Jahrbuch Fuer Licht Und Architektur 1994 / Annual of Light and Architecture
Relationships between light and shadows significantly characterize the design of a room, and they determine its particular atmosphere. Many and various techniques of illumination can emphasize certain spatial elements, while allowing others to remain in the dark. The modelling of space is therefore possible through light in all of its available forms: light penetrating from the ceiling, light through stained-glass windows, from narrow slots in the wall, daylight or electric light. Light thereby...
Material Culture
Landscript 5 examines Material Culture in landscape architecture theory and design. Designed landscapes are temporal assemblages of extant and introduced materials, constructed and maintained through the efforts of human labor, mediated through non-human forces, and shaped by constantly changing cultural relations. Sites are bounded by property lines, yet their material relationships—from the transport of construction commodities to global water cycles—extend to untold limits. Designed landscape...
The nineteenth issue of the architectural magazine speech: explores the theme of regulations. This particularly technical and nomenclatural theme has, in fact, at first glance a decisive influence on architecture, largely predetermining both its visual embodiment and all of the main operational characteristics. This issue is focused on regulations in the broadest sense of the word - from the urban norms according to which new areas and cities are built, to energy efficiency standards and fire sa...

Vitality is liveliness, to be alive. To be alive is to have the ability to harvest energy for movement, growth, and self-replication. But without health, vitality is just mechanistic. In this issue of LA+ we explore the notion of vitality as a proxy for the health of all things. We explore how design can improve the vitality of people, cities, systems, and landscapes. Articles include: - Sara Jensen-Carr explores the intertwined epidemiology of ecosystems, cities, and human bodies. - Throu...

Der Wechsel von Licht und Dunkelheit beherrscht unser Leben. Obwohl wir in einer versachlichten Welt leben, fuhlen wir uns doch von den Kraften des Dunkels bedroht. Aber auch das Licht empfinden wir als feindselig, wenn es grell ist und nicht zugleich auch Schatten zulat. Das Verhaltnis von Licht und Schatten pragt die Gestaltung eines Raumes und bestimmt seine besondere Atmosphare. Durch verschiedene Beleuchtungstechniken konnen einige Raumelemente hervorgehoben werden, wahrend andere im Dunkel...
