Erdmut Bramke, Werkverzeichnis. Bd. 1:Gemälde 1964–2002, Bd. 2: Arbeiten aufPapier 1961–2002Edited on behalf of the Freunde der StaatsgalerieStuttgart by Ulrike Gauß, Susanne Grötz and Ca-rolin JörgVol. 1: 428 pp. with 556 illus., 220 x 280 mm, hard-cover, GermanVol. 2: 528 pp. with 1483 illus., 220 x 280 mm,hard-cover, GermanISBN 978-3-00-053271-9 (Freunde der Staats-galerie Stuttgart)ISBN 978-3-86905-004-1 (Edition Axel Menges)Euro 154.00, £ 129.00, US $ 169.00The two volumes are not sold separately.

Erdmut Bramke, who was born in 1940 in Kiel anddied in 2002 in Stuttgart, is one of the few 20th-century artists whose work consistently expresseda purely painterly position. She worked only withcolour and structures. The use of acrylic coloursenabled her to create unique colour constellations.Her unusual palate of colours and novel shades ofcolour were a constant surprise. In her stylistic id-iom she emphasised flowing lines, interspersedcolour shadowing with linear structures and experi-mented with images produced by dipping the im-age body in colour and also by using different ma-terials. Her works are represented in many publicand private collections, including the StaatsgalerieStuttgart, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the UlmerMuseum, the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Bundes-kunsthalle, also in Bonn, and the Kunsthalle Kiel.

Erdmut Bramke studied painting from 1961 to1967 at the academies in Berlin and Stuttgart. Herteachers were Heinz Trökes and K. R. H. Sonder-borg. Repeated study periods in France and Italytook her creative work into constantly new direc-tions. Particularly important for her artistic develop-ment was the time she spent as a stipendiary fel-low at the Villa Massimo in Rome in 1979/80 and at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in 1986.

The present catalogue raisonné of the artist’sfreelance work was commissioned by the Freundeder Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, as prescribed by theterms of the bequest of Erdmut Bramke – her artis-tic design of buildings will follow in a later volume.Volume one is devoted to the paintings. It is intro-duced by essays of six people in her circle who fo-cus on Bramke’s importance for painting in the lat-ter half of the 20th century. Volume two presentsthe sizable œuvre of her works on paper, whichmust be accorded equal weight in the artist’s work.Reprinted in both volumes are contemporary textsfrom catalogues, newspaper articles and talks byReinhard Döhl, Eugen Gomringer, Karin von Maurand others that show how the artist’s work was re-ceived during her lifetime.

Until her retirement, Ulrike Gauß was the head ofthe Graphische Sammlung of the StaatsgalerieStuttgart, Susanne Grötz is a freelance art historianand exhibition curator, Carolin Jörg teaches artisticdesign at the Hochschule Augsburg.

Erich Engelbrecht. Introspektive Bilder /Introspektive Images

Edited by Waltraud Engelbrecht. With an intro-ductory essay by Gottfried Knapp and furthercontributions by Waltraud Engelbrecht, João José de Abreu Vares, Hans-Jürgen Vogt, andRenate Vogt. 156 pp. with 150 illus., 280 x 300mm, hard-cover, German / EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-014-0Euro 59.00, £ 49.90, US $ 69.90Enclosed is a DVD with a film by Helmut Kohn

Erich Engelbrecht (1928–2011) called his pictures»introspective«. He remarks on this: »The intro-spective image inspects the arena of the soul, thefield of operation of archetypes, which constitutesthe fundamental pattern of our behaviour.« Weare indebted to C. G. Jung for providing especial-ly deep insights into the nature of archetypes. Ac-cording to him, they constitute, in their totality, thecollective human unconsciousness, and determineour actions. These archetypes become visible on-ly in symbolic images. For Werner Haftmann theworks of symbolic artists across history are justsuch symbolic embodiments.

The works of Erich Engelbrecht, whether graph-ics, oil pictures, tapestries, wooden-disc or steelfigures, appear planimetric and abstact. In hissteel figures, for instance, the third dimension ex-ists only in the thickness of the steel plates. Thismakes his artworks akin to folk tales. In his bookDas europäische Volksmärchen, Max Lüthi de-scribes the style of the folk tale as »planimetric«and »abstract«, with projecting all happenings onthe level of plot. When the sister cuts her littlefinger off and uses it to open the door to theglass castle to free her imprisoned brothers inthe folk tale The Seven Ravens, no blood flowsand we hear no cry of pain.

Both – the folk tale and the »introspective im-age« – tell a story and use primal images in orderto do it. This mode of action – of creating a coher-ence of meaning through a narrative of archetypalimages such as forest, cavern, and sea that restsupon primal human experience – is described byC. G. Jung as an »archetypal programme«, a pri-mal behaviour pattern that all human beings fol-low, regardless of race, culture, or the applicablepoint in time.

With the introspective image, as with the folktale, the creative process must be intuitive andmeditative, an immersion in the unconscious. ErichEngelbrecht had no plan or idea for an artwork,merely an empty sheet of paper or canvas in frontof him; he made himself receptive, waited, and allowed himself to be guided by the images, aprocess that he experienced very much as an or-deal and even as a threat to his existence. He did,however, have a sense for when his process ofsearching was at an end, albeit without under-standing the meaning of a picture created in thisway. His wife Waltraud Engelbrecht would then tryto »read« these images and to derive a coherenceof meaning from correspondences of form andcolour. Renate Vogt

Klaus Kinold. Architekturphotographien /Photographs of ArchitectureWith an essay by Wolfgang Pehnt. 120 pp. with112 illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German /EnglishISBN 978-3-936681-93-2Euro 49.90, £ 39.90, US $ 59.90

The work of Klaus Kinold, born 1939 in Essen, ispart of a tradition of photography, and particular-ly of architectural photography. Architecture wasone of the most important themes even of earlyphotography – not least because it stood still.Initially this was an important characteristic, sinceexposure times were long. Thus began the affini-ty of photography with the documentary. Realityand representation were supposed to corres-pond. Quoting a statement by Roland Barthes,Kinold has referred to the still »mysterious bonusof confidence given to the documentary«. At a time when digital photographic techniques makeall sorts of manipulation possible, the now rarequality of reliability is assigned to this attitude.

It was self-evident for Kinold to explore the pe-riod whose very name included the term objectiv-ity – the New Objectivity (in German: Neue Sach-lichkeit). The work of colleagues such as WernerMantz, Hugo Schmölz, Arthur Köster and aboveall Albert Renger-Patzsch combined useful infor-mation and contemporary artistic expression.Walter Peterhans, photographer at the Bauhaus,called it the »magic of precision«. At the sametime, Kinold did not let himself be confused bythe special effects indulged in by some mod-ernist artists. His photographs indicate the struc-ture of the surfaces of a building, the spatialdepth and the details concealed in its shadowedsections, the proportions in which they presentthemselves to the user.

