische Strategien zu einem veränderten Ernährungssystem vorgestellt.
WohnSeiten
Wohnzeitschriften zeigen Seite für Seite ideale Wohnräume, Möbel und Dinge, sie vermitteln Einrichtungstipps und liefern Anleitungen zum vermeintlich richtigen Wohnen. Dabei wird Wohnen als erlern- und stetig optimierbar vorgeführt und gleichzeitig Teil gesellschaftlicher und politischer Prozesse und Zuschreibungen. In diesem Band werden hierzu Zeitschriften als Diskurs- und Displayformation untersucht. Historische und zeitgenössische Zeitschriften, Journale und mediale Verbünde mit einem Fokus auf Wohnpraktiken stehen dabei mit ihrer seriellen, auf ein didaktisches Programm ausgerichteten Ästhetik im Fokus. Durch spezifische Zeigestrategien werden Leser*innen als sozial und politisch Agierende, vergeschlechtlichte und konsumierende Subjekte in ihren Wohnweisen adressiert und zum Handeln aufgefordert.
