Call me Ornament - Direktorenhaus: München vom 08.09. bis 14.10.2023

Das Ausstellungsprojekt des Direktorenhauses Berlin schlägt die Brücke zwischen Angewandter Kunst und Kunst und widmet sich der Transformation von Innenräumen. “Call me Ornament” verbindet Erkenntnisse der Neuro-Architektur mit künstlerischen und kunsthandwerklichen Positionen. In Anlehnung an Henry van der Velde begreifen die Künstler von »Call me Ornament« die »Arbeit an der Schönheit« als…

How To Cancel “Cancel Culture”

In his speech at Mount Rushmore, President Donald Trump attacked “cancel culture.” It had been one thing to see this phrase constantly brought up on social media but now we were seeing the leader of the free world bring it up on the anniversary of the country’s independence. I have no idea where the term “cancel culture” came from and it doesn’t even matter anymore anyway as it has become yet another term that has been molded into its own strange definition by whomever may use it. In a general sense, “cancel culture” appears to now be pared down to the erasing of something because it’s offended someone.

The problem to “cancel culture” is that it’s become a broad term to represent many complicated, in-depth concepts. I’m going to put what’s been labeled as “cancel culture” into 3 separate groups (there probably could be more but, for the sake of this essay, I’ll keep it to 3).

1. Legitimately disturbing or criminal acts that were done by individuals

2. Correcting a wrongful history for the betterment of society and our nation

3. Revisionism in an effort to address uncomfortable topics

The first, “Legitimately disturbing or criminal acts that were done by individuals” is seen most prominently in entertainment and politics. As a comedian, I’m going to look at the most recent claims against Chris D’Elia and then subsequent backlash towards the “boys club” mentality that exists in stand-up comedy that led old videos of Joe Rogan, Joey Diaz, Theo Von, Brendan Schaub, and others to surface on Twitter. Diaz is a good example of where “cancel culture” goes wrong but it’s where it’s also not well-defined. Almost immediately after the disturbing commentary of Diaz drew widespread attention on Twitter, numerous women in comedy defended him and discussed how he helped them. Diaz has always had a unique and honest sense of humor. He addressed on his podcast that he’s talked about the mistakes he’s made in the past and getting better. It is the crux of his act and his brand of humor. But, on his podcast, he then goes off into talking about “cancel culture.” These situations are always framed under the notion that it’s an attempt to get the comedian “cancelled.” The reality is that all it’s doing is to open up a more intelligent discussion on why this behavior is occurring, holding responsibility for it, and ensuring that a culture that has long existed within stand-up comedy and treats women as less doesn’t continue. In D’Elia’s case, the accusations against him were criminal. They didn’t come out of nowhere. They came from one woman opening herself up on the Internet and then other women connecting with that and revealing that they had also been victimized by this man. This is not some sort of conspiracy to end D’Elia’s career. It’s women opening up that a high-profile man is a predator and ensuring that he does not continue this behavior and hurt others with his position. For D’Elia, he needs to address it and hold responsibility for it and, for now, he only appears to be showing the usual behavior from high-profile men which is to deny the accusations without any further discussion. From this point, there isn’t really a “cancellation” that is even happening. Look at Louis C.K. The story came out and still C.K. has a career and there are people that wish to watch him and do business with him. His career didn’t end up being over even though his apology was terrible and he hasn’t particularly shown any sense of remorse or compassion. Sure, he doesn’t have a TV show or movies anymore. But he also isn’t a destitute hermit. He’s still existent and earning money in this capitalist, patriarchal structure of entertainment.

The second, “Correcting a wrongful history for the betterment of society and our nation,” is seen currently with the removal of statues, which was the major reason behind Trump bringing up “cancel culture.” This is about properly addressing the negative and detrimental history of our country. A statue is a form of honor. This is why if anyone receives a statue, they express a great deal of gratitude for it. No one really learns anything from a statue because, unless all the history you want to learn is on a small plaque in front of the statue, there is not much to be gained from something placed in a public place as opposed to a museum or a book in a library. The statue is there for one reason: to glorify the individual and what they represent in history. What does the Confederacy represent in history? A group defeated in the Civil War and whose flag now stands as a piece of racism more than anything else. What does Christopher Columbus represent in history? More of a violent raider than a peaceful explorer. This is a history that you wish to glorify with a statue? This is a history that you want to have where you live? There is no need for this type of history and glorification in public places. That’s like saying you’d rather have a statue of Donald Sterling outside of Staples Center in L.A. rather than Magic Johnson. And this history isn’t going to go away. Pick up a book, watch a documentary, and really learn about it. That’s more history and nuance than any statue can provide, and it can do it without turning villains into heroes.

The third, “Revisionism in an effort to address uncomfortable topics” is where the people angry at “cancel culture” get their most energy from. It’s again most seen in Hollywood because Hollywood, for as liberal as it may seem, is still as backwards and uncomfortable with race and history as conservative America can be. This is best seen as of late with production companies and streaming services beginning to remove episodes of shows because they may touch on race in an uncomfortable way. A good example was Hulu’s decision to remove an episode of The Golden Girls, “Mixed Blessings,” in which Blanche and Rose appear in “blackface.” The episode occurred in 1988. Even though they are wearing mud masks and not specifically blackface, is it uncomfortable to see that as a source of humor in 2020? Definitely. But, the point of the episode is about Dorothy’s son entering into an interracial marriage. It’s about Dorothy coming to grips with that and the age difference between the two of them as well. Hollywood doesn’t seem to be capable of telling the difference between a piece of art that comments on our society’s racism as opposed to a piece of art that is flat out racist. Nor does it seem to factor when the art was created. Sure, I don’t like that The Golden Girls writers and producers made such a decision in 1988. But it was 1988. The episode still addressed important issues in 1988 and did so with the best intent. This is highly different than, for example, D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation, which was as racist in 1915 as it is today or Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will in 1935. You may laud them for what they did for film but you must teach that they were racist propaganda. They were not well-meaning films at all and they, in fact, contributed to a deadly history. There is no purpose to banning this art. But it’s important to provide better education, better understanding of intent, and better knowledge of history when it comes to viewing this art. Blackface is terrible and has no place in 2020, but in order for it to have no place, people have to understand its history, the manner in which it was used, and the reasons why it is bad. The reality is that few people of color are asking for this third type of “cancel culture.” It’s more so coming from well-meaning white people who do not know how to properly handle race.

