Paperback. Condition: New. Our contemporary condition, governed by the abstract apparatus of the capitalist market, demands a critical reading of the distribution, ownership, and use of common resources such as land. This is especially true in Britain with its long history of privatisation stemming from land enclosure. The latest research campaign of Laboratory Basel (laba), a satellite studio of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, investigated the English manor house and how it can serve as a testing ground to reassess Britain's complex and ongoing relationship with the countryside.The south-west of England, the most rural region of one of the more densely populated countries in Europe, reflects all the absurdities of a globalised country under pressure to develop economically, physically and environmentally. Highly protected landscapes, both natural and composed, form the backdrop to historic seats of political power and wealth, whilst sites of intense modern productivity are neatly concealed behind natural veils.Manor Lessons: Commons Revisited, the concluding volume of laba's Teaching and Research in Architecture series, explores the lessons that can be learned from the compound history of the Manorial System, whose forgotten feudalistic origins were once rooted in the idea of the land, not as private property but as common ground.

Paperback. Condition: New. The infamous Scramble for Africa in the late 19th and 20th centuries disrupted the entire African continent with enduring repercussions. Morocco - located at a crossroads between Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab-Muslim world in the Maghreb, and Mediterranean Europe - has struggled to withstand the resulting cultural and sociopolitical clashes ever since.Fez Lessons: Industrious Habitat looks at Fez, Morocco's famous former capital and today its second-largest city. Based on a recent research program conducted by EPFL's Laboratory Basel (laba), it investigates how these clashes have marked the city's socioeconomic structure and urban fabric, and whether or not it offers alternative and relevant means of human association and community.Given the growing stream of large-scale international investment, the constant enticement of tourism, and a worldwide revival of nationalism, Laba's student's and researchers were looking for tiny cues, nagging doubts, and signs of the fusion between form and life, raising questions about identity, authenticity, tradition, the globalisation of culture, and the use of local resources. Their findings are visualised in the book in striking images, graphics and maps. Students' proposals for architectural interventions addressing these issues are presented through images and plans.

Paperback. Condition: New. Venice, one of the world's most famous places, has a dual nature of real city and myth. It is suspended in the struggle between sea and soil and unable to survive without cyclical preservation and continual compromise. The myth, which is largely shaped by nostalgia and ideals of the past, superimposes today's real city with its infrastructural challenges and can hardly be reconciled with a concrete future. Venice Lessons: examines this conflict. Based on a recent research program at EPFL's Laboratory Basel (laba), it demonstrates how the city must constantly redesign its historic image to retain its position as one of Europe's prime tourist attractions while the necessary permanent renovation undermines its livelihood. The findings are visualised in striking images, graphics and maps. The book also features proposals for architectural interventions by laba's students. Interlaced is a reprint of Miroslav Sasek's famous picture book This is Venice which reflects the common Venice nostalgia while the Venice Lessons research context enables a fresh reading of this children's classic.
Condition: Gebraucht, sehr gut. 1. Architektonische Objekte stellen sich ihrer Umgebung entgegen. 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.

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.