The accuracy of observation, the precision in detail, the translation of three-dimensional ob-jects into a convincingly construed image areamong the virtues of the architectural photogra-pher Klaus Kinold. What takes precedence in hiswork is not the moment at which a thing sud-denly reveals its essence, a lucky coincidence,but rather the condition that is considered tobe essential, set also by the right photographicstandpoint. For Kinold, who owed a great dealto his teacher Egon Eiermann at the TechnischeHochschule in Karlsruhe, including in his capacityas a photographer, logic, purity and clarity wentwithout saying. Accordingly, predominant in hiswork, we find photographs of buildings by archi-tects whom he could expect to have such quali-ties: classic Modernists like Walter Gropius, Lud-wig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and con-temporaries like Alvar Aalto, Hans Döllgast, Her-man Hertzberger, Louis I. Kahn, Karljosef Schat-tner, Rudolf Schwarz, Alvaro Siza.

Architectural historian Wolfgang Pehnt, born1931, has often reaped the benefits of insightsgained from Kinold’s photographic art. Pehnt haspublished monographs about German architec-ture since 1900 and about Expressionist architec-ture, but he has also written about numerous in-dividual œuvres. He formerly taught at the Ruhr-universität Bochum.

Gardens for the Senses. The SpanishGardens of Javier MariáteguiWith texts by Javier Mariátegui Valdés and pho-tographs by Javier Mariátegui Valdés, CasildaMariátegui and Mark Bentley. 188 pp. with 245 illus., 305 x 259 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-936681-98-7Euro 58.00, £ 42.90, US$ 64.00

It was not by chance nor by a trick of fate thatJavier Mariátegui dedicated himself to garden-ing. He grew up among gardens.

Both his grandmothers were gardening enthu-siasts, one of them, the Marchioness of CasaValdés, wrote the book Spanish Gardens, whichdescribes the history of Spanish gardening fromRoman times to the present day. This book con-tinues to be a reference for all lovers of this par-ticular field of history and art.

This enthusiasm was passed on to him by hisparents. From his earliest years he was makinghis own gardens, by reusing those plants dis-carded by his father.

Mariátegui studied landscape gardening anddesign at the Escuela de Paisajismo y JardinerìaCastillo de Batres in Madrid. Subsequently heworked in England as a gardener. Back in Spain,he established the Jardines de España nursery,which looks after and employs handicapped chil-dren, with whom he first started making gar-dens. For the past thirty years, he has creatednumerous gardens across Spain and in severalother European countries. He has also publishedmany articles on landscape-gardening topics inspecialized magazines and a book on one of hisgardens: El Jardín de los Tapices /The TapestryGarden. Among the present garden architects ofSpain Mariátegui plays an outstanding role. Eventhe Spanish TV has dedicated a monographicprogram to him and his gardens.

It would be difficult to summarize in a fewwords the essence of Mariátegui’s gardens, giv-en the wide variety of styles, their versatility andnumerous differences that perhaps becomes his»signature«. His style is not dogmatic, he lovesorder and disorder, straight lines and curved, thewild chaos of nature as well as strict geometri-cal patterns, varied and single species of plants,colour and absence of colour. Moreover he en-joys bringing elements that clash together untilthey harmonize.

Perhaps as a result of an intimate knowledgeof the magic of water in Andalusian Moorish gar-dens, Mariátegui uses water as an essential ele-ment in many of his gardens. He makes it »work«in all its forms; in pumps, in cascades, in con-stant gentle movement, or rocking in waves, indisperse drops or in silence like a mirror thatadds the magic of its reflection.

Fritz BarthKonstantin Melnikow und sein Haus64 pp. with 106 illus., 210,5 x 281 mm, hard-cover, German editionISBN 978-3-936681-89-5Euro 36.00, £ 29.00, US $ 46.00Konstantin Melnikov and his House64 pp. with 106 illus., 210,5 x 281 mm, hard-cover, English editionISBN 978-3-936681-90-1Euro 36.00, £ 29.00, US $ 46.00

Konstantin Melnikov (1890–1974) is unquestionab-ly one of the outstanding architects of the 20thcentury – in spite of the fact that he fell silent ear-ly, leaving behind only limited work that was insuf-ficiently publicized, and restricted almost exclu-sively to Moscow, the city of his birth in which hespent nearly his entire life and which did not ap-preciate him. He was raised in humble circum-stances, but enjoyed an excellent education.Beginning in the mid-1920s, after the turmoil thatfollowed the war, revolution and civil war, his ca-reer soared at almost meteoric speed as he tookthe lead in the young Soviet architecture move-ment with completely autonomous, highly artisticbuildings that were free from dogmatism of anykind. Even more rapid than his rise to fame washis downfall: Treated with general hostility, he wasunable to defend himself against the accusationof formalism when Stalin put an end to architec-tural ventures and experiments around the mid-1930s. He was expelled from the architects’ asso-ciation and was banned from practicing as an ar-chitect for the remaining four decades of his life.

In the late 1920s, at the peak of his career, hehad the opportunity to build a house for himselfand his family in Moscow, in which he was thenable to live until the end of his life. This house, amemorable symbiosis of almost peasantlike sim-plicity and extreme radicalness, is one of the mostimpressive, surprising and probably most enig-matic works produced by 20th-century architec-ture. Its simplicity is only outward; in reality this isa highly complex work which links together theelements of architecture explicitly and inextricab-ly, which takes a clear and completely autono-mous stand and which, in a way that little elsehas done, raises the question as to the nature ofgenuinely architectonic thinking. In essayistic formthe book attempts to follow the paths laid out inthe architect’s work from the perspective of an architect.

Fritz Barth studied architecture in Stuttgart andZurich. He runs an architect’s practice in Fellbachnear Stuttgart, teaches at the TU Darmstadt andis the author of a series of books, including a stu-dy on the iconography of 16th-century Italian gar-dens (Die Villa Lante in Bagnaia, 2001), a mono-graph about the Bohemian Baroque master build-er Johann Santini-Aichel (Santini, 2004) and astudy of the fortifications of Francesco di GiorgioMartini (Martial Signifiers. Fortress Complexes byFrancesco di Giorgio Martini, 2011).

Frei Otto / Bodo Rasch – Finding Form.Towards an Architecture of the Mini-mal240 pp. with 540 illus. in b & w and colour, 215 x 240 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 3-930698-66-8Euro 49.00, £ 39.90, US $ 59.00

»Primeval architecture is an architecture of neces-sity. Nothing is there to excess, no matter wheth-er stone, clay, reeds or wood, animal skins orhair are used. It is minimal. It can be very beauti-ful even amidst poverty and is good in the ethicalsense.