“Cancel culture” has become a simple term tossed out by individuals who simply do not want to address their own behavior, responsibility, or history. They would rather say to themselves that they are right than to challenge themselves that they could be wrong, that our society could be better, and that they could progress. All of these situations of “cancel culture” get labeled by the opposition as being “You’re too sensitive!” as opposed to “Let’s have an intellectual discussion to make this better.” It continues to be passed off as some sort of offense or political correctness issue when it’s just an effort to address one’s potential role in a bigger issue in society (whether that’s racism, misogyny, sexual assault, etc.)

“Cancel culture” is just an easy phrase. It’s an easy card to play to avoid dealing with one’s own behavior, speech, history, and art. Strangely enough, it’s a term that’s dismissive when it’s defending itself out of a fear of being dismissed.

20/03/22 - Mind mapping for Studio 3 - My concepts, form/processes and context. I haven’t made a mind map for years, but they remind me of my Mum, she loves them.

My work this semester is based on my personal experience with Complex PTSD. I am exploring the root causes of my Disorder and how I have arrived to be the person I am today. Often riddled with negative thoughts, I believe they are real and in effect I experience feelings that aren’t real. My past experiences have embedded themselves into my body in a way, that my mind is so powerful, it makes my body believe I am re-experiencing trauma. Years of intensive therapy have taught me to look at these thoughts under a microscope; are they real? Are they true? Am I experiencing a moment as an adult woman, or as a small girl?

The Artists I am researching this Semester use a range of different mediums, and have diverse approaches to their craft. My aim is to not only use their mediums and styles as a guide, but look at them as people, their experiences and what has shaped their work.

Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber work in collaboration together on @m_d_n_f library - a series of hand painted books with satirical and thought provoking titles. I find their work excellent when I need food for thought and have purchased their recently published book. I admire that the titles of these books aren’t written or directed at the audience, they are personal to the artist. However, the audience creates their own meaning and many of the statements have a poor grammatical structure, which leaves them open to interpretation.

Christopher Wool, is of course, a very well-known American Artist who uses a range of styles in his work. I am interested in both his Abstract Expressionist paintings and his stencil work. He obscures his words by having the text all run together. I have struggled with this in my own work as I want my messages to be clear; but am acutely aware that the viewer has to focus more to read Wool’s work because of the layout and nature of the text. This is something for me to ponder.

Jules Oliski’s work has a beautiful blend of colours that bleed endlessly to the eye. When I see his work, I feel transported into a void of television static, like I am looking for an image within an empty space. His choice of form and medium never changes, he is constant in his plight to exhaust his investigation of colour.

Callen Schaub creates vibrant work using suspended trays and buckets to deliver swathes of coloured paint across the surface of the canvas. He also has a spinning canvas mount that he operates by a crank, after which he is applied wet paint to canvas. I have enjoyed watching his process and realise that his finished product is never planned - he keeps working at a piece until he decides to stop. I have been applying this to my own practice where I do not envision what a work will look like before I start making it.

How the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation has Affected The Web

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in effect since 25 May 2018 and has affected the World Wide Web to a considerable degree. In collaboration with the University of Michigan, USA, a team at the Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security and the Institute for Applied Work Science at Ruhr-Universität Bochum analysed how the necessary changes have been implemented by enterprises on their websites. The researchers collected the privacy policies and cookie notices on popular websites in all 28 EU member states and analysed which changes were made over time.

The results were published by Dr. Martin Degeling, Christine Utz, Christopher Lentzsch, Henry Hosseini and Professor Thorsten Holz from Ruhr-Universität, as well as Professor Florian Schaub from the University of Michigan as an online pre-print.

The diagram shows the increase in privacy policies (yellow-green bars) and cookie notices (orange-red bars) in the wake of the General Data Protection Regulation.

2020 NBCC Winners

This past winter I was one of 30 judges of the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize for a first book. In March NBCC announced that the book I voted for, Luster by Raven Leilani, won the Leonard Prize. One of my fellow judges, Natalie Bakopoulos says, “On behalf of the NBCC membership, we are honored and delighted to present the John Leonard Prize to Raven Leilani for her brilliant novel, Luster. Luster’s artistry, wit, and narrative surprises make it a tremendous achievement, and its tender and raucous prose mirrors the narrator’s tender and raucous self.” Leonard judge Adam Dalva adds, “Luster is a compulsive book—compulsive to read, with compulsive, complex characters—that brilliantly captures the essence of its lead, Edie. She is a wonderfully depicted swirl of painting, video games, and longing.”

Other 2020 NBCC winners include Nicole R. Fleetwood, who won the criticism award for Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration (Harvard Univ. Press). Committee chair J. Howard Rosier calls the book “Profoundly revisionist,” as it “identifies the conditions under which incarcerated persons create art and taxonomizes its making.”

francine j. harris was awarded the poetry prize for Here Is the Sweet Hand (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), which, judge Megan Labrise says, gives the reader a “gentle caress, a gut punch, a come-hither curved finger, a rib-tickler, and a stop-sign palm,” sometimes “all five at once.” By “exploring femininity, blackness, queerness, nature, and institutions (political, academic, and disciplinary),” Labrise says, these poems “have the power to move.”

