• Art and Architecture

• Strategies in Collaboration

Since the beginning of the 20th century, artists andarchitects have often been in collaboration. Thisrelationship was not necessarily without conflict –on the contrary, a productive tension and frictioncan often be found at the basis of their commonendeavors. However, wherever art and architectureestablish a common territory in the public arena,highly integrated schemes may result that are ofparticular appeal and quality. In recent years, thebarriers between art and architecture have comedown even further; while many artists are attractedto the spatial presence of architecture and itslanguage and scale, contemporary architects alsoseek the inspiration of art and include artisticconcepts into their designs. Great works ofart/architecture have resulted from thesecooperations and this book explores them in ninechapters from 1914 up to the present, highlightingthe most striking examples of these interdisciplinaryactivities such as the LACMA scheme by RenzoPiano/Jeff Koons in Los Angeles, the Chichu ArtMuseum by Tadao Ando with its installation byWalter de Maria, the British Pavilion at the VeniceBiennale by David Adjaye with artist Chris Ofili orthe work by Keith Sonnier in the Munich Re Buildingby Baumschlager Eberle.

This book presents athorough investigation of the current situation inJerusalem from a trilateral perspective: Israeli,Palestinian, and international experts air their views.The discussion centers on the production and useof urban space under the conditions created by theconflict, including, for example, the so-calledsecurity fence, urban enclaves, exclaves, theapproach to monuments and no-man's-land, andthe instrumentalization of infrastructures, whichleads to the crass juxtaposition of highly developedand impoverished urban spaces. The conflict,however, does not bring with it destruction andviolence alone, but also exhibits ambivalent effectsand, along with them, new cultural and urbanrealities. Jerusalem has become a prototype in theage of new urban violence

• Design by Use

• The Everyday Metamorphosis of Things

This publication explores and analyzes a very specialkind of design – the phenomenon, as normal as it iswonderful, in which people with no formal training indesign take things that have already been designedand reuse them, convert them to new uses, in short,

"misuse" them in the very best sense of the word.Non-intentional design (NID) goes on every day, in

every area of life, in every region of the world.Redesign through reuse makes things

multifunctional and cleverly combines them togenerate new functions. It is often reversible,

resource-friendly, improvisational, innovative, andeconomical. It can become a source of inspiration

for design, provided professional designers look upand take notice of what actually happens to all the

things they design when they are used.

Environments - Surrounding Objects

What 'really constitutes an architecturalatmosphere', Peter Zumthor says, is 'thissingular density and mood, this feeling ofpresence, well-being, harmony, beauty...under whose spell I experience what I

otherwise would not experience in preciselythis way'. Zumthor's passion is the creationof buildings that produce this kind of effect,but how can one actually set out to achieveit? In nine short, illustrated chapters framed

as a process of self-observation, PeterZumthor describes what he has on his mindas he sets about creating the atmosphere ofhis houses. Images of spaces and buildingsthat affect him are every bit as important as

particular pieces of music or books thatinspire him. From the composition and

'presence' of the materials to the handling ofproportions and the effect of light, this

process of house design.