Good architecture seems to be more importantthan beautiful architecture. Beautiful architectureis not necessarily good. Only buildings that are at the same time ethically good and aestheticallybeautiful are worth preserving.

We have too many buildings that have becomeuseless and yet we still need new buildings, frompole to pole, in the cold and in the heat.

Man’s present areas of settlement are the newecological system in which technology is indis-pensable, even in hot and cold areas. ...

Our age requires buildings that are lighter,more energy-saving, more mobile and moreadaptable, in brief more natural, without disre-garding the need for safety and security.

This logically leads to the further developmentof light constructions, to the building of tents,shells, awnings and air-supported membranes.It also leads to a new mobility and changeability.A new understanding of nature is forming underone aspect of high performance form (also called›classical form‹), which unites aesthetic and ethi-cal viewpoints.

Tomorrow’s architecture will again be minimalarchitecture, an architecture of the self-educationand self-optimization processes suggested byhuman beings.«

(Frei Otto and Bodo Rasch in their forewordof this book.)

In 1992 the Bavarian branch of the DeutscherWerkbund awarded its first prize to Frei Otto, un-doubtedly the most successful and many-sidedprotagonist of modern light construction, andwith it a request to nominate a meritorious per-son to whom the prize could be passed on, andto design a joint exhibition with that person. FreiOtto chose his pupil Bodo Rasch, who had real-ized Otto’s theories particularly in other cultures.

Otto died on 9 March 2015; he was to be pub-licly announced as the winner of the 2015 PritzkerPrize on 23 March, but his death meant the com-mittee announced his award on 10 March. Ottohimself had been told earlier that he had won the prize by the executive director of the PritzkerPrize, Martha Thorne. He was reported to havesaid: »I have never done anything to gain thisprize. Prize winning is not the goal of my life. I try to help poor people, but what shall I sayhere – I am very happy.«

Hans Dieter Schaal. Scenic Architecture /Szenische ArchitekturWith an introduction by Frank R. Werner. 136 pp.with 140 illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, Eng-lish/GermanISBN 978-3-936681-97-0Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

The pioneering character and continuing successof Schaal’s scenic compositions for stage sets andexhibitions is significantly due to this field allowinghim to take full advantage of his multiple talents.He succeeds equally in the thinking and practicalskills of an architect, a painter, a sculptor, a land-scape designer, an urban visionary, cineast, and aman of literature, and this allows him to discover,through his space-embracing scenographic instal-lations, unique three-dimensional equivalents forhis paper-drawn »thought spaces« and »pathspaces« or »thought buildings« from the 1970s. His renowned compendium entitled Architektoni-sche Situationen, published in 1980 and contain-ing, the essence of his early spatial studies, in factcontains within it the seeds of all his later stageset and exhibition configurations.

The symbiotic relationship between legendary di-rector Ruth Berghaus and spatial visionary Schaalfirst began producing history-making stage sets inthe early 1980s. Working with Berghaus, Schaalcreated elementary spatial compositions pos-sessed of great suggestive power for Les Troyens(1983), Wozzeck (1984), Orpheus (1986), Elektra(1986), Moses und Aron (1987), Tristan und Isolde(1988), Lulu (1988), Fierrabras (1988), Ariane etBarbe-Bleue (1991) and Nachtwache (1993), and al-so working with other directors to do the same forcountless other operas and theatre pieces. In cre-ating his installations and their powerful images,Schaal has never solely been concerned with cre-ating suitable illustrations for scene-related plotaction. Instead, he always adds something more,as it were, in the form of a boldly independent in-terpretation.

The same is true of his concepts for tempo-rary or permanent exhibitions. Before undertaking any of the individual projects on his long list of ex-hibition projects, Schaal has always researchedarchive material, historic background, and reper-cussions, but also the emotional and psychoana-lytical implications of the exhibitions’ theme andthe exhibits concerned, with the meticulousnessof a scientific specialist. In works such as his in-stallations for Berlin – Berlin (1987) or Prometheus(1998), for the Filmmuseum Berlin (2000), and forthe memorials of the former concentration campsMittelbau-Dora (2006), Bergen-Belsen (2007) orEsterwegen (2011), he always presents his ownview of the world, his own view of things.

Frank R. Werner studied painting, architectureand architectural history in Mainz, Hanover andStuttgart. From 1990 to 1994 he was professor ofhistory and theory of architecture at the Staat-liche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart,from 1994 until his retirement in 2011 he was di-rector of the Institut für Architekturgeschichteund Architekturtheorie at the Bergische Univer-sität in Wuppertal.

Hans Dieter Schaal. Landscape Architec-ture / LandschaftsarchitekturWith an introduction by Frank R. Werner and photographs by Peter C. Horn. 128 pp. with 104illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, English/GermanISBN 978-3-86905-003-4Euro 39.90, £ 32.90, US $ 42.90

If there is a plateau that continuously unites HansDieter Schaal’s numerous artistic fields of activity,a kind of fundamental level, then it is surely that oflandscape architecture. Landscape motifs are asconvincingly present in his stage sets as they arein his installations, his exhibition architectures, histexts, and, naturally, also his park and garden de-signs.

Schaal has been on the track of the fascina-tion of landscapes since the 1960s. For him, en-countering the parterre or »carpet patterns« of thebaroque Herrenhäuser Gärten in Hannover was akey experience. This was followed by an intensivestudy of the early landscape gardens of GreatBritain, the park complexes of the Romantics andthe Enlightenment in Weimar, Wörlitz, and Mus-kau, and by studies of the garden art ideas andphilosophical implications that underpinned eachof them. As a twice-over »Artist-in-Residence« atthe Villa Massimo in Rome, Schaal was also ableto absorb the whole cosmos of Italian garden andpark planning, from the Renaissance to the pre-sent day.

In 1978, Schaal published his first book, We-ge und Wegräume (Paths and Passages), todayconsidered a classic. Wege und Wegräume hasbecome required reading and an artistic leitmotiffor generations of landscape designers and ar-chitects. In 1994, a fourth Hans Dieter Schaal keywork appeared entitled Neue Landschaftsarchi-tektur / New Landscape Architecture. It proved tobe among the late 20th century’s most compre-hensive studies of the topic of »landscape« in thewider sense. Above all, it prompts an existentialsubjective excursus into all those spheres thatare inscribed into landscape beyond the profes-sional mainstream. Schaal was subsequently ableto build a large number of spectacular »follies«and installations in gardens and parks.

From 1998 to 2014, he was finally able to actu-ally realise a whole city park, complete with artis-tic installations: the Wielandpark in Biberach. Thecomplex architectonic and artistic layout of thispark embodies, as it were, the distilled essenceof decades of working with the bridle paths atthe boundaries of landscape.

