About this title

Synopsis

Im 19. Jahrhundert bildeten Eisenbahntrassen und Kan�le gleichzeitig Ger�st und Motor f�r die Stadtentwicklung. Diese Rolle �bernehmen heute die globalen Daten- und Warenstr�me – so die These der Autorin. Die Material- und Kommunikationsfluss stellt gleichsam die DNA unserer Umwelt dar. Diese Entwicklung hat enorme und zum Teil noch unabsehbare Auswirkungen auf unsere St�dte. Logistik-Netze und deren komplexe Struktur machen zunehmend ihren Einfluss in vielen st�dtischen Bereichen geltend. Auch Gegenbewegungen zum Internet-Handel – als einem der greifbarsten Ph�nomene – formieren sich, wie die allgegenw�rtige Kritik an den dazugeh�rigen Arbeitsbedingungen und der Trend zum regionalen Produkt zeigen.

Die Autorin beschreibt die aktuelle Entwicklung und geht ihren Auswirkungen auf Architektur, Landschaftsarchitektur und Urbanismus nach: Die Fragen der heutigen Hypermobilit�t von Waren wie von Menschen finden Eingang in die Entwurfsarbeit und erzeugen neue Paradigmen f�r Architektur und St�dtebau. Erste Ans�tze einer Integration dieser Aspekte werden beispielhaft an urbanistischen Projekten vorgestellt.

Store Description

Russian Hill Bookstore, established in 1974, is one of the last family-owned used and new bookstores in San Francisco. We began as Sunset Bookstore in 1974, a small used bookshop servicing the Sunset District west of 19th Avenue, and have been in continual operation for the past 50 years. Over the years Sunset Bookstore has since closed and merged with Russian Hill Bookstore, which has grown to also become the best note card shop in the city, and a favorite place for toys and games for children of all ages.
