Hardback. Condition: New. Nairobi, in its short history spanning just over one hundred years, has grown to be one of the most varied and international cities of our contemporary world. Migration has been shown as one of the key forces infl uencing the city. In the context of Nairobi's complex colonial and postindependence political trajectory, migration has reinforced ethnic, spatial, and economic differences, leading to the formation of multiple power structures. This process is evident in the city's radically different urban patterns. The book documents, along specifi c neighborhoods, how different cultures of urban life constitute the city today.…

Hardback. Condition: New. On September 29 and 30 1941 more than 33,000 Jewish men, women, and children were murdered in Babyn Yar, a gorge near Kiev. This event constituted the largest single massacre perpetrated by German troops against Jews during World War II.In commemoration, a synagogue designed in the shape of a book will open on the same site in 2021. When opened, the book building's inner space and its furnishings unfold. This impressive movable structure was designed by Manuel Herz, whose studio runs offices in Basel and Cologne. This book for the first time shows the Babyn Yar synagogue captured in photographs by celebrated architectural photographer Iwan Baan, as well as through plans and model photos.Yet the core part of the book tells the story of the Jewish people and of Judaism through the medium of space: the Jewish concept of space from biblical times to the present. Space as a leitmotif is understood in broad terms here: territorially, architecturally, psychologically, theologically, intellectually, as well as pertaining to the persecution of the Jewish people. Rather than in an abstract treatise, this story is told through 135 brief and engaging texts by Robert Jan van Pelt, a leading Holocaust researcher and professor of architecture. Each of these reflections is illustrated with drawings and watercolours by New York-based artist Mark Podwal, who is known for his illustration of Elie Wiesel's works.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Testo Italiano e Inglese.Melfi, 2018; br., pp. 132, ill. b/n, cm 12x21.(Arianuova). Il volume presenta alcune recenti opere dell'architetto Manuel Herz, nello stesso tempo professionista colto, installato a Basilea nel cuore del benessere occidentale e intellettuale irrequieto in movimento perenne, che lascia l'Europa confortevole, e ultimamente rinchiusa su sé stessa per paura dell'altro, per studiare i campi di rifugiati come nuove forme dell'urbanistica contemporanea, che documenta con pazienza e rigore analitico le condizioni di vita precarie degli insediamenti dei profughi del Sahara Occidentale. Nei suoi progetti e realizzazioni non è possibile discernere alcuna ripetizione di forme, di materiali o di disposizioni dello spazio che rappresentino una maniera costante, ma piuttosto ogni intervento può essere considerato come un esperimento autonomo. Le questioni associate a ogni situazione spingono Herz ad azzerare ogni volta il repertorio delle scelte possibili per rispondere invece con una proposta specifica che assomiglia solo in parte a quella che la precede o a quella che la seguirà. L'introduzione è di Fabrizio Gallanti. Libro.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Understanding and managing urban change in our global era demands a high degree of specialized and interdisciplinary knowledge. At the same time, city planners, architects, researchers, policymakers, and activists are deeply immersed in the chaotic and often contradictory urban realities that they are asked to address. What is Critical Urbanism offers an innovative toolkit for engaging these present realities across disciplinary specializations and geographic purviews. Central to the book is the research and pedagogy of the Critical Urbanisms MA program at the University of Basel, established in collaboration with the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. The program's renowned and emerging urbanists demonstrate the power of working with care and reciprocity across different contexts and institutions, driven by engagement with varied communities of practice. They show how alternative urban futures can be imagined by addressing the historical injustices and global entanglements that shape the urban present. The book is tailored to students, graduates and teachers of urban studies and related disciplines including architecture, urban design, human geography, architectural history, and urban anthropology.; Der rasante Wandel unserer umkämpften Umwelt insbesondere in Städten fordert von urbanen Akteuren und Akteurinnen - Stadtplanerinnen, Stadtforscher, Lokalpolitikerinnen, Aktivisten - eine enorme Menge an interdisziplinärem Fachwissen. In der Praxis hingegen sehen sie sich zunehmend mit den chaotischen und oft widersprüchlichen Realitäten des städtischen Lebens konfrontiert. Wie also lässt es sich produktiv und kreativ umgehen mit dieser global vernetzten, aber ebenso radikal fragmentierten und zunehmend ungleichen urbanen Welt Indem sie Urbanistik als pädagogisches Praxiskonzept begreifen, zeigen ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten des Masterprogramms Critical Urbanism an der Universität Basel in diesem englischsprachigen Buch innovative Ansätze zum Verständnis von Städten im 21. Jahrhundert auf. Ihre Beiträge bieten Hilfestellungen in der Auseinandersetzung mit den unzähligen Möglichkeiten, den Kosmos Stadt differenziert zu denken und entsprechend vielfältig zu gestalten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren scheuen dabei nicht, den kritischen Blick auf historische Ungerechtigkeiten zu werfen, die noch heute die urbane Gegenwart prägen: Aus dieser vergleichenden Betrachtung leiten sie vielmehr neue Formen des Engagements für eine alternative städtische Zukunft ab.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -When African Modernism was first published in 2015, it was received with international praise and has been sought after constantly ever since it went out of print in 2018. Marking Park Books' 10th anniversary, this landmark book becomes available again. In the 1950s and 1960s, most African countries gained independence from their respective colonial power. Architecture became one of the principal means by which the newly formed countries expressed their national identity. African Modernism investigates the close relationship between architecture and nation-building in Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, and Zambia. It features one hundred buildings with brief descriptive texts, images, site plans, and selected floor plans and sections. The vast majority of images were newly taken by Iwan Baan and Alexia Webster for the book's first edition. Their photographs document the buildings in their present state. Each country is portrayed in an introductory text and a timeline of historic events. Further essays on postcolonial Africa and specific aspects and topics, also illustrated with images and documents, round out this outstanding volume. Winner of the FILAF d'or, the first prize for Best Books on Art 2015 at the FILAF (The International Art Book and Film Festival). Named one of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books 2015. Winner of the DAM Architectural Book Award 2016.; Die erste Ausgabe von African Modernism. The Architecture of Independence erschien 2015 und wurde mit grossem internationalem Lob bedacht. Seit 2018 ist sie vergriffen und seitdem stark nachgefragt. Anlässlich des 10-jährigen Jubiläums von Park Books erscheint nun eine Neuausgabe dieses wegweisenden Buches. In den 1950er- und 1960er-Jahren erlangten die meisten afrikanischen Länder die Unabhängigkeit von ihrer jeweiligen Kolonialmacht. Die Architektur wurde zu einem der wichtigsten Mittel, mit dem die neu entstandenen Länder ihre nationale Identität zum Ausdruck brachten. African Modernism untersucht die enge Beziehung zwischen Architektur und Nationenbildung in Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenia und Sambia. Es werden 103 Gebäude mit kurzen beschreibenden Texten, Bildern, Lageplänen und ausgewählten Grundrissen und Schnitten vorgestellt. Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Bilder wurde von Iwan Baan und Alexia Webster für die erste Ausgabe des Buchs 2015 neu aufgenommen. Jedes Land wird in einem einleitenden Text und einer Zeitleiste der historischen Ereignisse vorgestellt. Weitere Aufsätze zum postkolonialen Afrika und zu spezifischen Aspekten und Themen, ebenfalls mit Bildern und Dokumenten illustriert, runden diesen herausragenden Band ab. Gewinner des FILAF d'or, dem ersten Preis für die besten Kunstbücher 2015 beim FILAF (The International Art Book and Film Festival). Ausgezeichnet als eines der Schönsten Schweizer Bücher 2015.