Frank R. Werner studied painting, architectureand architectural history in Mainz, Hanover andStuttgart. From 1990 to 1994 he was professorof history and theory of architecture at the Staat-liche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart,from 1994 until his retirement in 2011 he was director of the Institut für Architekturgeschichteund Architekturtheorie at the Bergische Univer-sität in Wuppertal. Peter C. Horn is a trained ar-chitect. After working for several years in his orig-inal profession in South America, he now runs astudio for architectural photography in Stuttgart.

Martha Schwartz Partners. Landscape Art and UrbanismWith texts by Marc Treib, Martha Schwartz, Markus Jatsch and Edith Katz. 356 pp. with424 illus., 229 x 304 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-011-9Euro 69.00, £ 59.00, US $ 76.00

Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP) is a leading in-ternational design practice whose work focuseson activating and regenerating urban sites andcity centers. Situated at the intersection of pub-lic realm, urban design and site specific art, thepractice has over 35 years of experience design-ing and implementing installations, gardens, civicplazas, parks, institutional landscapes, corporateheadquarters, master plans, and urban regenera-tion projects. MSP works with city leaders, plan-ners and builders at a strategic level so as to ad-vocate for the inclusion of the public landscapeas a means to achieve environmental, econom-ic and social sustainability. With offices in Lon-don, New York and Shanghai, the practice is en-gaged in projects and consultation around theglobe and has to date worked on projects in over20 countries and five continents.

MSP has continually been recognized for itscontribution to the urban landscapes of the worldand to the field of landscape architecture. Thefirm has received many international award reco-gnitions, including the American Society of Land-scape Architects Landmark and Honour Awards,the British Association of Landscape IndustriesAward in the Regeneration Category, the ChicagoAthenaeum Award for Best New Global Design,the Urban Land Institute Award for Excellenceand the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.

Martha Schwartz: »When we design, our big-gest objective is to create environments that peo-ple enjoy and come to love. We try to create en-vironments that people take pride in and are hap-py to adopt these places that they live and workin as part of their identity. If this happens, peoplewill strive to take care of it, maintain it and pre-serve it. People’s love of place is fundamental tosustainability. That is not to say we don’t work inthe most ecologically sound way. We work withengineers, water specialists, horticulturists, soilspecialists in order to do our best in capturingand recycling water, using planting that was indi-genous to the area and sourcing our materials lo-cally. But having people feel pride about wherethey live and feel they are living in a beautiful envi-ronment that they wish to protect and preserve isthe big win.«

With a foreword by Marc Treib, professor of architecture emeritus at the University of Califor-nia in Berkeley), and an introduction by MarthaSchwartz, this monograph is the first publicationto document 55 built projects and a selection ofmaster plans by this internationally acclaimedpractice.

Irme SchaberGerda Taro, Photojournalist. With RobertCapa in the Spanish Civil War256 pp. with 224 illus., 233 x 284,5 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-013-3Euro 59.00, £ 49.90, US $ 69.90

Paris in the summer of 1937. A giant funeral pro-cession wends its way from the city center east-ward toward the Père-Lachaise Cemetery, ac-companied by the sounds of Chopin’s funeralmarch. The photojournalist Gerda Taro had beenkilled in the Spanish Civil War a few days earlier.Thousands come to pay their last respects to theémigrée from Hitler’s Germany. The poet LouisAragon speaks at the graveside, young girls holdup a large portrait of the deceased. Why did theFrench Communist Party honor a foreigner – onewho was not even a member of the Party – witha »first-class« burial?

Taro is considered one of the path-breaking pioneers of photography. She captured some ofthe most dramatic and widely published imagesof the Spanish Civil War and was the first femalephotographer to shoot images in the midst ofbattle. Her willingness to work close to the fight-ing set new standards for war photography andultimately cost her her life. Taro stands alongsideearly 20th-century war photographers like RobertCapa and David »Chim« Seymour.

Despite this, Gerda Taro has largely fallen in-to oblivion, especially in comparison to her com-panion and lover Robert Capa. Whether genderand religion played a role in this would require aseparate investigation. In any case, in her studyof women resisting fascism, Ingrid Strobl comesto the conclusion that a combination such aswoman-Communist-Jew represented a threefoldstigma, and would almost guarantee Taro’s ex-clusion from official history, both in the East andthe West.

It has been almost twenty years since the firstbiography of Gerda Taro, written by Irme Scha-ber, led to Taro’s rediscovery as a photographer.Since that time, the detection of the »MexicanSuitcase«, containing more than 800 of her pho-tos – amongst them many which were thoughtto be Capa’s –, has made new research on Taro possible.

In this new, fully revised biography, now pub-lished for the first time also in English, Irme Scha-ber presents groundbreaking insights regardingcameras, copyrights and the circumstances sur-rounding Taro’s death. The exact track of Taro’swork also helps to shed light on Capa’s iconicFallen Soldier photo – but without solving its mys-tery.

Irme Schaber studied cultural and art history in Marburg. She lives as a freelance author andcurator near Stuttgart. Documentary and warphotography, exile and cultural history, and pho-tographic art are the focus of her work. She be-came known above all for her research work onGerda Taro.

Opus 16Fundación César Manrique, LanzaroteWith an introduction by Simón Marchán Fiz andphotographs by Pedro Martínez de Albornoz.60 pp. with 52 illus. in b & w and colour, 280 x300 mm, hard-cover, German / English / SpanishISBN 978-3-930698-16-5Euro 36.00, £ 24.00, US $ 44.50

Over the last decade the island of Lanzarotehas become one of the favourite tourism desti-nations in the Canary Islands. However, our inter-est is more one of artistic than of touristic discov-ery, and this would be virtually unthinkable with-out the work of an artist who fell in love with thiswonderful paradise. We refer to César Manrique(1919–1992), who was able to see and reveal tous the unique beauties arising out of the happymarriage of the four elements believed by theGreeks to form the whole of creation: air, earth,fire and water.

In fact, after returning to his island in 1968after a period spent in New York, Manrique de-dicated himself passionately to realizing his uto-pia, to renew Lanzarote out of his own sources.Among Manrique’s best known works on Lan-zarote are the Casa Museo del Campesino, theJameos del Agua, the Mirador del Río, the Cac-tus Garden and his own house in the Taro deTahíche.

Manrique’s house in Taro de Tahíche, whichnowadays houses the César Manrique Founda-tion, can be considered as a »work in progress«as it was built over a period of almost 25 yearsand was still not completed upon the artist’sdeath. Arising out of the five interconnected vol-canic bubbles of the underground storey, it hasbecome a metaphor for the amorous meeting ofman with Mother Earth, the latter being under-stood, to use Bruno Taut’s expression, as »a finehome for living«. The spaces on the upper floorcan be virtually mistaken for the white cubic build-ings dispersed throughout the island. But whenwe cross their thresholds, we have the uniquefeeling that here something was created whichis really new. In fact, Manrique – enemy in equalmeasure of the »pastiche« of regionalism andthe off-key International Style blind to differentia-tion – sifted the vernacular with certain modernfilters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van derRohe or Le Corbusier, and at the same time hegave it such a specific stamp that the final resultbecame indigenous and unmistakeable.