Cathy Park Hong won the prize in autobiography for Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning (One World). Committee chair Marion Winik says, “Hong’s endlessly interesting blend of personal storytelling and cultural criticism digs into the personal to find the political, untangling the knots of privilege, envy, dissatisfaction, humiliation, and difference.” The winner in the fiction category is Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell (Knopf), in which the author imagines Shakespeare’s son Hamnet’s death from bubonic plague, lonely and agonizing yet marked by courage. O’Farrell “brings the boy so vividly to life the reader is stricken by his loss,” says judge Colette Bancroft.

The biography prize went to Stranger in the Shogun’s City: A Japanese Woman and Her World by Amy Stanley (Scribner). “Through the life of one persistent, defiant woman, Amy Stanley reveals the sweep of 19th century Japan, how the tiny fishing village of Edo became the global city Tokyo,” says committee chair Elizabeth Taylor.

Nonfiction recipient Tom Zoellner’s Island on Fire: The Revolt That Ended Slavery in the British Empire (Harvard Univ. Press) “engagingly excavates shrouded history,” says judge Carlin Romano, to show how “heroic Jamaican freedom fighters catalyzed the end of slavery in the British Empire,” and in the process “restores these martyrs to their rightful place in the pantheon of justice.”

The recipient of the 2020 Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing, given to an NBCC member for exceptional critical work, was Jo Livingstone, culture staff writer at the New Republic, where they primarily contribute book criticism in addition to film and music coverage. Their writing has also recently appeared in the New York Times, the Times Literary Supplement, and Bookforum. Committee chair Colette Bancroft says, “Livingstone submitted a collection of three reviews of books that ranged from Samantha Irby’s earthy and hilarious personal essays to Christopher Chitty’s deeply researched history of the relationship between sexuality and capital, with a bounce into the thorny autofiction of the latest Martin Amis novel. In each case Livingstone brought to bear keen intelligence, wide-ranging knowledge, surprising perceptions and beautiful writing.”

The recipient of the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award was The Feminist Press. For 50 years, the Feminist Press has been at the forefront of activism for women’s equality. The Feminist Press started by publishing influential works that had been out of print, including, crucially, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wall-Paper, now widely considered a classic of American literature. Over the years, they’ve published books by Anita Hill, Grace Paley, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Pussy Riot. They also publish Women’s Studies Quarterly, the influential journal that was established by the press in 1972. They remain on the vanguard of the feminist movement, and continue to publish essential works of American and international literature, including recent critically acclaimed books by Emily Hashimoto and Juliana Delgado Lopera, an unearthed classic by Harlem Renaissance writer Dorothy West, and one of this year’s finalists in the NBCC’s criticism category, Grieving by Cristina Rivera Garza. Committee chair Michael Schaub says: “[The Press’s] mission statement reads, ‘Celebrating our legacy, we lift up insurgent and marginalized voices from around the world to build a more just future,’ and that’s exactly what they’ve done. Their literature over the past five decades has made the world a better place for everyone.”

Rightfully giving sound designer Benoît Dame equal billing with director Dan Popa, Symphony is an extraordinary sensory experience that proves both lyrical and elemental. As we wash ashore on beaches, cut through arctic waters, and witness the artistry of fishermen, the sea never ceases to inspire awe

True North https://www.viff.org/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=f37288-assholes-a-theory&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id= We undoubtedly live in an age of entitlement, with privileged behaviour flourishing on every front, be it via social media feeds or in the corridors of power. It’s enough to make one wonder whether becoming an a**hole is the only recourse for advancement. Taking cues from Aaron James’ New York Times bestseller, John Walker’s latest documentary not only intrepidly investigates the origins of this phenomenon but also gives voice to its victims, critics (including John Cleese), and opposition forces.

https://www.viff.org/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=f34903-joan-of-arc&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=

How did a teenage peasant girl amaze, galvanize, and terrify the Christian world in the early 1400s? This is the central mystery of Bruno Dumont’s stridently un-Hollywood but sharply focused depiction. What does he focus on? Northern France’s coastal landscapes, incredible vistas, and towering Christian cathedrals. The faces, odd mannerisms, and period logic of the villagers, soldiers, and religious patriarchy. The indelible, shining performance of Lise Leplat Prudhomme as a girl who had a vision.

Architecture of Infinity Architektur der Unendlichkeit

https://architekturderunendlichkeit.ch/en/

SYNOPSIS Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on one’s outlook, may transcend to infinity. How can this be imagined? What goes beyond it? The filmmaker Christoph Schaub starts his personal journey through time and space in his childhood, when his fascination with sacred buildings began – and his wonder at beginnings and ends. Schaub explores, together with the architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Märkli and Álvaro Siza Vieira, the artists James Turrell and Cristina Iglesias and drummer virtuoso Jojo Mayer, the magic of sacred spaces, defined here as far more than church buildings. Who owns spirituality? The film follows “spiritual life” in architecture and the fine arts, but also in nature, and literally lifts it over and above the limits of thinking. A slightly floating camera immerses us in somnambulistic images, takes us on a sensual and sensing journey through vast spaces, and guides our eye towards the infinity of the starry sky and the depths of the ocean. Past and present, primeval times and light years, it’s all there.

Children of the Sea Kaijuu no Kodomo

A loner schoolgirl befriends two boys who were raised by dugongs (manatee-like creatures), and embarks on an aquatic journey to unlock the mysteries of the boys and the sea. Based on Igarashi Daisuke’s lauded manga, director Watanabe Ayumu and Studio4°C’s bold experimental and environmental statement dazzles the eyes with stupendously beautiful animation of the underwater world, and blows the mind with dense symbolism and disorienting imagery that have drawn comparisons to 2001: A Space Odyssey..

One of the most significant scientific breakthroughs in history, the discovery of CRISPR has made it possible to manipulate human DNA. The implications of this could mean the eradication of disease or, more controversially, the possibility of genetically pre-programmed children. Adam Bolt’s stunning work of science journalism reaches out to scientists, engineers, and people whose lives could benefit from CRISPR technology, and offers a wide-ranging look at the pros and cons of designing our futures.

