Synopsis
Architecture is often seen as confronting the natural environment, its buildings and other objects inscribing boundaries and thereby expressing an internalized point of view. But there is another way of seeing and practicing architecture: By questioning the distinction between landmarks and the landscape they adjoin, architectural objects can themselves be environmental objects that amplify nature and increase our awareness of it.
Portugal Lessons is a project of laba, or Laboratory Basel, founded in 2011 as a satellite studio of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s School of Architecture. The book presents the studio’s case studies of the country and processes of urbanization. Rooted in laba’s latest research, it explores architectural forms of life and housing: whom we live with or open our home to and how permeable that boundary should be. The findings are presented in more than two hundred striking graphics, drawings, plans, and photographs. The book also features proposals for architectural interventions by laba’s students, all of them tackling issues of housing.

Paperback. Condition: New. Architectural objects confront their environment. They constitute a boundary, a form with an internalised point of view. Understanding architecture as environmental objects suggests a questioning of these dichotomies of separation between the symbolic landmark and the landscape background. It represents an architecture that amplifies nature, attunes to it and makes us aware of it.Portugal Lessons takes Portugal as a case study for such contextualism going beyond an understanding of design as immunisation. Based on the latest research program conducted by EPFL's Laboratory Basel (laba), it explores the topic of this architectural boundary: with whom we live, to whom we open our house, how permeable the boundary should be. The findings are visualised in striking images, graphics and maps. The book also features proposals for architectural interventions by laba's students, all of them tackling issues of housing.

Sie beschreiben eine Grenze, eine Form mit einem eigenen, internalisierten Blickwinkel. Architektur als «Umgebungsobjekt» oder environmental object zu verstehen, bedeutet, diese Dichotomie von symbolischem Markstein und landschaftlichem Hintergrund zu hinterfragen und Architekturen zu entwerfen, welche die Natur verstärken, sich auf sie einstimmen und ins Bewusstsein rücken. Portugal Lessons: Environmental Objects betrachtet Portugal als Fallbeispiel für diesen Kontextualismus, der uns dabei helfen kann, das Verständnis des architektonischen Entwurfsprozesses als Immunisierung zu überwinden. Das jüngste Forschungsprojekt des Laboratoire Bâle (laba) der EPFL ging dieser Frage nach der Grenze eines Hauses zu seiner Umgebung nach: mit wem wir zusammenleben und in unser Haus einladen, wie durchlässig diese Grenze sein soll. Die Ergebnisse werden wiederum reich mit Bildern, Grafiken und Karten illustriert dargelegt. Zudem präsentiert das Buch Vorschläge für architektonische Interventionen zum Thema Wohnungsbau von Studierenden des laba. Seller Inventory # 9783038601098