Simón Marchán Fiz is professor of aesthet-ics in Madrid. Like Marchán Fiz, Pedro Martínezde Albornoz lives in Madrid. The photographsshown in this book are the best photographicinterpretation of one of Manrique’s work up tonow.

Opus 65Le Corbusier, Unité d’habitation, MarseilleWith texts by Alban Janson and Carsten Krohnand photographs by Anja Grunwald. 80 pp. with80 ill., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German / Eng-lishISBN 978-3-932565-65-6Euro 39.00, £ 36.00, US $ 48.00

If there is one building by Le Corbusier that rep-resents a synthesis of his basic concepts it iscertainly the Unité d’habitation built in Marseille in 1946–52. This built manifesto does not simplyput forward a social model as a utopia, but alsothe unity of architecture and town planning. It isone of the most significant buildings there haseven been, but it also triggered a great deal ofcontroversy. The story of the response to it hasbeen recorded in order to investigate why thisextremely ambitious project in particular shouldhave caused such a conflict between intentionand effect.

The Unité d’habitation in Marseille is now verypopular with the people who live in it as a build-ing. Despite all the criticism, it obviously still of-fers functional advantages that make it easier forindividuals and the community to live together.The enormous sculptural force and the charac-teristic interplay of light and colour shown in thephotographs make the building into a »personali-ty« that can be identified with.

As well as this, the building also offers some-thing special in terms of concrete spatial experi-ence. In the age of a superficial »adventure soci-ety« it claims the intensity of an everyday experi-ence that is both casual and at the same timecomplex, embracing all the senses. This extendsfrom the reception in the imposing foyer to the»theatre« of figures on the roof terrace in thelight of the landscape, from the inverted urbanscenery of the promenade publique to twilightseclusion in the silent residential streets. And itincludes the flats themselves, which open upexpansively to draw in the sea and mountainmood. Le Corbusier used his architectural re-sources atmospherically and scenically to givethe Unité d’habitation a succinct coherence thatalso forms the basis for individual lives withinits rooms and spaces. Precise observation anddescription reveal the mechanisms of these ef-fects.

All three authors are qualified architects. Untilhis retirement Alban Janson was professor of thefundamentals of architecture at the KarlsruherInstitut für Technology, Carsten Krohn lives andworks as an author in Berlin, and Anja Grunwaldis professor of architectural photography and typography at the Hochschule Karlsruhe – Tech-nik und Wirtschaft.

»A house is a representation of the idea of theworld, of life, of existence.« For the Cologne ar-chitect Oswald Mathias Ungers (1926–2007),owner of a famous collection of books on archi-tecture, who also repeatedly addressed the theo-retical aspects of building, the construction of hisown house, in 1958/59, was more than a privateadventure. For him it meant a chance to gainspatial experience and explore what was possi-ble. It was a laboratory, »a little universe«, »apiece of world«.

In the course of his life, Ungers built himselfand his family no less than three houses, two inthe Cologne suburb of Müngersdorf, one in theEifel highlands. Even the first house, to which thisrichly illustrated volume is dedicated, caused aninternational sensation; it was considered to bean important example of so-called Brutalism. Itshowed »everything I knew how to do at thetime«, Ungers wrote regarding the building. Hewanted a house that enveloped and sheltered,he wanted metamorphosis and transformation;architecture that was autonomous but at thesame time respected the genius loci. At the time,architects preferred to build their private homesas freestanding bungalows in the countryside.Ungers, on the other hand, settled in a placewhere there were traces of the Roman past andpurchased a plot of land adjacent to an alreadyexisting row of terraced houses.

Three decades later, Ungers expanded thecataract of forms of his first home by adding ageometrically strict cube, intended to house hislibrary. The shock aesthetics of the early work hadevolved into the rigorous abstractness of his latework. This building too – one of a kind, and in in-terplay with its predecessor – became a manifes-to. It corresponded to the idea of a house as asmall town and the town as a large house, anidea that has run through European architecturalhistory since Alberti. In spite of all their differ-ences, the two contrasting formats make com-mon cause. They show »a world full of contradic-tions, illusions and realities that reflects the entirespectrum of the image of architecture, from thefiction to the reality of the function«. Today thehouse and the library are the seat of the UAA, theUngers Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft, andopen to the public.

Wolfgang Pehnt often visited Ungers. The authorof an authoritative book about the architecture ofExpressionism, he profited by Ungers’ collection ofmaterial back in the years when Ungers was still in-terested in Expressionism. Thus he is familiar withthe house in all its details. As portrayed by him, thehistory of the house gives access to the impressiveœuvre of a great German architect.

Opus 81Carlo Scarpa, Museo di Castelvecchio,VeronaWith texts by Alba Di Lieto, Paola Marini and Va-leria Carullo, and photographs by Richard Bryant.52 pp. with 43 illus., 280 x 300 mm, hard-cover,Italian / EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-81-6Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

During the 1960s Italy’s museum sector witnesseda fertile period of renewal. A generation of archi-tects, working in partnership with the directors ofmuseums, set about transforming into exhibitionspaces a number of ancient monumental complex-es located in the historic centres of some of themost important Italian cities. Among these was thebrilliant and solitary Venetian architect Carlo Scarpawho revitalised the discipline of museography bysagaciously combining it with restoration. His lucidintervention at Verona’s Museo di Castelvecchio isemblematic of this approach: the medieval castle,the museum of ancient art, and modern architec-ture all harmoniously coexisting in a monument lo-cated at the heart of a city designated a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site.

The far-sighted choice of Scarpa was owed tothe then director of the museum, Licisco Maga-gnato, who tenaciously argued the case for the ap-pointment of an architect specialising in this field towork on the city’s principal museum of ancient art.

In his work on the Castelvecchio, carried out ata significant point in his career, Scarpa attained aremarkable balance between various aesthetic ele-ments that is particularly evident in the sculpturegallery, where the renovations harmonise with thepower of the 14th-century Veronese works exhibit-ed in this section of the museum. One of the moststriking details – extraordinarily rich in historical and symbolic significance – is the location of theequestrian statue of Cangrande I della Scala, anexceptional medieval sculpture of the famous Lordof Verona. For the presentation of this work – asymbol of the city and its museum – the architectconceived a backdrop of great poetry, drawing thevisitor’s attention to its historical stratifications andsimultaneously creating an exemplary essay inmodern architecture.

The book is introduced with a text by Alba DiLieto, the architect of Verona’s art museums, ascholar of Scarpa’s drawings, and the author ofmonographs on his work. She describes the ar-chitect’s renovation and locates it in the context of Italy’s architectural panorama.