As action-packed as it is relevant, Richard Ladkani’s important documentary is set amidst the spectacular riches and beauty of Baja and the Gulf of California, where Chinese poachers in league with Mexican drug cartels are decimating the seas - especially the nearly extinct vaquita porpoise - in pursuit of the totoaba fish. These amazing vaquita exemplify delicate wildness under threat. Ride along with the intrepid activists aboard the Sea Shepherd patrol ships as they fight a righteous battle. Leonardo: The Works

Another exemplary work from VIFF regular Phil Grabsky (In Search of Beethoven) offers us something extremely special: the chance to tour some of the world’s preeminent museums and to see all of Leonardo da Vinci’s amazing paintings on the big screen. Even if you could travel to all these institutions and see the works in person, your experience would be greatly enhanced by seeing them in such detail here, so well illuminated, and so interestingly brought to life by the expert art historians interviewed..

Hard to find any information on the german artist Peter Bommels, but this is what i found . An interesting interview with Bömmels by Hugo Hoppman:

Publication available at www.ftn-books.com

Peter, what’s the story behind the foundation of SPEX?

It began in 1979. Me and Gerald Hündgen (whom I knew from university where we studied “social sciences” together in the beginning of the 70s) were so fascinated by this new exuberant wave of punk and new wave music with all its experimental, self-referential facets and quirks that we decided to turn our enthusiasm into a form.

Encouraged from this musical dilettantism (german “dilletieren” = to feel happy about sth.) we wanted to create some sort of publishing platform for all the countless new bands that emerged in the rhineland at that time.

We wanted to make a magazine just to write about music, which was new land to us. Fanzines were an inspiration. But we never wanted to idolize certain bands, but were rather driven by the enthusiasm for unrestrained, fearless music, no matter in which form or style it manifested itself.

I assume that this exciting times reanimated the “heartthrobing story of confinement” of our early youth in the end of the 60s. Back then with 28-years, having just finished studies (and no idea which profession would satisfy oneself) this gave us the needed easing and purpose.

To earn a living with it was unthinkable. All friends, who were activated who were music enthusiasts and open enough. Wilfried Rütten (with whom I shared an apartment for a long time), my friend and musician Sigi Syniuga from Düsseldorf (where around 1979/80 was going on the most), Wolfgang Burat and Bernhard Schaub, who in return knew Wilfried. Gerald Hündgen brought his girlfriend Clara Drechsler along who — then 18 — was the youngest of our group. I met Christoph Pracht accidentally on a concert in Neuss. Later the fanzine makers Dirk Scheuring and Ralf Niemczik joined us as the young blood’s from the scene (we got to know each other in the “Blue Shell”). The famous Diedrichsen joined permanently after the first crisis in 1985.

How was the process designing a SPEX issue back in those days?

Obviously a lot was literally made by hand and there was a lot of improvisation. When we couldn’t get a photo I did a drawing. Christoph (Pracht) can tell you more on this topic. [→ Interview with Christoph]

And how did a typical workday look like?

Gerald (Hündgen) was the frontman and editor-in-chief. We had regular meetings with everyone involved. Christoph Pracht was responsible for the layout, which was often intensly discussed together in the beginning. There was always great debates about the cover. The first issues in 1980 we sold personally in the clubs and bars in Cologne and sometimes even had to put up with physical critique …

Are you looking back happily on the 80s?

For me personally the most exciting time of my life. I started simultaneously two projects: SPEX and my own art (together with the group “Mülheimer Freiheit” — W. Dahn, J. Dokoupil, H.P. Adamski, …). Everything began 1980. This was the foundation that influences my life to that day. The 80s opened up many careers that were driven by the atmosphere of a general unideologic joy for experimentation. It was the bloom of the “subjective draft”.

In the 80s Cologne apparently became the mecca of the contemporary art, design and music scene. How was the energy in the city? How was it really?

There were a lot of clubs and possibilities for musician and the first DJ-events (e.g. Soulful Shack in the Stadtgarten, Roseclub, Blue Shell, Whirlpool with, among others, Hans Nieswandt, partly in relation to the artists of Galerie Daniel Buchholz etc.) that sprung to life out of the environment of the SPEX and others.

Many galeries and artists moved to Cologne (I just mention a few representative; Galerie Hetzler mit Martin Kippenberger, Galerie Nagel, … there were galeries founded that have internationally famous today like e.g. Galerie Monika Sprüth, Galerie D. Buchholz, Galerie Jablonka, Galerie G. Capitain, …) and therefore an international art scene emerged here which was decomposed not till Berlin’s rise as capital and metropolis.

The atmosphere was sparkling. The volcano was dancing and we on top …

How was it like — also in regard to today — to publish your own magazine? The positive and the negative aspects? And how did you manage it financially?

The budget for SPEX was modest. Every founder brought 2000 Mark (≈ 1000 Euro) to the table. The fight for advertising clients was long hart. It helped us having “idealistic” friends in the music industry (partly former SPEX writers).

The absolute will of everybody involved to work hard was essential. The first years were self-exploitation at its finest. Later moderate fees could be paid. We all believed in the cultural necessity of the magazine. Motivation was (is) everything.

How old have you been the SPEX was founded? And how did you came to do it? What did you do before that?

I was 28 years old and had studied social economy (“Staatsexamen”). From 1977 to 1980 I made the obligatory civil service (in a kindergarten) where I continued to work afterwards. From the beginnings of my studies (where I also met Gerald Hündgen and Wilfried Rütten) I aimed to participate on forms of “Gegenöffentlichkeit” (the local newspaper for example) all in regard to the big idol Alexander Kluge.

What are your favourite musicians and LP’s from back in the days?

Only rough and quickly: XTC with Nigel, surely Clash with London Calling and Let me stay or let me go respectively Rock the Kasbah, everything from the band Suicide (Alan Vega, Martin Rev), everything from Elvis Costello, DAF und Palais Schaumburg …

Thank you, Peter!

