Reflexe Der Immateriellen Und Materiellen Kultur – serie

Die 2 von der UNESCO anerkannte serielle Welterbestätte vereinigt Fundorte in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Österreich, der Schweiz und Slowenien. Die Pfahlbauten dokumentieren die Lebensverhältnisse jungsteinzeitlicher und metallzeitlicher Siedelgemeinschaften zwischen 5 und v. Chr. Obertägig nicht sichtbar, liegen sie verborgen in den Ufer- und Flachwasserbereichen der Alpenrandseen oder unter Moorbedeckung. Unter Luftabschluss haben sich organische Materialien wie Holz, Textil und Nahrungsreste in sensationeller Weise erhalten. Doch bedrohen moderne Nutzung und veränderte Umweltbedingungen die empfindlichen Fundstellen. Unter diesen Aspekten nimmt der Sammelband eine Bestandsaufnahme vor und diskutiert Gefahren, Möglichkeiten und Chancen einer künftigen Erforschung und Entwicklung.

In this volume, various manifestations of landscape provide the basis for questions regarding how it is identified, constructed, and shaped. A look is thus taken at how landscape is quasi mediated medially as an archive, as well as at the activities, values, and meanings inscribed in it and these revealing modes of perception. Understood as an environment in the broadest sense, it assumes a concrete shape as a space for settlement and economic functions and production and as a location for a designed nature that assists in educating people. The contributions break down the apparent dichotomy between nature and culture and take into account the complexity of landscape.Look inside

This volume surveys the major German reform initiatives in the field of design in the 20th century. Their central point of departure was the creation of the German Werkbund in 1907, which in close cooperation with industry strove to achieve a new sense of quality in product development, exhibiting and advertising as well as to implement a fundamental reform of the education in the arts and crafts schools. The Bauhaus and the Ulm School of Design engendered the novel type of designer or industrial designer. All three reform processes were distinguished by the workshop principle and close cooperation with industry, innovative teaching as well as the development of novel forms of housing, living and communication. The volume further addresses the education of women at the Bauhaus and the reception of the Bauhaus and the Ulm School of Design.

Technical innovation and hegemonic politics accelerated the growth process in silver mining regions during the th century. This resulted in the founding of new, planned towns. In a comparative approach, the construction and expansion of the mining towns of Annaberg and Marienberg in the Erzgebirge and Potosí in the Viceroyalty of Peru are analyzed with reference to the architectural implications of regulatory policy measures. Particular attention is paid to the genesis and composition of the dynamically overlapping areas of state, religion, municipality and mining. Their appearance and structure are understood against the background of transcultural processes in architectural theory and practice, and the mining town is viewed as a setting for the negotiation of a hybrid architectural culture

Halle-Neustadt ist die vierte und letzte neue Stadt der DDR. Sie wurde in den 1960er-Jahren als sozialistische Modellstadt von Richard Paulick konzipiert. Zum Konzept der Stadt gehörte die programmatische Integration architekturbezogener Kunst. Sie sollte in einer Synthese mit der Architektur die gesamte sozialistische Stadt ideell bereichern. Die Publikation erklärt die Idee und die Strategie, nach denen architekturgebundene Kunst für das gesamte Stadtprojekt konzipiert war. Vorgestellt werden die Themen, welche die Kunstwerke visualisieren sollten, aber auch, wie die Wahrnehmung der Kunst für die Stadtbewohner geplant wurde. Die Autorin zeigt auf, wie die künstlerische Gesamtgestaltungskonzeption Halle-Neustadts. ursprünglich gedacht war, basierend auf einer Synthese von Kunst und Architektur.

From the 18th century onwards, the museum as an institution has seen an upsurge which especially in Europe and in China has led to new creations and to the redesigning of established facilities in recent years. Simultaneously, the scholarly reflection on exhibitions has become an academic discipline in its own right. The term and the phenomenon of cultural heritage, being a seemingly counter-directed movement between local, regional and national reference points on the one hand and global sites representing the entire heritage of humankind on the other, compose the background music to a recent cultural evolution labelled glocalization. The essays shed light on the complex developments by taking different perspectives and elaborating the present situation by means of contemporary examples.