The essay is followed by a brief history of thecastle by Paola Marini, who was the director ofVerona’s art museums and monuments for 22years. In 2015 she has taken on a new role as di-rector of the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.

Valeria Carullo, curator of the The Robert ElwallPhotographs Collection in the RIBA British Archi-tectural Library, writes about her experience assist-ing Bryant when he photographed the castle.

Richard Bryant is one of the best-known archi-tectural photographers, working all over the world.He and Hélène Binet are the only photographers tohave been awarded a RIBA Honorary Fellowshipof the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Opus 82Bodensee-Wasserversorgung, SipplingenWith an essay by Andreas Schwarting and pho-tographs by Heinz Kabus. 56 pp. with 70 illus.,280 x 300 mm, hard-cover, German / EnglishISBN 978-3-932565-82-3Euro 36.00, £ 29.90, US $ 39.90

Autumn 1958 marked the launching of the Bo-densee-Wasserversorgung (Lake Constance water supply), an infrastructure project whoselargest part is underground, hidden from view.Even in the first phase of the project, 2160 litresof water per second were taken from Lake Con-stance at a depth of roughly 60 m, treated onSipplinger Berg and transported over hundredsof kilometres of pipeline through the Swabian Alb to the greater Stuttgart area. What is remark-able about this project, however, is not only thetechnological challenge of a combination of thelake-water treatment and the overland waterpipeline, but particularly the special quality of the design of the visible parts of the waterworks,a result of the collaboration of engineers, archi-tects, landscape designers and artists.

Hermann Blomeier, who had settled in Con-stance in 1932 after graduating from the Bau-haus Dessau under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe,was commissioned with implementing the Sipp-lingen pumping station following a competitionand, with functionally and transparently designedbuildings, created a counterpoint to the expres-sive landscape of Lake Constance that was asrestrained as it was confident. The treatmentplants on Sipplinger Berg, built by a team com-prising Blomeier and the architect and academicGünter Wilhelm, from the »Quelltopf« (source pot)and the filter basins to the clean-water reservoir,exactly meet functional requirements and at thesame time impressively illustrate the technicalprocesses. The long distance travelled by thewater is accompanied by seemingly subordinatebuildings designed by architect Wolf Irion, subt-ly integrated in the landscape as a kind of way-side chapels, housing the pipe-rupture safety de-vices and line valves. The high quality of the de-sign is evident not only in the buildings, but alsoin the work of landscape architect Walter Rossowand of visual artists Hans-Dieter Bohnet as wellas Brigitte and Martin Matschinsky-Denninghof.

Andreas Schwarting is professor of architec-tural history and architecture theory at the Hoch-schule Konstanz. His research has focussed par-ticularly on 20th-century architecture, its recep-tion and historiography, and on specific issues ofconservation and maintenance. His publicationsinclude the monograph on Walter Gropius’ Des-sau-Törten estate, and he was instrumental inthe publication of the Stiftung Wüstenrot on thepreservation of contemporary buildings. He wasappointed by the International Council on Mon-uments and Sites (ICOMOS) to monitor the UNESCO world-heritage sites of the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau.

When architects design a house for themselves,the often tense relationship between clients andbuilders is usually absent. That is why in manysuch buildings the architect-designer’s artisticstance and political position, preferences andantipathies, temperament and character are morepronounced than usual. Moreover the architecto-nic theories, debates and trends of an epoch al-so leave their traces in them in a particular way.We encounter both attachment to tradition andcommitment to the avant-garde, willingness toexperiment and pragmatism, distinctive artistryand views shaped by the fact that a building isalso a product of engineering. And last but notleast, expressed in their houses are the personallife circumstances of the people concerned, orthe messages the houses are meant to conveyabove and beyond their actual purpose: as a»manifesto«, as the »self-portrait« of the architect,but also as an advertising tool or as a sign ofconnection to specific milieux or positions.

Building for oneself has a special connota-tion under the conditions of migration and exile.Among the most prominent examples are the private homes of Rudolph Schindler in West Hol-lywood (1922), Richard Neutra in Los Angeles(1932), Ernst May near Nairobi (1937), Walter Gro-pius in Lincoln, Massachusetts (1938), Bruno Taut in Istanbul (1938), Ernö Goldfinger in Lon-don (1939), Josep Lluís Sert in Locust Valley,New York (1949), Max Cetto in Mexico City (1949)and Marcel Breuer in New Canaan, Connecticut(1948 and 1951).

What expression could voluntary migration orforced change of location find in these buildings?To what extent do the architects’ other buildingsdiffer from such »homes of one’s own« in a for-eign country, to use an expression borrowed andmodified from Virginia Woolf?

The book is a collection of contributions byinternationally renowned authors and examinesnot only the buildings themselves but also otheraspects of the topic that have hitherto receivedlittle attention.

Burcu Dogramaci teaches art history at theLudwig-Maximilians-Universität of Munich. Herresearch focuses on exile and migration, and20th-century and contemporary art and architec-ture.

Avi FriedmanInnovative Apartment Buildings. NewDirections in Sustainable Design233 x 284,5 mm, 188 pp. with 300 illus., hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-009-6Euro 69.00, £ 59.90, US $ 79.00

Current design of apartment buildings is facingchallenges of philosophy and form. Past ap-proaches no longer sustain new demands andrequire innovative thinking. The need for a newoutlook is propelled by fundamental changes thattouch upon environmental, economic, culturaland social aspects that led to the writing of thisbook.

The depletion of non-renewable natural re-sources and climate change are a few of the en-vironmental challenges that prompted designersto reconsider conceptual approaches in favour of ones that promote a better suitability betweenbuildings and their environments. Concepts thatminimize the building’s carbon footprint, passivesolar gain, net-zero structures and water harvest-ing system are some of the contemporary strate-gies that architects and builders are integratinginto their thought processes and design.

Increasing costs of material, labour, land andinfrastructure have posed economic challengeswith affordability being paramount among them.The need to do with less brings about conceptsthat include adaptable dwellings, and smaller-sized yet quality-designed housing. Social chal-lenges are also drawing attention. As the »ba-by-boom« generation plans now for retirement,housing an elderly population will take priority.Walkable communities, aging in place, live-workresidences, and multigenerational living are someof the concepts considered.

The book offers information on contemporarydesign concepts and illustrates them with plansand photographs of outstanding international ex-amples.

Stefan KoppelkammThe Imaginary Orient. Exotic Buildings of the 18th and 19th Centuries in Europe192 pp. with 280 illus., 242 x 297,5 mm, hard-cover, EnglishISBN 978-3-936681-77-2Euro 68.00, £ 59.90, US $ 78.00

In the 18th century the idea of the landscape gar-den, which had originated in England, spread allover Europe. The geometry of the Baroque parkwas abandoned in favour of a »natural« design.At the same time the garden became the »land ofillusion«: Chinese pagodas, Egyptian tombs andTurkish mosques, along with Gothic stables andGreek and Roman temples, formed a miniatureworld in which distance mingled with the past.