Birkhäuser Herzog & de Meuron 1978-1996, Volume 1-3 By Gerhard Mack A reprint of the first three "Complete Works" on the influential Swiss architects. Per the publisher's website, the set is in German/English, not just German as in the links above.

Told in first person through collaborator Tim McKeough. Columbia Books on Architecture and the City A House Is Not Just a House: Projects on Housing By Tatiana Bilbao This petit book transcribes a lecture given by Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao at Columbia GSAPP in October 2016. With a focus on housing, Bilbao makes many logical arguments for improving housing for all.

Images Publishing Architecture Can!: HWKN Hollwich Kushner 2008-2018 By Matthias Hollwich, Marc Kushner Closer in size and proportion to a guidebook than a traditional monograph, HWKN's first monograph mixes their words and renderings with professional photos and images from social media. Island Press Copenhagenize: The Definitive Guide to Global Bicycle Urbanism By Mikael Colville-Andersen I learned about Mikael Colville-Andersen many years ago through Flickr, where he has thousands of photos of people on bikes, both in his native Copenhagen and in many other cities and countries. This book collects his thoughts on bicycles and their place in cities.

Laurence King Hassan Fathy: Earth & Utopia By Salma Samar Damluji, Viola Bertini Hassan Fathy's Architecture for the Poor is a classic and a must for any architect (I'm grateful to have gotten my hands on a first edition at a used bookstore a few years ago). Earth & Utopia is a beautiful tribute to Fathy's words and buildings, presented as a large-format book with plenty to absorb on every page.

The Monacelli Press Le Corbusier: The Built Work By Richard Pare, Jean-Louis Cohen A great combination: Around 60 buildings designed by Le Corbusier, photographs by Richard Pare, and words by Jean-Louis Cohen. It's Pare's photos that stand out, drawing attention to the varied states of Corbusier's buildings.

The Museum of Modern Art Oasis in the City: The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden at The Museum of Modern Art Edited by Peter Reed, Romy Silver-Kohn Philip Johnson's great sculpture garden at MoMA turned 75 this year. This coffee table book celebrates the "oasis" in Midtown Manhattan, just as MoMA transforms itself through another architectural expansion.

ORO Editions The Work of Machado & Silvetti By Javier Cenicacelaya, Iñigo Saloña I've been a fan of the built and unbuilt "unprecedented realism" (the name of their 1996 monograph) of Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti since at least the mid-1990s. This monograph collects projects designed by the duo over the last four decades.

Park Books House Tour: Views of the Unfurnished Interior Edited by Adam Jasper The official publication of the Swiss Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, winner of the Golden Lion for best National Participation. The labyrinth of empty apartments at various scales drew attention to the literal emptiness of photos of residential architecture in Switzerland.

Phaidon Drawing Architecture By Phaidon Editors Although Phaidon's one-page-per (building, garden, etc.) format is a bit formulaic and inherently shallow, sometimes the subject makes one of these titles irresistible. For me, it's architectural drawings by Zaha Hadid, Roberto Burle Marx, and many more.

Prestel Modern Spaces: A Subjective Atlas of 20th-Century Interiors By Nicolas Grospierre French-Polish photographer Nicolas Grospierre captures the interiors of buildings "both grand and mundane," most I was completely unaware of. The photos are presented as pairs with similar spaces and characteristics but divergent uses and geographies.

Princeton Architectural Press Studio Joy Works By Rick Joy The sequel to Rick Joy's Desert Works presents 13 projects completed by the architect in the last 15 years, many outside his home state of Arizona. Beautiful photographs make this monograph, just like his first one, a must.

Rizzoli Steven Holl: Seven Houses By Steven Holl Sub-subtitled "Luminist Architecture," this handsome, slipcased book documents seven Steven Holl houses completed over the last twenty years, some of them on the architect's own property north of New York City. Routledge Life Takes Place: Phenomenology, Lifeworlds, and Place Making By David Seamon An academic title on phenomenology that argues for the importance of place in our "mobile, hypermodern world." David Seamon was a professor of mine in undergraduate architecture school at K-State, so I'm looking forward to diving into his latest book. Scheidegger and Spiess Peter Zumthor Talks About His Work: A Biographic Collage By Christoph Schaub One of two new titles on Swiss architect Peter Zumthor from Scheidegger and Spiess (here's the other), this one offers copious insights into the contexts of his work and his self-conception as an artist." (Note: This title is a DVD, not a book.)

Taschen Rem Koolhaas: Elements of Architecture By Rem Koolhaas Koolhaas updates his 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale exhibition as a 2,528-page behemoth designed by Irma Boom.

Thames & Hudson Santiago Calatrava: Drawing, Building, Reflecting By Santiago Calatrava with Cristina Carrillo de Albornoz I've heard of exhibitions on the models that Santiago Calatrava has produced over the years, but lost in the shuffle are his sketches, collected and discussed here relative to his bridges, train stations, and other structures.

Timber Press GGN: Landscapes 1999-2018 By Thaïsa Way The first monograph of Gustafson Guthrie Nichol, it contains such landscapes as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Campus in Seattle, the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC, and the Lurie Garden at Chicago's Millennium Park. UCL Press The Venice Variations: Tracing the Architectural Imagination By Sophia Psarra Sophia Psarra paints a portrait of Venice as a prototypical city aided by analyses of Italo Calvino's classic Invisible Cities and Le Corbusier's project for Venice Hospital. University of Virginia Press Shaping the Postwar Landscape: New Profiles from the Pioneers of American Landscape Design Project Edited by Charles A. Birnbaum, Scott Craver The fifth installment in TCLF's "Pioneers of American Landscape Design" project chronicles the lives and work of important landscape designers in an encyclopedia format. Necessary for landscape designers and those interested in the preservation of modern landscapes. UR (Urban Research) Spaces of Disappearance: The Architecture of Extraordinary Rendition By Jordan H. Carver Jordan H. Carver, a contributing editor to the Avery Review, has investigated the architectural spaces of secret prisons and taken a look into the post-9/11 spaces via architectural drawings.

