Arnold, Thomas / Grundei, Paul / Karsenty, Claire / Knoess, Elke / Cowley, Ian / Werner, Sabine A. / Kirkbright, Suzanne / Rupp, Stephanie / Keßler, Norma: Architektur Rausch Eine Position zum Entwerfen, Jovis Verlag GmbH, Dezember 2005 ISBN: 3936314454 NEUBUCH!
Der Beruf des Architekten ändert sich entscheidend. Und damit gleichzeitigdie Anforderungen, den enormen Umwälzungen gerecht zu werden, denen unsere Lebensräume im Spannungsfeld von Produktion und Information, Regionalität und Globalität, Realem und Virtuellem ausgesetzt sind. Gefragt sind Architekten mit Ideen für diese Herausforderungen und der Fähigkeit, die unterschiedlichsten Einflüsse zu klaren Konzepten zu bündeln und dabei ebenso aufregende wie funktionale Räume schaffen zu können. Wie aber kann die Ausbildung diesen Aufgaben gerecht werden? DasBuch versucht Antworten zu finden. Die Beiträge verknüpfen Sinnlichkeit und Rationalität und stellen in der Vernetzung mit anderen Wissensbereichen die Grenzen des Berufsbildes bewusst in Frage. Damit entwirft Architektur Rausch einen diskursiven, vielfältigen und ebenso offenen wie präzisen Lehransatz, der Lehrenden und Studierenden, aber auch Planern und Architekten wichtige Impulse geben kann. The architect"s profession is changing decisively. In parallel the needed abilities are changing, too: The architect today is dealing with the important transformations of our environment, both spacial and social, between the poles of production and information, regionalisation and globalisation, as well as the real and virtual world. Architects with ideas for these challenges are in demand. Their ability is needed to group the most diverse influences into clear concepts and to create spaces, which are as exciting as they are functional. But how can education live up to these tasks? The book tries to find answers. The contributions combine sensuousness and rationality and, in networking with other areas of knowledge, they question the boundaries of the profession"s image. In this way, Architektur Rausch devises a discursive, diverse and equally open and precise approach to tuition that can inspire lecturers and students, as well as planners and architects.