The keen interest in a fairy-tale China, whichwas manifested not only in the gardens but al-so in the chinoiseries of the Rococo, abated inthe 19th century. The increasing expansion of theEuropean colonial powers was reflected in newexotic fashions. While in England it was primarilythe conquest of the Indian subcontinent that cap-tured the imagination, for France the occupationof Algiers triggered an Orient-inspired fashionthat spread from Paris to encompass the entireContinent and found its expression in paintings,novels, operas and buildings. This »Orient«, whichcould not be clearly defined geographically, wascharacterised by Islamic culture: It extendedaround the Mediterranean Sea from Constan-tinople to Granada. There, it was the Alhambrathat fascinated writers and architects.

The Islamic styles seemed especially appropri-ate for »buildings of a secular and cheerful char-acter«. In contrast to ancient Egyptian buildingforms, which, being severe and monumental,were preferably used for cemetery buildings, pris-ons or libraries, they promised earthly sensuouspleasures. The promise of happiness associatedwith an Orient staged by architectural means wasintended to guarantee the commercial success ofcoffeehouses and music halls, amusement parksand steam baths.

But even extravagant summer residences andmiddle-class villas were often built in faux-Orien-tal styles: In Brighton, the Prince Regent George(George IV after 1820) built himself an Indian pal-ace; in Bad Cannstatt near Stuttgart, a »moorish«refuge was erected for Württemberg’s King Wil-helm I; and the French town of Tourcoing wasthe site of the Palais du Congo, a bombastic vil-la in the Indian Moghul style that belonged to awealthy perfume and soap manufacturer.

Stefan Koppelkamm studied at the Gesamt-hochschule in Kassel, and after a longer stay inthe USA he now lives in Berlin and teaches com-munication design at the Kunsthochschule Ber-lin-Weißensee. Since the publication of his bookGewächshäuser und Wintergärten im 19. Jahrhun-dert (Stuttgart, 1981), he has repeatedly engagedwith historic and current aspects of architecture.

The challenges of the global climate crisis areheightened in large part by a pervasive uncertain-ty regarding how architects and designers canaddress this challenge most effectively. In a situ-ation where action is needed, but the correctstrategies remain unknown, it is essential for ar-chitects to share their experiences and knowl-edge as broadly as possible. They must seek outperspectives that can help them overcome theseimpasses. When climate change was put at thetop of the international environmental agendamore than a decade ago, Scandinavian countrieswere ready and able to respond quickly and me-thodically. Today, Scandinavia is still on the fore-front of sustainable development, reorienting cul-tural engagement and economic growth to faceclimate change. The experience and knowledgeaccumulated by architects from Denmark, Nor-way and Sweden have the potential to enrich theexchange of ideas that is vital to a shift towardsholistic thinking and sustainable architecturalpractice.

In this book, essential aspects of sustainabilityin architecture and planning are approached frommany diverse perspectives. They exemplify thebreadth and depth of explorations underway. Thecollection of writings is based on six years of vis-its made to the three Scandinavian countries,and sustained engagements with the schools ofarchitecture in the capital cities of Copenhagen,Oslo and Stockholm. The book aims to illuminatelessons being learned by architects in Scandina-via, that are also relevant in a global perspective.

The main drivers of sustainability are highlight-ed through case studies that cover all scalesfrom planning and infrastructure to buildings andcomponents. The cases illustrate central themessuch as energy, lifecycles, industrialization, dura-bility, transformation, and history. More acutelyarchitectural topics such as adaptability, integrat-ed design, and architectural education/traditionfurther permeate the cases. At the same time,the projects exemplify the best practices of sus-tainable architecture in Scandinavia includinghousing, offices, cultural buildings, and urban de-velopment.

If laziness is the mother of all inventions, then thecar is its masterpiece. The earliest means of lo-comotion was walking, followed by riding on hor-ses or camels; finally, with the invention of thewheel, came the ability to use carriages, whichnot only made locomotion far more comfortablebut also brought the transportation of goods to awhole new level. However, it then took millenniafor carriages to go from being propelled by hor-ses or oxen to engines, initially steam-driven,then propelled by internal combustion enginesand early experiments with electric propulsion.

Cars were initially the result of pure craftsman-ship, and as passenger cars were based on theconcept of the carriage. The assembly line hadnot entirely abandoned the carriage look, but al-ready showed a typical automobile profile: equal-sized wheels, engine bonnet, passenger com-partment. The predominant body colour of carsmanufactured between 1910 and 1930 was black,while all makes of car had an almost uniform ap-pearance. As manufacturers moved away frommetal-panelled wooden frames to an all-steel design, they hesitantly ventured to adopt newforms. Improved undercarriages and higher en-gine performance were initially limited by air re-sistance, which above a speed of 60 kilometresper hour is the strongest of all driving resistances.This led to the development of new body shapesthat offer less resistance to the airstream.

Engineers still determined the form of the car,sometimes even achieving formal elegance. Itwas only rarely that members of other profes-sions, such as the architects Le Corbusier orWalter Gropius, were commissioned to designa car. Between the two World Wars North Ameri-ca had the world’s largest fleet of cars; this alsomeant that their design became an increasinglyimportant sales factor. Professsional automobiledesign was established. As they continued to de-velop technically, cars in the 1950s moved furtherand further away from the physically logical formof a moving body. One of the last – and mostoutstanding – examples of a form with optimumresistance to the airstream is the Citroën ID/DSof 1955. Others, indeed almost all, opted forthe pure symbolism of speed and power, whosemost important ingredients were tail fins andchrome. Today, with a global annual productionof close to 100 million passenger cars, automo-tive style has come to be represented by a widerange of almost every imaginable form.

Architect Hans-Ulrich von Mende has workedwith partners in an independent practice since1990. For 50 years his writings and drawings on automotive design have appeared in books,trade journals (mot, autobild) and the daily press(Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zei-tung).

Marios C. PhocasTechnology-Driven Design Approaches to Utopia180 pp. with 153 illus., 230 x 170 mm, hard-cover,EnglishISBN 978-3-86905-002-7Euro 39.00, £ 29.90, US $ 42.90

Together with his colleagues and students at theUniversity of Cyprus, Phocas challenges tradi-tional definitions of utopia by presenting us withanalytical research and clearly delineated visionsof some architectural futures, which defy easydescription.