W. W. Norton Historic Preservation, Third Edition: An Introduction to Its History, Principles, and Practice By Norman Tyler, Ilene R. Tyler, Ted J. Ligibel The third edition of Historic Preservation comes a couple years after the National Preservation Act of 1966 turned 50. One could argue preservation is even more important now, making this a much-needed introduction to the subject. Yale University Press City Unseen: New Visions of an Urban Planet By Karen C. Seto The authors of City Unseen reveal that the satellite views of Google Earth aren't the only way to see the earth from above. They present traditional satellite views with non-visible wavelengths colored to convey more information about cities and landscapes. from A Daily Dose of Architecture https://ift.tt/2DULhCM

Dieser Freitag, der 2. Die Bundesliga kehrt für eine weitere Saison voller Überraschungen zurück. Der Rest der Liga will die Ex-Bundesliga-Giganten Hamburger SV und 1 abschießen. FC Köln , sowie den gefürchteten Absturz auf die 3 vermeiden. Liga .

Im ersten von zwei Artikeln schaut VAVEL UK auf neun der 18 Seiten – Hamburg, Köln, Holstein Kiel </stark, Arminia Bielefeld, SSV Jahn Regensburg, VfL Bochum, MSV Duisburg, 1. FC Union Berlin und FC Ingolstadt 04 .

Der zweite Teil folgt am Donnerstag.

( AC Mailand ), Sven Schipplock (Bielefeld), Bobby Wood (Hannover, Leihgabe), Mergim Mavraj (veröffentlicht)

Hamburg ist seit der Einführung der Bundesliga 1963 zum ersten Mal in der zweiten Liga und wenn die Aufführungen in den Grundzeiten etwas sind, ist es kein Moment zu früh. Nichtsdestotrotz gab es gegen Ende der letzten Saison unter Titz Anzeichen von Versprechen und viele ihrer Mannschaft, einschließlich erfahrener Aktivisten, die sie bis zum letzten Tag am Leben hielten, wie Aaron Hunt und Lewis Holtby < //> haben sich gegen das Springen entschieden.

Auch die Entscheidung von Young Fiete Arp, sich den Verlockungen des FC Bayern zu widersetzen, ist besonders lobenswert, auch wenn die Chancen stehen, dass er endet da oben irgendwann. Die 2. Bundesliga ist für ihn der perfekte Platz, um sein großes Potenzial zu zeigen, wie es auch für die anderen Hamburger der Fall ist.

Ihre Vorbereitungen wurden jedoch durch eine Welle von Verletzungen im Rücken so sehr gedämpft von Bates und Rick van Drongelen erwartet werden. Die Freundschaftsspiele waren stark, abgesehen von einem Freak-Verlust gegen Aarhus, während Hunt, Holtby und Pierre-Michel Lasogga von seiner Leihgabe bei Leeds United <zurückkehrten Auf dem Papier sollten sie beim ersten Versuch wieder aufsteigen. Hamburg macht die Dinge nicht so einfach, Fußball wird nicht auf dem Papier gespielt.

1. FC Köln

( ?stanbul Ba?ak?ehir ) p>

Wo ist alles schiefgelaufen? Im Mai 2017 besiegte Köln Mainz mit 2: 0 und sicherte damit zum ersten Mal in einem Viertelzentrum den europäischen Fußball. Nur 15 Monate später bereiten sie sich auf wie in der zweiten Reihe vor. Das Fehlen eines adäquaten Ersatzes für Anthony Modeste , Verletzungen von Schlüsselspielern wie Jonas Hector und ein Zusammenbruch der defensiven Stabilität ließen die Billy Goats für die meisten in der Bundesliga-Tabelle aufgehen der Saison, trotz einiger Anzeichen für eine Erholung unter Stefan Ruthenbeck.

Es gibt jedoch Hoffnung in diese Kampagne. Schlüsselspieler wie Hector und Timo Horn haben neue oder erweiterte Deals unterzeichnet, was in diesen beiden Fällen umso bemerkenswerter ist, als sie sowohl mit Bundesligisten als auch mit Premier League-Clubs in Verbindung standen. Sie haben auch klug gekauft, mit starken Neuverpflichtungen einschließlich Schaub und Hauptmann, plus zwei Schlüsselmänner von Kiels Team des neuen Trainers Anfang der letzten Jahreszeit in Czichos und in Drexler.

Erste Vorsaison Resultate und Leistungen verursachten Sorge unter den Die treuen Fans des Clubs, aber die Siege über Bremen und Mainz in ihren letzten beiden Aufwärmspielen, werden die Stimmung erhöhen, und wenn es nicht alles auseinander fällt, ist es unglaublich schwer, etwas anderes als eine sofortige Rückkehr in die Bundesliga für den Karnevalsverein zu erwarten.

Die letzte Saison war in der 2. Bundesliga zum ersten Mal seit über 35 Jahren ein Traum für die Störche. Ihr schwindelerregendes, frei fließendes Fußballspiel erregte die Vorstellungskraft aller Beteiligten, und in einer unglaublich offenen Liga setzten sie sich für einen Schock-Aufstieg in die Bundesliga durch. Ihre Form rutschte weg, aber sie hielten sich immer noch auf dem dritten Platz, nur um unvermeidlich gegen VfL Wolfsburg im Relegations-Play-off zu verlieren.

