"Das Bild der Kathedrale Notre Dame in Flammen ergriff und schockierte mich zutiefst. Ein Vermächtnis von unschätzbarem Wert lag vor unseren Augen im Sterben. Es war beängstigend und ich hatte das Gefühl, der Boden unter unseren Füßen hätte begonnen zu beben." So äußert sich der große Schriftsteller nach dem tragischen Brand, der die Kathedrale Notre-Dame am Abend des 15. April 2019 verwüstet hat. In seinem berühmtesten Roman, Die Säulen der Erde, beschrieb Ken Follett ausführlich die Verbrennung der Kingsbridge-Cathedral fast wie eine Vorahnung dessen, was in Paris geschehen ist.

With the appearance of Grunch of Giants, R. Buckminster Fuller consummates his literary canon, his panoramic lifetime survey of all aspects of the responsibility of human beings for their own destiny. This book is a modern allegory - his long-gestated myth-of the villainy of capitalism and the fecklessness of classic economics. For Fuller, the academic discipline of economics is irrelevant since it derives from an invalid assumption of scarcity.

Wir arbeiten in ihnen, spazieren über sie und fahren durch sie hindurch: Dass Hochhäuser dem Sturm trotzen, Brücken und Tunnel dem Verkehr und der Schwerkraft standhalten, ist jedoch nicht selbstverständlich, sondern fast ein Wunder - und der Kunst der Ingenieure zu verdanken. Roma Agrawal, die Westeuropas zweithöchsten Wolkenkratzer plante, weiht uns ein in die Geheimnisse der Statik. Auf ihrer Reise durch die Geschichte der Gebäude erzählt Agrawal, wie Materialien Bauweisen revolutionierten und warum die wichtigste Errungenschaft des Römischen Reichs der Ziegelstein war.

Der Prolog ist der Auftakt einer Publikationsreihe von Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer und seinem Architekturstudio caspar: Der Nachhalt. Der Architekt Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer gesteht sich ein, dass er angesichts der eskalierenden Klimakrise seine Haltung überdenken - oder auch erst wirklich entwickeln muss! So wie die allermeisten Architekt:innen. Aber er hat Zweifel. Einerseits sagen alle das Gleiche, andererseits trifft man an jeder Ecke auf Widersprüche. Bevor Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer zu seiner Haltung findet, muss er mithilfe eines Leitfadens durch das Labyrinth.

The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong. Yet the power of present day ideas is so great that many feel uncomfortable, even afraid, to say openly that they dislike what is happening, because they are afraid to seem foolish, afraid perhaps that they will be laughed at. Now, at last, there is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself.

A soaring bridge is an obvious infrastructural feat, but so are the mostly hidden reservoirs, transformers, sewers, cables, and pipes that deliver water, energy, and information to wherever we need it. When these systems work well, they hide in plain sight. Engineer and materials scientist Deb Chachra takes listeners on a fascinating tour of these essential utilities, revealing how they work, what it takes to keep them running, just how much we rely on them—but also whom they work well for, and who pays the costs.

Thirty years after its publication, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was described by The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning....[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments."

No city stirs the imagination more than Venice. From the richly ornamented palaces emerging from the waters of the Grand Canal to the dazzling sites of Piazza San Marco, visitors and residents alike sense they are entering, as fourteenth-century poet Petrarch remarked, “another world.” During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Venice was celebrated as a model republic in an age of monarchs. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it became famous for its freewheeling lifestyle characterized by courtesans, casinos, and Carnival.

With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A Place of My Own not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the connections between our bodies, our minds, and the natural world.

In 1945, Edith Farnsworth asked the German architect Mies van der Rohe, already renowned for his avant-garde buildings, to design a weekend home for her outside of Chicago. Edith was a woman ahead of her time—unmarried, she was a distinguished medical researcher, as well as an accomplished violinist, translator, and poet. The two quickly began spending weekends together, talking philosophy, Catholic mysticism, and, of course, architecture over wine-soaked picnic lunches.

Es ist ein Schock für die ganze Christenheit: Konstantinopel ist gefallen! Verbissen haben die Byzantiner die Stadt verteidigt, doch die Übermacht der Türken war erdrückend. Wo Hunnen, Perser, Araber und Bulgaren gescheitert waren, haben die Türken 1453 triumphiert. Jetzt schmückt sich der osmanische Sultan Mehmed II. mit dem Beinamen »Vater der Eroberung«.
