Author: Uta Graff, Hannah Rochelt, Jonas Virsik (eds.)How can architectural constructions be integrated into the landscape? How is architecture conceivable in flood-prone areas or arid landscapes? What role do the topography and materiality of the landscape play in architecture? This book discusses how “reading”, observing, and capturing space and landscape determine an architectural design in different landscape contexts. Large-format illustrations of artefacts and models, project descriptions and essays document the various issues.On the basis of selected works created between 2021 and 2023 in the master’s programme at the Chair for Building and Design under the direction of Prof. Uta Graf at TU Munich, certain aspects of design become the focus of consideration in the book. The order of the works is chronological, but can be understood and read differently. The open structure of the book makes it possible to discover and follow “traces” while reading it.ISBN 9783955536466. Birkhauser Verlag. pb. 192 pages. numerous ills. 23.5 x 33 cm.in stock Show more