Diese Saison wird sehr unterschiedlich sein. Anfang ging nach Köln, gefolgt von Czichos und (über Midtjylland) Drexler, während andere Schlüsselfiguren der letzten Saison, vor allem Torschützenkönig der Liga Marvin Duck (unterzeichnet von Elternverein St. Pauli von < stark> Fortuna Düsseldorf ) fehlen ebenfalls. Seiten, die das Play-off verloren haben, kämpfen traditionell in der Saison danach, nachdem Eintracht Braunschweig im letzten Jahr sogar abgestiegen ist, so dass Kiel eine schwierige Aufgabe bewältigen könnte, um überhaupt in der Liga zu bleiben.

Es gibt jedoch Hoffnungsschimmer. Der neue Trainer Walter ist in seiner Jugendzeit bei den Jugendmannschaften von Bayern München sehr beliebt, während Lee Jae-Song, der als bester südkoreanischer Spieler in seinem Heimatland noch vor seinem Wechsel nach Deutschland galt , könnte sich als einer der Stars der Saison erweisen, wenn er seinem Ruf gerecht wird.

Bielefeld ist in diesen Tagen weit von der modischsten Mannschaft der Liga entfernt, aber nach dem sie weitermachen das Jahr vor Re, Saibene hat Fortschritte gemacht, indem sie zwei letzte Sprüche in der dritten Reihe hinter sich gebracht hat, und sie sind in der letzten Saison leise knapp unter dem Podium gelandet, ohne jemals wirklich damit zu drohen, einen Platz darauf zu ergattern.

Ihr Bestes Das Geschäft in diesem Sommer dürfte wahrscheinlich Andreas Voglsammer gewesen sein, trotz intensiven Interesses aus Ingolstadt, während Massimo, nachdem er in der vergangenen Saison aus den Jugendmannschaften ausgeschieden war, noch zwei Jahre beim Klub bleibt, obwohl er für Stuttgart unterschrieben hat. Ihr größter Name war Schipplock, ein Stürmer, der sich wieder in das Netz einarbeiten muss.

Trotz der Tatsache, dass die Mannschaft aus der letzten Saison den letzten Platz belegt, wird es schwierig sein, den vierten Platz zu erreichen für Saibene-Männer, besonders wenn einige der teuer gebauten Trupps ihrem Ruf gerecht werden. Zwar besteht die Gefahr, dass sie die Erwartungen nicht erfüllen, auf der anderen Seite sind sie aufgrund der Stabilität und Erfahrung ein dunkles Pferd im Aufstiegsrennen.

In der vergangenen Saison schien Bochum den Entwurf für wie man aus der 2. Bundesliga verbannt wird und zwei Wochen vor dem ersten Spiel mit vier Mann (inklusive Betreuern) den Verein Gertjan Verbeek rausschmeißt, der im Laufe der Kampagne die Mannschaft letztlich übernimmt. Der letzte von denen war jedoch Dutt, der zu dieser Zeit ein uninteressanter Termin war, aber gegen Ende der Saison einen unwahrscheinlichen Aufstieg in die Offensive startete, obwohl er wie andere in der Liga zu kurz kam.

Diesen Sommer war eine der Konsolidierung, mit wenigen Neuanmeldungen. Maier ist aus Hannover angereist, Janelt und Tesche haben gesehen, dass ihre Ausleihungen in das Ruhrstadion dauerhaft wurden. Entscheidend ist jedoch, dass nur wenige den umgekehrten Weg gegangen sind, obwohl der Verlust des kreativen Stögers nach Düsseldorf deutlich spürbar sein wird.

Die Vorsaison war gut, aber die Mannschaft sieht solide aus könnte wieder ein Problem sein, es sei denn, oder Kreditsignierung Ganvoula kann eine reiche Ader der Form treffen. Dennoch kann in diesem Jahr eine viel stabilere Kampagne erwartet werden, und Bochumer Fans werden mehr Zeit damit verbringen, nach oben zu schauen als nach unten.

Trotz einiger schwerer Niederlagen war Duisburg in der vergangenen Saison fast so konstant wie die anderen beiden Aufsteiger und liegt punktgleich mit beiden Mannschaften die drei Teams, die über ihnen endeten.

Nach der Beförderung in der letzten Kampagne war viel los erwartet von die Eisern letzte Saison. Sie kämpften, um loszulegen, dennoch war es eine seltsame Entscheidung, Jens Keller zu entlassen, der Anfang Dezember dazu bestimmt war, sie zum ersten Mal in die Bundesliga zu führen. André Hofschneider konnte keine Tabellenführung vorweisen und war eines von vielen Teams, die sowohl bis zum Ende der Saison gefährlich nah am Aufstieg als auch am Abstieg waren.

Der Sommer war einer von vielen Erneuerung. Einige Schlüsselspieler der letzten Spielzeiten sind bereits ausgeschieden, allen voran Skrzybski, dessen Form im vergangenen Jahr ihn zu einem Wechsel nach Schalke verholfen hat. Die Übernahmen waren jedoch beeindruckend: zwei der besten Spieler aus den Abstiegsvereinen Braunschweig und Kaiserslautern in Reichel und Andersson sowie Hübner und Schmeidebach aus Hannover und Mees nach Regensburg.

Sie haben auch ein Trainer in Fischer, der mit seiner Erfahrung in der Führung großer Clubs in der Schweiz, zuletzt FC Basel , einen weiteren ehrgeizigen Termin in gleicher Weise wie Keller macht. Wie bei Keller vor zwei Saisons, und angesichts des Kaderumsatzes, könnte man erwarten, dass die sofortige Beförderung sehr viel verlangt, aber sie haben Stuttgart und Hannover in dieser Saison beinahe verdrängt, und sie könnten dieses Mal auch Köln und Hamburg erreichen FC Ingolstadt 04

Nachdem viele von der Mannschaft aus der Bundesliga abgestiegen waren, erwarteten viele von Ingolstadt im letzten Jahr eine sofortige Rückkehr, doch das war nicht gerade der starke Kater. Maik Walpurgis wurde schon früh von Leitl abgelöst, und obwohl sie immer nur eine gute Serie von Ergebnissen zu sein schienen, ohne sich um einen Platz unter den ersten drei zu bemühen, kam ein solcher Run nie zustande, als sie in der überfüllten Mitte blieben. In der neuen Saison haben die Schanzer immer noch eines der stärksten Teams in der Liga. Sie haben einige Randgruppenspieler losgelassen und Morales wurde von Düsseldorf gekniffen, während sie einige gute Neuverpflichtungen gemacht haben, wobei Kerschbaumer und Gimber im vergangenen Jahr in Leihgaben bei Bielefeld und Regensburg jeweils beeindruckt hatten. Der Wechsel für Osawe, der heiß und kalt für Kaiserslautern blies, ist etwas kurioser.