Some may view the architecture-diploma projects in this book skeptically as fantastical oreven as frightening visions of some technologi-cally driven future, but they are anything but fan-tasy. They should be appreciated as a continu-ing creative search for the defining of what is the meaning in our 21st-century world of »utopia«and the role of architectural technology in ex-pressing it. This search takes us beyond the tra-ditional notions of utopia, which have historicallybeen illustrated as overtly romantic, whimsicalimages along with a plethora of mechanistic for-mal architectural or architectonic proposals forutopian cities or communities. Some of theseutopian visions, which were realized as isolatedacts during the first half of the 20th century, in associo-economically and culturally diverse placessuch as the United Kingdom, suburban NorthAmerica or the Indian sub-continent proved tobe, once inhabited, less than utopian.

In studying the student proposals, one couldargue that these architectural visions are derivedfrom an evolution of human technology and anunderstanding of growth and adaptability in na-ture. For instance, some of the projects proposenew »building blocks« which can be likened tothe ancient technology of making bricks and thequarrying and shaping of stone which led to thedevelopment of masonry construction and an en-tire new architecture. Other proposals can belikened to the self-generating growth and renew-al process of plant life. Like in nature, we see inthe students’ work proposals for structural sys-tems that grow vertically out of constructed ornatural landscapes in a symbiotic relationshipwith the forces of gravity, wind and sun, whilemining these primal forces to enable human habi-tation. Others appear as in natural growth, as expandable adaptable infrastructure systems.

Marios C. Phocas is currently associate pro-fessor at the Department of Architecture of theUniversity of Cyprus.

The ongoing paradigm change in regard to theuse of energy, its efficient usage and the con-sumption of resources is giving rise to new lightsystems and lighting appliances. This develop-ment might also lead to the use of light as abuilding material in its own right, comparable totraditional building materials, making it possibleto create light space productions – somethingthat did not seem feasible up to now due to thehigh cost of energy and of light systems.

The goal of this book is to develop temporarylight spaces that re-interpret the existing urbanenvironment on a seasonal basis or over a cycleof several years. As a result, the city will literallyappear in a new light. Strollers in the city streetswill experience their familiar environment in a newway. Illuminated planes interlacing with planesmade by linear fields of light beams will createimmaterial material space experiences: still lifesof light within which one can move about andlight choreographies that move barely noticeably,creating still lifes in motion.

Current research aims at exploring, imaginingand inventing stand-alone spatial structures oflight, adding on to and transforming existingspaces, creating a new spatial awareness thatmay enable people to experience urban space ina different way. Similar to the process of architec-tural design, where haptic built volumes createinterspaces, the light spaces that are currentlybeing designed make these interspaces visibleand allow urban dwellers to experience unex-pected spatial constellations.

In addition to the presentation of light-planning examples in Paris, Shanghai, Helsinki, Mekkaand Frankfurt am Main the book includes a num-ber of essays relating to the subject, amongthem: »Light architecture« (Werner Oechslin), »The Potemkin city« (Adolf Loos), »Glass archi-tecture and letters about glass houses« (PaulScheerbart), »Alpine architecture« (Bruno Taut),»The unvisible cities« (Italo Calvino), »Architecturemust burn« (Coop Himmelb(l)au), »In search oflight« (Wolfgang Rang), »City light.

The theme of this book is nutrition: the manu-facture and availability of foodstuffs, and theirpreparation and presentation in the context of a society’s social and cultural development.

Nutrition and physical wellbeing are closelylinked. Human beings and animals alike need toeat in order to survive. In our rich industrial na-tions, where the availability of food is taken forgranted, attitudes towards food tend toward ex-tremes: asceticism on the one hand, and over-indulgence and excess on the other. Over thecenturies, methods of food consumption andfood preparation have become refined in tandemwith the ever more differentiated organisation ofhuman coexistence between these two poles.Regional and social differences in taste-relatedculture have arisen, each representative of thelifestyle of their time.

Today, cooking and the arranging of food mayhave an almost artistic form, with high expecta-tions for the quality of the product and its prepa-ration. The fact is, however, that we live in a soci-ety in which almost all products are industriallyproduced. We have no power to influence theproduction process, and the lists of ingredientson the packaging that provide information on the composition of individual foods are puzzling,and make us doubt whether the product is real-ly what it pretends to be.

In a wide-ranging tour d’horizon, this book in-vestigates the complex contemporary semanticfields of foods, their production and preparation,their presentation in a commercial context, andtheir marketing in the media. The author alsotakes a critical look at the new enthusiasm forDIY food production, baking, and even livestockslaughter, and examines the »star system« waycooking is presented in the media.

The resulting book is a cultural history of foodand of eating from a cultural history, sociology,psychology, economy, and media perspective, asthey exist within the contemporary discourse onnutrition – with its extremes of hype and hubris.

Aussi loin quel’on remonte dans l’héritage ancien, les vestigesde l’histoire de Paris apparaissent dans tous lesparcs, quelque soit leur taille. La répartition équi-librée des espaces verts dans la ville reflète uneépoque majeure du 19ème siècle; les parcs con-temporains maintiennent ces traditions.

Un certain nombre de parcs et jardins françaisdu 17ème siècle ont appartenu initialement auxdomaines royaux, mais maintenant accueillent lepublic. En aparté il convient de noter que le pre-mier parc de Paris, le Jardin des Tuileries, a ou-vert ses portes au public en 1667.

Soigneusement conçus et méticuleusementadaptés aux besoins de l’époque, certains parcsont camouflé le délabrement urbain inesthétiqueavec splendeur; d’autres ont converti des sitesindustriels à un usage récréatif, tout en mainte-nant des liens culturels avec le passé. Beaucoupde merveilles invitent tous ceux qui pénètrentdans les sphères magiques de Paris: une prome-nade paysagère de plusieurs kilomètres au-des-sus de rues animées; un jardin moderne suspen-du au-dessus d’une gare de train; un parc sur larive d’un canal avec ses grandes curiosités archi-tecturales rouges; une allée au milieu d’une île dela Seine; un marais récemment construit qui abri-te déjà des canetons colverts; des nuages deparfum émanant des roses de la collection origi-nale de Joséphine Bonaparte.

Depuis ses études secondaires dans l’Indiana,la langue et la littérature françaises ont fascinéJacqueline Widmar Stewart, qui a étudié auxUniversités du Colorado et du Michigan et qui aobtenu son doctorat en droit à l’Université deStanford à Palo Alto. Son premier livre, The Gla-ciers’ Treasure Trove: A Field Guide to the LakeMichigan Riviera, se penche sur les histoires géo-logiques et philanthropiques de cinq parcs ausud du lac, près de Chicago. Son deuxième livre,Finding Slovenia: A Guide to Old Europe’s NewCountry, met en valeur les merveilles de la terrenatale de ses grands-parents. En 2011 EditionAxel Menges a publié Parks and Gardens inGreater Paris, maintenant aussi disponibleen français. Champagne Regained, publié par Edition Axel Menges en 2013, racontel’histoire de la boisson et du commerce duChampagne, depuis la période médiévale.
