It has been the French revolution that has paved the way for an inventive and creative spirit in the arts, architecture, literature, and music that enhanced the development of science and technology of the future. Even a few years back, on the 200th anniversary of the revolution, the city presented more breath-taking monuments to modern architecture, which rival any in Europe. This book presents new and innovative projects by architects, who on the one hand, bear witness to the desire to combine environmentalism with the urban needs and, on the other, to the diversity of influence and changes needed in the architectural outlook. All projects will be listed in alphabetical order to the architects and designers, presented in a very clear layout. As far as available floor plans will give additional insights. |

Tokyo constitutes the most populated metropolitan area on the planet, it houses 33 million inhabitants. It is also, possibly, the megalopolis with the highest proportion of recent architecture, what is a result of two significant events: The earthquake of 1923 and the bombardments of World War II. The economic development that took place after the war gave rise to a modern city that stands out on account of its complex infrastructures. In no other city are the boundaries between inside and outside, public and private, up and down as blurred as in Tokyo; this lack of frontiers has shaped an urban setting without parallel which is reflected equally by the most state-of-the-art skyscraper and the most intimate store. This amalgam of architectural typologies has established itself as a reference point for designers from all over the world. Projects are listed in alphabetical order to the architects and designers, presented in a very clear layout. Plans show the layouts of the buildings and single rooms. |

Wahrend seiner abschlieenden Studienarbeit ist Alexander Babic nach Australien und Sudafrika gereitst um sich ganz dem Phanomen der sehr groen LKWs zu widmen. Das zentrale Thema seiner Arbeit konzentriert vor allem auf die Fahrer dieser groen Maschinen.Die Technik der Freistellung, die den Hintergrund ausblendet, ist signifikant fur die Objekte der Bilder: Die Trucker sind „frei“ und folgen ihrem Fernweh. Sie leben unterwegs nicht ganz ungefahrlich, denn die Welt der Highways hat ihre eigenen Gesetze. Alexander Babic hat ihre Gesichter, in denen sich ihre Starke, aber auch ihre Verletzlichkeit widerspiegelt, fixiert. Dabei ist sein wichtigstes Zubehor ein groes weies Tuch, vor dessen Hintergrund er die Manner portraitiert. Er will, so sagt er: „Gesichter, in denen sich Geschichten, Erlebnisse, auch Tragik und erlebte Harte widerspiegeln, auf ganz klassische und ungeschmuckte Art und Weise als Schwarzwei?-Portrats festhalten. “Abbildungen der LKWs, der Rastanlagen und der Landschaften erganzen die schwarzweien Portraits und erzeugen eine atmospharische Gesamtheit der Reihe. |

DAS F-PRINZIP is an architectural 3D board game which encourages a playful examination of the letter F. This concept is based on a constellation of four equally formed F-shapes modelled on the walls of a rectangular room. The short lower bar of the F may serve as a partition. Purpose of the game is to explore the manifold, sheer endless possibilities of creating floor plans and three-dimensional constructions. As a connector between language, shape and function, DAS F-PRINZIP enhances spatial thinking. DAS F-PRINZIP is the result of the artist Feyyaz' constant development of his own art environments. It compacts the idea of space into a recurring principle with numerous variants. Each set consists of four wooden F-shapes and a booklet in a box. |

ENGLISCH CONTEMPORARY CORPORATE ARCHITECTURE is a compilation of the most interesting international projects today, which focus on the presentation and reinforcement of a companyʼs corporate identity. It has been common practice since the 1980s to make use of the communicative possibilities of architecture, both regarding the interior design as well as the exterior appearance of a building: the construction itself is transformed into a symbol of the residing company, hotel or bank. In a similar way as graphic and web design shape a companyʼs corporate identity with the help of logos, websites and public appearance, architecture too has become an important marketing tool. Large companies have the power to greatly influence and shape a cityʼs image: by hiring renowned architects such as Foster & Partners, 3XN and Eric van Egeraat, all of which known for their spectacular designs, they are able to channel the attention of the media from the early planning stages, to the construction phase, furnishing and inauguration of the building. Representative buildings for companies, political, economic, cultural and religious institutions or associations have a longstanding tradition in the history of architecture. Their purpose has always been to demonstrate the clientʼs status in society: their position of power, influence and historical importance. In todayʼs ever changing urban environment defined by multiplicity and differentiation, corporate architecture has become an enormous challenge. Apart from fulfilling functional and aesthetic demands and representing the clientʼs corporate identity, other factors such as “location” are no less to be undermined. City centers, industrial parks or residential areas – to stand out from the surrounding building projects thanks to unique features is no less important than fitting in and complementing the existing cityscape. New media and innovative forms and material make sure that these complex demands are met today. |