Sonny Kittel war in der letzten Saison der eindrucksvollste Spieler und sie haben ihn entscheidend gebunden ein neuer Deal. Er ist einer von vielen Spielern, die viel Kreativität bieten, aber wenn sie herausfordern wollen, dann brauchen sie ihre Stürmer, um sie am meisten zu machen. Wenn einer von Stefan Kutschke , Dario Lezcano (vorausgesetzt, er bleibt) oder Benschop feuern, werden sie dieses Mal ernster herausfordern.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. | Darnold shines, Bridgewater sharp as Jets top Falcons 17-0

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. | Darnold shines, Bridgewater sharp as Jets top Falcons 17-0

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sam Darnold sparkled in his NFL debut, Teddy Bridgewater looked sharp and healthy, and the New York Jets earned the franchise’s first preseason home shutout by beating the sluggish Atlanta Falcons 17-0 on Friday night.

Darnold, the No. 3 overall draft pick in April, was the Jets’ third quarterback of the game, following Josh McCown and Bridgewater. The former USC star was greeted by loud cheers and a standing ovation as he jogged onto the field at MetLife Stadium with 8:41 to go in the first half.

Darnold’s first series ended in a punt and his non-throwing left hand was checked out by trainers on the sideline after it was stepped on. But he was fine and wore a glove in the second half.

He got the crowd on its feet again just before halftime, throwing a 14-yard touchdown pass to Charles Johnson that gave New York a 17-0 lead.

The 21-year-old Darnold showed the poise of a veteran on the drive while completing six straight passes to get to the Falcons 3. He would’ve had a seventh consecutive completion, but his throw into the end zone was dropped by Johnson. Darnold went right back to Johnson on the next play, and the receiver caught a 3-yard pass for a TD — but was called for offensive pass interference.

On third-and-14, Darnold again threw to Johnson while rolling to his right and zipping in a pass for the score.

Darnold, who finished 13 of 18 for 96 yards, missed the first three days of training camp before his representatives and the Jets agreed on a fully guaranteed four-year, $30.25 million deal that included a $20 million signing bonus. He quickly made up for the missed time, and is being given every opportunity to win the starting job.

McCown is the incumbent and started the game, but played just one series — as he did last summer when New York wanted extended looks at Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg. The 39-year-old veteran completed his only throw, a 4-yard toss to Neal Sterling. TEDDY’S NIGHT

Bridgewater came out with the starting offense for the Jets’ second possession and led New York down the field on a scoring drive, capped by Isaiah Crowell’s 16-yard catch-and-run to the end zone. Crowell, in his first game with the Jets after four seasons in Cleveland, was evaluated for a head injury after taking a few hard hits on the play. He didn’t return.

Bridgewater, who suffered a serious knee injury in practice while with Minnesota nearly two years ago, converted a third-and-11 with an 8-yard pass to Robby Anderson — while also taking a hard hit from Takk McKinley and bouncing back up. On fourth-and-3 from the Falcons 40, Bridgewater connected with Jermaine Kearse for a 6-yard gain and a first down to keep the drive alive.

Playing with the backup offensive line on his second series, Bridgewater led New York on another scoring drive capped by Taylor Bertolet’s 45-yard field goal.

Bridgewater finished 7 of 8 for 85 yards and the TD.

SHORT STINT Matt Ryan played the first series for the Falcons, and completed his only attempt to rookie Calvin Ridley for a 2-yard loss.

He was replaced by veteran Matt Schaub, who went 9 of 9 for 54 yards while playing the rest of the first half.

SLUGGISH Atlanta got its initial first down of the game with 10 seconds left in the first half on Schaub’s 10-yard pass to Eric Saubert. The Falcons finished with 11 first downs. New York, which had 12 in the first half, ended up with 15.

NATIONAL ANTHEM Players from both teams stood during the anthem, with no demonstrations. The Jets linked arms on the sideline, including owner Christopher Johnson, as they did last season.

SITTING OUT Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones and running back Devonta Freeman did not play, despite being healthy. Kicker Matt Bryant and offensive tackle Ty Sambrailo had previously been scratched by coach Dan Quinn.

Several Jets didn’t play, including rookie tight end Chris Herndon, who wasn’t spotted on the sideline during the game. Also out because of injuries were: left tackle Kelvin Beachum, linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin, defensive tackle Deon Simon, rookie cornerback Parry Nickerson, and running back Eli McGuire.

STILL NOTHING Atlanta tried to stop the shutout in the closing seconds, but David Marvin was short on a 42-yard field-goal attempt as time expired.

HEADS UP There were three penalties called under the new rule prohibiting players from leading with their helmets, including two in a three-play span. Jets cornerback Buster Skrine was called on a kickoff return by running back Ito Smith, who was penalized for lowering heads moments later while blocking on a second-down play. The third infraction was on Atlanta safety Damontae Kazee late in the second quarter.

INJURIES Sterling left in the third quarter with an ankle injury and didn’t return. … Skrine left the game after injuring his shoulder during the play on which he was penalized. … Falcons backup guard Jamil Douglas left with a finger injury.

NEXT UP Falcons: home vs. Kansas City on Aug. 17. Jets: at Washington on Aug. 16.
